Future Engineer’s Second Semester Thoughts

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Probably, this semester would be the most challenging. I know that this would be nearly as chaotic as last semester but what the heck — I have to face this and try to do my best to at least be my old self again. The one who studies and prepares a lot for examinations; the one who’s always ready ’cause he always know it all.

Here, I made a list of goals I have to meet for this semester.

Academics
I’ve been lounging in the 2.0 and below GWA for the past five semesters. Last semester was the lowest as I got a GWA of 3.0. Now I know that this is really my path, the field that I choose to live with. Now I have to adhere to the decision that I made. That should reflect on my grades.

With a very supportive set of orgmates, coursemates and barkada dormmates, I should do well.

Be A Responsible Org Person
I already resigned as the VP for Secretariat of the UP DOST Scholars’ Association. Mainly because of my academics and other matters I have to attend to. I’d rather resign than to spend another semester with colleagues which doesn’t have trust even a bit. Also, I believe that I made a lot of things possible and I felt unappreciated, unrecognized — worse, I heard some things I didn’t wanna hear.

On the brighter note, I can focus more on my other organization Pisme’. I was able to head an event last semester. I’m looking forward to show more of my skills and do my best for the betterment of the organization.

It also enables me to get closer and connected with my coursemates.

Discover Myself More

I really have to know what I really like. You might not get it but I’m quite confused in how the things are getting in control. A lot of things has happened this past year which affected and changed how I see things, how I see life.

Example? I have feelings for someone I should not be having for that person. I know that this kind of relationship might not work and might not be applicable for a long term one. But still, knowing the Mr. Hopeless Romantic that I am, would try to make it work. At least, for me to be happy.

I have an admiration for a colleague right now and I’m not really sure if it would be a good move to tell that person what I feel. It would be a lot easier if that person likes me too. Well, let’s call that person Angel. And Angel’s already taken. At least, that what Angel said. But, I still think we had a lot of chemistry. I just have to be more sensitive and be more understanding of the situation. I’d probably not tell Angel what I really feel — not until I’m ready to be with this person.


Look Good, Lose Weight

I really have to lose weight. It’d be easier for me to fully discover myself if I’d be good-looking. Naisip ko din na a boss would much likely hire a neat-looking, smart and slim person. And I’m not that smart, and worse, I’m fat.

Save Money
I earned some from blogging, writing articles and tutorial jobs. May alkansya din ako but I still want to earn more, save more, and spend less. Lalo na if para lang sa food. I think I’m really not a thrifty person when it comes to food.

Find A Special Someone
It sure is good to find someone who’d always be there beside me. Someone who will care and have concern for me. I’m not really wanting someone just to have someone but it really sucks to be alone.

I hope that Angel would be a really good prospect. I just want to know how Angel feels and I hope that Angel will be able to accept me for all I am.

Pero siyempre, I have to look good for Angel. :-) When I’m prepared and able to take risks, it would be a perfect time for us to be together.
I hope that everything turns out for the better. I really had a lot to hope for and it would be great if this semester ends, if not all, most of this be accomplished. What’s really interesting is if I’d be able to live up with these goals.
There. :)

P.S. This is the first entry I made which took me about two to three hours to finish. Nabura kasi ‘yung unang draft without saving. Tanga ko ‘di ba?

You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you back… so let go, trust and you may pleasantly surprised at what happens.

You are totally dissatisfied with your present situation. Matters are not going right for you and you are seeking a means of escape. Your mental state of mind necessitates that you need to change your thinking patterns. Remember, if one particular modus operandi doesn’t seem to work, then try something different.

You are not an argumentative sort of person and ‘rather than fight – you’d switch’ (an old cigarette ad cliche). But when you try to assert yourself – as sometimes you may try to do – you meet with so much resistance and effrontery that manifests itself so obviously that you become hurt, indignant and resentful. So in order to have peace and quiet you tend to become inhibited. You keep it all to yourself but deep down, you ‘feel’ and ‘hurt’ a lot.

Whatever has caused the situation, you just don’t seem to be able to sustain or maintain relationships as you would wish to. What you really seek is to be able to develop a relationship with someone with whom you can truly share: Love, Serenity, Peace and Quiet. But you are a very demanding person and it is your nature that leads to disquiet and discord: you are like the tide, flotsam and jetsam… One minute you experience ‘highs’ and a few moments later ‘lows’. This obviously will introduce discord into any relationship and with this demanding attitude – the ideal state you desire is unable to develop. Despite the urge to gratify your natural desires, you impose a considerable self-restraint on your instincts in the belief that this demonstrates your superiority and raises you above the common herd. You are extremely critical of everything that is presently going on around you and you find it difficult to listen to or to take advice from anyone. You enjoy the original, the ingenious and the subtle.

You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.

Stalkers, My Second Semester A.Y. 2008-2009 Schedule! Haha.

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

After three deadly days, I almost pass out because ES 13 is so mailap. Imagine, one teacher even had an interview just for the students to get slots for the subject. I brought two friends in the interview, and one of my friends was granted the slot. I was mummified. If I didn’t bring my friend there, I could’ve gotten the slot. But God is so kind, there’s a newly opened section that I was able to ge in. I cancelled my ES 12 TTh class in conflict and went straight to another professor to prerog for his ES 12 WF class.

Yes, I know that my schedule’s pretty heavy during WF’s but I like it this way. It would allow me to make use of my TTh afternoons in preparation for WF days. That also means I can still have a parttime work, maybe tutorials, afternoons of TTh.

My Monday class is the only schedule of the subject so, there’s no choice but to have a Monday class. I hope this semester would be a blast for me and for you and the entire human race. HAHA. Corny.

That’s it. I’ll just have to pay tomorrow and get myself enrolled, officially.

CRS Results

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Last time, I had the following schedule.

TTh
08:30-10:00 [GE 1]
10:00-11:30 [ES 13]

WF
01:00-04:00 [ME 41]
04:00-07:00 [ME 91]

After the second batch run, wherein I cancelled ES 13 (10-11:30) since I want a better professor, my schedule looks like this.

TTh
08:30-10:00 [GE 1]

WF
08:30-11:30 [ES 12]
01:00-04:00 [ME 41]
04:00-06:30 [ME 91]

After the third batch run, wherein I enlisted some GE’s and ME 73. My schedule looks like this.

M
10:00-04:00 [ME 73]

WF
10:00-11:30 [ME 165]
01:00-04:00 [ME 41]
04:00-06:30 [ME 91]

Take note that my GE 1 and ES 12 were removed from the list even though I know that my ES 12 and GE 1 were ranked higher than ME 73 and ME 165. RARR. So I need ES 12, ES 13 so I cancelled ME 165.

After the third batch run, the schedule looks like this.
M
10:00-04:00 [ME 73]

TTh
04:00-05:30 [Lingg 1]

WF
01:00-04:00 [ME 41]
04:00-06:30 [ME 91]

Arggh! My TTh class is really way off of my preffered schedule. Yes, my schedule’s pretty messed up. I’ll cancel Lingg 1 later since I want my TTh afternoons off.

This is my preferred schedule:
M
10:00-04:00 [ME 73]

TTh
07:00-08:30 [ES 13]
08:30-10:00 [Any GE]

WF
08:30-11:30 [ES 12]
01:00-04:00 [ME 41]
04:00-06:30 [ME 91]

I hope tomorrow I will be able to get the schedule I prefer.

Rest.

Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Yes, after a week-long full of stress – just to make sure that my remaining grades are passing, I had my well-deserved, long-awaited semestral break. What I was thinking is how I could fit everything I have to do in just four days.

That was Wednesday. After I learned that I passed ES 21, I shouted “Yes, makakauwi na rin ako.” It was a moment. Golden, perhaps. At least, it gave the two professors in front of me at that time, a reason to burst a laugh due to me, careless of what other people in the Engineering Science department may think, shouting my heart out that I can now go home – worry-free.

I felt ecstatic. After a few days of camping outside that office. I listed a few things I should cover within the four days of break. Number one in my priority would be setting up a mini-reunion with my highschool mates. Number two was to pay a visit with my dentist. Number three was to study the first few chapters of the ES 12 book (so that I would be able to pass the course next semester). Number four on my list would be planning the subjects I’d be taking up in the future semesters. Fifth, schedule the interview sessions for my organization’s application. And sixth, spend some quality time together with my family.

I have accomplished most in my list, I think. So, even with so little time and so much to do, I definitely had a worthy mini-sembreak. I can’t say that I had a blast but it sure was fun taking a rest for a while and not to worry much but to lay down in my bed the whole day or to watch my favorite series and of course — EAT.

Its also a tradition (whenever I go home for semestral break )that I’d be the one in charge in cooking! So yeah, I’m pretty much the head of the kitchen for the past few days. I don’t consider it as an obligation ’cause I enjoy doing it. Well, serving my parents while at home, would be the least thing I can do for all the things they’ve done for me.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed your sembreak too!

As of now, I’m already here in Manila, getting ready for takeoff. Surely, this semester would be a lot harder than the previous one.

Even this enrolment thing makes my mind go crazy. I’ve got to sleep now. I have a seven o’clock appointment with my ineligibility status tomorrow, and I’m sure it’d be one hectic day.
