Gah. I'M BORED.
Since I got nothing to do, I would blog. Hmm. Wala akong maisip. Routine lang naman buhay dito. Kaya boring.
Fine, just for the sake of posting.
It's been 3months since Spring Semester started and time really flies so fast. In almost three weeks, the sem's over. :D And what, I don't feel that I've accomplished a lot. I must admit that for those three months, I didn't give much effort to excel in my subjects. I settled for mediocrity. And until now, I'm not really sure if mediocrity could save me this semester. O God, please spare me from failing. =\
I missed most of my classes this semester and missing classes means missing quizzes as well for my two other subjects. I have three classes for this sem and I am quite sure of passing 2 out of 3. Yung isa, goodluck sa akin. Absent kasi ako palagi sa subject na yun. And the bad thing is, I think my professor knows about my absences. Tsktsk. Tapos, since I always miss that class and 10% is for attendance, goodbye 10% for me diba. Gah. Tapos tapos, his exams are not very easy. Even though I study for them until almost 5am, it was still not enough. I passed my first two exams, but for the last one, I doubt it. Oh well, I still have one final exam left for it, and I need to do well. Or else, patay ako.
Anyway, kamusta nga ba ang first semester ko dito sa sem? Aside from talking about the academics proper and about my grades, I can say that College life here is way more different than that in the Philippines. You see, I have classmates which are older than me. Unlike in UP, you get to mingle with classmates of almost the same age as you are. Here, some are over 25 years old. Most of them, or I must say, most of us juggle work and school every day. Well, I don't work everday but they do. They work 7 or 8 hours in the morning and go straight to class in the evening. Yes, they do that. I'm also quite new about this idea. Amazing diba. Pero that's how it really goes here.
When it comes to having friends, I did make a few acquaintances. I have classmates which I talk to every class. Take note, talk to lang. I don't hang out with them. Coz I think, ganun talaga kapag College dito. You go to class, mingle with your classmates, have fun with them during class. But once the class is over, once you get out of the room, you would all seperate ways and do your own thing. Sad diba? Pero sanay na ako.
They also have organizations here but unlike UP orgs, they are not into activities or building friendships. They are more into academics stuff and career-related activities. At sa aking pagoobserve, sororities lang yung mga group na super bonded. Kaya nga may times na parang gusto ko ng sumali ng soro e. Haha. Kasi it's not like Pinoy sororities wherein there are physical initiations, it's more of like public humiliation. And I think that would help me be more matured and confident. Kasi suuper mahiyain ako dito. I won't talk to you if you don't approach me first. Haha mapride? Ayun.
All in all, I don't like College here. Haha bitter. Well, I'm getting used to it. What can I do, ganito dito e. I just have to adjust to it, and more importantly, I really have to mature now. Eto na ata ang calling ko ng pagpapakamature. Haha. Siguro kasi, I started College in the Philippines kaya ako nanibago. But I think, once I find the right people to call as my "US College friends (haha)", I'll be fine. :) I hope so.
For now, I still have two final exams, two projects and two reports left. After that, I'm done. I would officially be a bum again. Brr. Hmm, but I think I'd take summer classes. Para rin makagraduate na ng mabilis. I'm also planning to work full time for the summer so that I can save money. And either I go to Canada for two weeks or go home to the Philippines. HAHA. If anyone would lend me or better yet, give me money for the plane ticket, I'll surely go home. Haha.
Hay. I miss Philippines. I miss my friends. I miss you. Yes, YOU! (You know who you are.) :D
Everyday you wait is another day you’ll never get back again.
