So the most awaited day finally came. My first day of college. It wasn't really surprising how I didn't get enough sleep the night before, thinking about everything that might happen. So as expected, the day turned out great. I made a lot of friends, some of whom I already know on Facebook, and some whom I just met that day.

I made it to school at around 6:20AM, since my first class was scheduled at exactly 7PM. So I had to find our building first before settling, but unfortunately when I entered the building, the guards told me that the rooms wasn't to open until 7AM. So I just walked around the campus trying to get more familiar with the place. Luckily I encountered Dave, Lara and Jeanel. I just spent the next 30 minutes with them and finally entered the building.

I also got to meet some more of my blockmates and made small talk with them before our instructor came in. It was actually pretty funny how we're all so close already that we greeted and clapped at each person that entered the room. We also met our instructors in Filipino, English, History and Philosophy that day. While the instructors for Math, Science and Intro to Mass Communication introduced themselves on the second day.

PS. I'm really glad to have made that much friends already, and it's just the third day tomorrow. (Today's my free day so asdhadjafahd) and also really sorry if I didn't make a post about this on the exact day as the first day. Just, too lazy. =))

I went back to school (How weird is it that I use the term "school" now) yesterday for the scheduled orientation for the Junior Officer Applicants. I got there at around 12PM, which was pretty early since it was scheduled to be on 1PM. I was supposed to be around 30 minutes earlier, but the traffic was harsh (which is, by the way, a blessing in disguise because if it wasn't for the traffic, I would have waited longer than I did). I encountered one of my co-JO Applicants, Celine and Angela, in front of the Gusaling Lacson Building, so waiting wasn't really that bad since I had people to talk to. Too bad we're taking up different courses (Not that it's bad to have friends from a different college). So while waiting, we also encountered an incoming sophomore, she helped us adjust around the university and she also thought us the different terms used in the school such us "GC" which stands for Grade-Conscious. 

So at around 1:20 (Yes, filipino time), the student council officers gathered all the JO Applicants and luckily I made more friends like Berna, Melody, Jeanel, and more. I also bumped into two of my friends from Concordia which was cool since I barely see Concordians around PLM. 

When the orientation started, we introduced ourselves one by one and they told us what to expect of the screening that will occur in the following days. The SSC Officers also discussed the different projects that are being planned for the year, and more specifically the projects that will be expected in the coming Foundation Day which will be on the 18th up to the 21st of June. The most exciting part though was the interview part with Kuya Florante, the president of the university's supreme student council. He asked me questions such as, why did I choose Mass Communication, what can I contribute to the Student Council if ever I get accepted as Junior Officer, and the like. 

I tried to answer as smart and as good as I can. I really wanted to be a part of this. Not just for the experience, but also to increase my leadership skills and my interaction skills, which is what I really need as of now considering that I'm a Mass Communication Student. So pretty please with cherry on top. Pray for me guys! I'd really appreciate it. Thanksss!

PS. I've been really addicted to the stories made by HaveYouSeenThisGirl. Tried and tested. Loljk =))

PSII: Sorry for not making a post about the first orientation. Lol. The second one was more productive, tho. All I did in the first one was sleep. 'Twas boring. No offense.

I enrolled yesterday and got my class cards, my schedule, library card, and I also paid for my uniform already. One more month ‘til a new world starts. A new road to walk on. A new spotlight to make or mark on. A new obstacle to face. This thing people refer to as college. I don’t know if I’m excited or nervous. Excited because I’m taking up a course that suites my interests perfectly, and I’m taking it up at one of my dream schools. But nervous because it’s not high school anymore. It’s a completely new and different field. There are going to be new places and new people to adjust to.

A lot of my Concordian batch mates are also going to the same university as I am. One will even take up the same course as mine. I also had an encounter with one of them during the enrollment process yesterday. It’s really cool to know that a lot of your friends back in high school are going to be in the same shoes as yours. Only in a different design, but all in a same quality and size. It’s good to know that I can still walk by them along the campus or even share classes with one of them. College should be exciting.

I’m done reading the Hunger Games. It feels sad that the story’s over now. And I get that sad feeling while watching the movies when you already know what will happen. I also feel sad because two of my favorite characters in the story died, Finnick and Prim.

Next saturday we’re going back to Cavite to attend a family friend’s wedding. So then after the wedding I’m planning on hanging out with my friends from AUP since it’s been years since I’ve seen them. It’d be really nice to bond with them again.

Then on May 2 to 4 we’re gonna be at Boracay. But honestly I’m a lot more excited about the first day of school. It’s really awesome to think about college, how I’ll be a more independent person and how I’ll be more challenged with the pressure that comes with it. But I think the pressure wont be as hard to handle as it is on high school since I’m pretty sure that I’ll be enjoying what I’m gonna be doing for the next four years :D

But still there’s the enrollment process, social interactions and getting to know the place. But I think everything will be pretty much exciting and fun, the pressure aside. I’m sure that my other batch mates are as thrilled about college too as I am. But still, we'll never know.

I’ve been spending summer here in Manila since it started. Unless you count my visit in Binan, Laguna for a quick swim in Splash Island, which is definitely not fun for me since my period came in the middle of the day so I just stayed in our table the entire time.

I was at PLM again with my mom yesterday to submit some requirements and they made me answer this survey-like form. I thought it was pretty cool that I’m almost done with my enrollment. But it still surprises me though, that I’m done with high school and proceeding to college already.

So summer’s been really boring lately, since I got to spend most of my time just staying at home. It’s really boring especially when you think about the fact that this is my last summer before college and I was really expecting it to be an enjoyable one. Well, it will be enjoyable, though. By the end of april I’ll pretty much be occupied since we’ll be going to Cavite again to attend a wedding. Then by may we’ll be at Bora.

Speaking of being watched worldwide, my addiction to the Hunger Games trilogy still hasn’t stopped. I’m on the middle of Mocking Jay, which is sad for me. Since it’s almost ending. Oh well, I still have the movies to look forward to :) 

Summer’s been going well for me since our graduation. My grades got a lot higher than usual, I got a phone upgrade, I got the Hunger Games trilogy as one of my graduation gifts. I’ve been reading the books for a week now and it actually surprises me how fast I finished reading the first book, unlike Harry Potter in where it took me weeks or so. Now I’m in the middle of Catching Fire.

I also had a new phone upgrade, although I still haven’t had the chance to get used to it. But it seems that this phone and I are going to get well together in a week or less.

Oh, and just to inform you guys. I’ve been banned from blogging. But since I can’t put up with that, I guess I’ll just be a lot more careful with stuff I say whenever I blog. Or like, keep the super personal details to myself since this blog is being publicly seen by anyone, anyway. So I think it’s also better if we don’t get too personal with the blogging.
