whew. just another week of acads has gone by, and day after day i'm starting to lose my freshie-ness. haha. i was having my “sana friday na” chants since wednesday, but in fairness, i actually enjoyed the whole week. *cheers* hmm.. what to write about? okay then, anything goes.

if you have a class where everyone is supposed to speak in front, how many meetings do you think would it take for everyone to get to know each other? my comm 3 class actually proved that three meetings are enough. sir ken, our prof, even tried guessing everybody’s name before the end of the third class. his perfect score supplied him with a round of applause. astig.

what's even more cool is that we had a new classmate, sun (remind me to post his whole name later), who is an exchange student from korea. i'm just lucky and quite proud to say that so far, i am the closest person to him in class. *smug look* haha.

we had groupings, and my group adapted the method that i have inherited from my dearest alma mater: adlib. it was quite funny to find out that the other groups even practiced last wednesday, whilst in our group, the draft of the skit was disseminated through text. *lol* i’m the lucky “texter”, and am the only “guy” in our group. ehem.

funny, the ceiling fan in our last comm 3 classroom was rotating, (you know that? the head mismo ‘yung umiikot), but the blades themselves weren’t moving. haha.

weird, it’s just my second week and i'm starting to fall asleep in class. specifically, in philo 10. imagine our delight when our prof didn’t show up last thursday. yeah.

and adding up to my “sleepy” mode was the fact that i’ve quite exhausted myself in p.e. - self-defense for women. i was never of the physically fit kind, so imagine how my shoulders and chest ached after doing a minute of push-ups and another of crunches. the rush from the math building and the gym (which are on two different ends of the campus) doesn’t really help to ease the pressure. argh. but last thursday's p.e. was fun. we measured our body’s circumferences (*lol*, go figure.), and my body’s gotten used to the work-out. sana.

my classmates in geog 1 actually shouted “true!” when i told them in our 2 + 1 game (the one where you tell two truths and one lie, or two lies and one truth about yourself, and have the class guess which is which) that my height is 5’1”. yippee.

if you’re a upd student and you’re planning to take ms 1/oceans and us as a g.e. next sem, i would have recommended sir coke, if only it isn’t his last sem right now. he's pretty funny, although he frequently says random things (note: these include homeworks) and he makes us do uncommon things like meditation dance and waves while counting off in class. pero kuya andrew said that he’s generous in giving grades, basta maki-ride ka lang sa activities n’ya. the only thing that i don’t like in ms 1 so far are all the random homeworks. plus the huge name plate that we are supposed to wear for two months in class. *sweatdrop*

been a upd freshie? then i bet you’ve encountered, or at least heard, the upperclassmen’s usual teaser: “lagot ka, may math 17 ka.” i've always wondered, what is with math 17 anyway? if you don’t get the terror profs, you should be fine, right? ehem, wrong. i actually thought i'd make it peacefully through this sem’s math 17, our prof being a quite new one and all, but boy was i so wrong.

we had our first surprise quiz kanina. and hell, was it complicated.

*sigh* forget math 17. during the weekend, at least

of course, the week wouldn’t be complete without the bonding moments that i oh so love. i bumped into some of the sixth batch members, who are in fact my batchmates in college; i ran into some people from higher batches as well, especially into kuya andrew who’s been present at the kalai steps during the past few days (happy birthday, kuya!); and, i met up with some of my batchmates, including wel and jc with whom i hanged out last wednesday, and meng who came home for vacation and had just arrived again in singapore today. i missed you so much, merryn! *hugs*

the pangangapitbahay in our corridor is getting more and more frequent. have i mentioned that i have an annex-mate whom i call ka-twin? haha. it started when mei (a chinese annex-mate) said that we look alike, and then we started discovering common things between the two of us. she's very funny. we usually hang out in each others rooms (no, we're not roommates) during our free time. our sched's are similar din, eh. *beams*

ayan, i signed in on YM and now my mind’s turned blank. guess that’s it for this entry. haha. i wonder if i can update on a weekly basis. hmm. *starts wondering*

anyway, God bless! ja ne! *peace*
