Summer Class!

"Summer class is an oxymoron to me." - Julian Balmaceda, Mar 2011

Summer classes started two days ago. So far, all has been well. I gave myself a pat on the back for enlisting myself in great classes! Two out of my three classes are actually held in air-conditioned rooms. I guess I really am the chosen one. Should have known, should have known.

My teachers are also really kind, especially my Psych teacher! For some reason I feel like a kindergardener in her class... It's probably because of the really cute clip arts and gifs she uses so much in her powerpoints! Awww. My Economics teacher was awkward like the awkward turtle at first, but nonetheless cool! He gives two-item daily quizzes that are so darn easy and he attempts to conserve paper by letting us use the same 1/8 piece of pad paper for two quizzes. As for my Spanish teacher, well... she gives me headaches. She can't use the computer nor the OHP very well. And she unconsciously speaks in Spanish all the time and I can't understand most of what she is saying. Thank goodness for the lunch break afterwards.

I found new friends this summer and I'm happy about it. Hihihi. Or maybe I'm just fooling myself.

Did you know? AJSS Batch 44 has their English class in the same class as my Economics class! Right before my class starts too! I look at them and I realize it has been two years since I joined that seminar that changed my life forever. I was happy then. *faraway look in the eyes*

Anywayyyy, I just love my block and how close we are. Even when we all have different classes and schedules and stuff, we still try to eat lunch together as much as possible to hang out and play cards! And everyone with FLCs starts conversing with each other in Mandarin or Spanish or French. Sometimes I like to just keep quiet and listen to you guys talk and try to memorize your voices. Do try it! :D Actually it was my friend Arielle who did that with me during our last days of AJSS, and well, do try it! It's nice to remember the voices of your good friends and read their FB messages in their voices! K. Senti momeeeeent.

I'm trying to keep my summer really busy to keep myself... so here's a bunch of stuff I signed up for this summer!

1. I am going to Singapore this Holy Week!!! And miss THREE DAYS OF SCHOOL! Woohoo! *tear* We are only allowed three cuts per class this summer sem. .__.
2. I joined the Ateneo Book Bench! It's an org made by students that aims to make the library a more fun and lively place! :D I joined the Alt-Lib 101 Committee that focuses on making a nice, entertaining manual for bewildered freshies like I was--almost destroying the microfilms and panicking over my research papers.
3. I am going to attend the BIRDWALK next month, sponsored by the AEMC (Ateneo Environmental Management Coalition) and ABES (ADMU Bird Ecology Study Group)! I just love looking at the birds around Ateneo, because they are so many of them that you can't see anywhere else in Metro Manila! Like overfed maya birds in Manang's, for example. Nah, I'm kidding.
4. I have also set a long-overdue appointment with the Guidance office. At LAST they have a slot for me. :| I have gone there more than five times, asking to have an appointment but always being sent away because scholars and people who have real, major problems should go first. THANKS A LOT.
5. I have been neglecting the Aluminum Folio. I am ashamed. Actually, all of us are neglecting it. There's school now so it's much harder to write anything decent. :(
6. I shall hang out more at the lib. I wonder if that's going to happen at all.

So yeah, that's it! All links exist because they are meant to be clicked. Go on, don't be shy! :D
