My brain, it melts.

What’s the word?
That’s the word!

What’s the time?
4D last time!

Aww.

4D WIN!

We used to be a square, now we’re an octagon.
4D just got edgier!

I love my pussycat dolls and soulja boys. 83

I haven’t blogged all this week. It’s been sabayang pagbigkas practice day in and day out. I don’t mind, really. I love hanging out with my class. Tomorrow’s practice won’t be at my house though, it’ll be at Raizel’s. I don’t know what to expect since the environment definitely won’t be as liberal as my house – goodbye boisterous yelling and Cruel Intentions 3 – but I guess I’m finally getting my wish of getting out of my house. Note to self: Be careful what you wish for. >_<

I’m stuck with the problem of transporting all our props to Raizel’s tomorrow. Good luck to me, our props are a little bit bigger than life-sized. T___T

Not to mention that I haven’t done anything academic this past week. I haven’t started on the pile of homework given to us – come to think of it, I don’t even think I have the complete list :| – nor have I done any reviewing for the ACET. I’m in the second batch of the first day. I forgot to take note of the exact details, but they’re posted on our bulletin board. ACET math is supposedly the hardest math of all the college entrance tests, so it will definitely be the death of me who’s oh so bad at numbers. I think Logical and Abstract Reasoning will kill me too, but my mom said she’d help me with these techniques she learned at law school, a place where, according to both my parents, I will eventually set foot in. (Set foot in, in this context, means to sink into slowly and painfully, like quicksand.)

I put Legal Management as my first choice, and I do not have any course choices in the School of Humanities. Surprised? Me too. If I pass the Ateneo, I wish to shift into a course at either the School of Humanities or the School of Social Sciences. As god as my witness, I do not want to be a lawyer. I really, really don’t. T__T

I can play a lawyer on a top-rated soap opera, though. XD


First Post: Reflections on the Admissions Forum

July 16, 2008

Our batch skipped a portion of lunch and the rest of our afternoon classes for a forum on college admissions. Representatives Enderun, DLSU, CSB, UST, UA&P and, of course, the Ateneo, came and sold their respective universities to us by presenting the different programs and courses that they offer prospective freshmen such as ourselves.

Their arguments were solid, and presented on such dazzling platforms.With the free merch going around, it was hard not to smile.

Quoting UA&P’s recruitment video: It’s not about courses, it’s about choices. I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in the past, and while I believe that these have been great learning experiences, they do not go without repercussions. Though I’ve ripened into high school maturity, my past faults are coming back to haunt me and will definitely weigh in on this turning point of a choice: College. Choosing the right college is as important as choosing the right course. This is something I’m not taking lightly. Perhaps I’m being serious to a laughable fault, my anxiety leading me to create a WordPress account, a blog separate from my Livejournal and Multiply. But this is the last leg of this race called high school, and I can’t trip on any hurdles now. I don’t think I can afford to even have hurdles at all.

But we’ll see, we’ll see. This is, after all, only the first post. My name is… well.
