The Block R3 2009 LoveSeat, Pabaon 2008
Sometimes, all we need is a little magic to get by

Call me sentimental, but in less than a year, I will be graduating and venturing off to the “real world.” In less than a year, I will no longer use the word “student” as my profession.

Today officially marked the first day of my last year in college. Not bad, for a first day funk. :)

Ph104 with Sir Anton was AWESOME. It was my first class of the first day of my last year in college, and I’m really glad to know that I enjoyed every single minute of it. I think it also helped to see a lot of familiar faces in class (especially since I dragged some of my blockmates to enlist with me HAHAHAHA). I’m really looking forward to his classes, and I hope I don’t get disappointed as the semester progresses. My next class was Traditional Chinese Medicine with Dr. Navarro. It was very…interesting. There were definitely a few familiar faces, but they were all mere acquaintances from classes back in sophomore and junior year. Dr. Navarro seems like a funny guy. I think I will enjoy this class, too. I had a 4-hour-30-minute break before my next class, and spent a lot of time with Block GG (the AB Chinese Studies freshies) who hung out in MVP. I kid you not when I say that they fit perfectly in Celadon. HAHAHA :))  Th141 with Bobby Guev soon followed, and I couldn’t help but wonder whether it would be worth it to be in a Theology class with Filipino as the medium of instruction. I remember how much Thera, KJ, and I (yes, KJ’s my classmate in Theo! Yay!) were having bouts of “nosebleed” from too much Filipino during one of our activities in class. HAHAHA :)) Th141 was pretty fun and interesting. BobbyGuev had a lot of amusing anecdotes that kept the class entertained throughout the class period. Oddly enough, he strangely reminds me of American Idol Finalist Elliott Yamin. Is it just me or does he look like him? O_o

On my way home, I decided to stop by the library. It was there where I bumped into Raymond, my freshie 2 years ago (and now a certified hardcore-TnT-in-the-making). He then told me, “Grabe ang bilis noh? Gragraduate ka na this year pero tuwing nakikita kita parang feeling ko pa rin sophomore ka tas freshie pa rin ako. Ang bilis!” For more obvious reasons, I got a wee bit sentimental when he said that. He and the rest of my freshies are one of the reasons why my college experience was and is wonderful as it is.

My first day of my last year in college was great, and I’m glad that everything just fell into place today. We’ll see what happens tomorrow (and my 5-hour-30-minute break haha).

I will definitely miss college :(


Panalo Quotes of the Day:
Sir Anton: “Don’t call me Mr. Sevilla. That’s my dad!”
BobbyGuev: “Let’s set the record straight—I am NOT a priest.”

This blog entry is dedicated to the last OrSem of my college life. It was on June 7, 2005, when I had my first day of OrSem as a college freshman. Exactly three years later, June 7 2008, I celebrate my last OrSem in AdMU.
Pardon the sentimental sappy-ness in this entry :)

Thank goodness I’m finally done enlisting for my classes. Our university online enlistment system (AISIS) was very inefficient during the enlistment process. I mean, it doesn’t take a genius to know that if you cram about 2,000 students to enlist in one day, the system will crash. Will AISIS ever learn? xD On the brighter side of things, at least the enlistment process wasn’t as horrible as it was when AISIS was first introduced to the Ateneo community. I just can’t imagine spending 8 hours of my life trying to enlist for just one class. xD Crazy.

Wonder if anyone had an easy time enlisting in the system.

After wresting with the AISIS demons for about an hour and a half (from 9:30am to 10:50am), I managed to come up with a pretty decent schedule (and notable professors):

• Chn50: Chinese Medicine with Mr. Francisco Navarro
• Com15: Audio and Video Production Techniques with Ms. Chi-chi Robles
• Com161: Public Relations with Mr. Sev Sarmienta
• LS100: Organizational Behavior with Mr. Charlie Leonor
• Ph104: Foundations of Moral Values with Mr. Anton Sevilla
• Th141: A Theology of the Catholic Social Vision with Mr. Bobby Guevara
