There is always time for a blog entry. No matter how busy I claim to be. << [comment: My grammar needs work! Gah.]

I feel studious today for some reason. What that reason is, I’d rather not know.

But somehow, there’s still this nagging feeling of unrest as there was a year before, and the year before that. See entry: Waking up to Reality.

Our CS 197 class didn’t meet today, so it was already around 12:30 when I got to school for CS 150 class. I was a tad late. When I got to our usual classroom, lo and behold! Nobody was there.. It took me a while to locate where they had “migrated”, thus making me all the more later than I actually was.

Then more good news! Our class finished early! Or isn’t that good news? Our Wednesday session is supposed to end at 3:30PM, but we finished at around 2:00. Ehe.

Then I WENT TO THE LIBRARY.

I went around, trying to find the references I need for my current classes. Like I said, I’m feeling studious today. As I was heading over to the xerox counter with an overly thick “Introduction to Algorithms” book in my hands..

Dan: Mayee? Mayee, ikaw ba yan? May hawak kang libro?

Hahaha thanks, Dan. You made my day. Then fast forward to this moment, I have a pile of readings in front of me.. a bed that looks oh so temptingly comfy but nonetheless Mayee-free right now, and a piano that is silent! << Definitely signs of me being studious.

Now all I need is for this to go on til the end of the semester….. er, till graduation! then I’m safe.

You got three choices in life: be good, get good, or give up. –House M.D.

I’ve been busy these past few weeks. There’s the usual org stuff to do, there’s personal work, some other work on the sidelines.. and then you start to wonder where the hell the academics and school work went.

So I’ve been busy. What bugs me is that it’s not because of school work. I have no schoolwork to do yet! [well I do, actually, but as minimal as it can get]

Based on 3 years of experience, I have to conclude that this is not a good thing. Absence of something, anything that is usually constantly there is NEVER a good sign. So last Friday I headed to the Library and did my best to get a hold of all the books I need to hit before the hellweeks kick in. [yes, I did say THE LIBRARY. Amazingly, I didn’t spontaneously combust as soon as I stepped into the “hallowed ground”]

I cannot believe I went to Glorietta 4 and saw a movie with a thick hardbound Artificial Intelligence book in my arms. Define “the geek look”. Ha Ha.

Woke up a little later than I would’ve wanted, since I stayed up late last night working on some stuff. And as I was dashing through the pre-commute ritual [shower, clothes, glass of milk], I realized something — the shower is a twilight zone. I step in there, thinking I’m taking a bath as fast as I can [just periodically snapping out of some weird trance and finding that I’m staring blankly at the shower head]. As soon as I enter my room I check the clock. Egad! It’s almost a half an hour since I went in the shower.

To make a long story short, while just adding that traffic along South Super Highway is unbelievably torturous at noon, I arrived at the CS building late for my class. Thank goodness when I got to our classroom, there was a note posted on the door saying we’d be starting the class an hour late today. Yipee.

After that class, I headed to our tambayan. You would’ve been able to pick me out effortlessly in the crowded Engineering building because I was wearing blue. Everybody else was in orange because of the Homecoming Parade. I didn’t think our class would be finishing early enough for me to join the parade so I didn’t bother sporting a color I couldn’t detest less as wardrobe. I was forced to buy an Engg-O Week shirt for 150 pesos [Gah].

Then after spending less than 5 minutes with my orgmates lined up for the parade, Patrick texted me that our EEE class was not cancelled, despite announcements from the profs at Eng’g that there were no classes anymore precisely because of the parade. So with nothing but my cellphones, and my USB flash drive in the small pouch that I carry around, I dashed with my orgmate, Josh, to the EEE building [which is quite far from Eng’g].

I did enjoy our first EEE8 lab class though. We were made to make an LED blink, given a Bread Board [or Proto Board], resistors, a capacitor, an IC, etc [etc because I can’t remember everything exactly. haha]. But yes! We finished before everybody else. Salamat sa kaadikan ni Patrick at ni Rab, my groupmates. On the first test, we got the blink! It was fuuuuun. :))

Then we headed back to Eng’g, hopeful that we would still make it to the parade. We didn’t. We went to the tambayan instead. After around an hour or so of tambay, I went with Ate Kris, Pepoy [special guest!] and the other UP ARISE execom to Flaming Wings, Katipunan for dinner, and supposedly pre-planningsem bonding. I was glad to meet some new people, people I’d be working with for this year. Add that to my already intense excitement for this year to move forward already [right now it’s feeling like June is looooooongest month ever, and this week the longest week]. Sadly I wasn’t able to join the actual plansem because I still had to go home.

Aaaanyway. Tomorrow is a Saturday, and it being Saturday means that I still have classes, and not an actual weekend like the rest of the normal human race. But all’s good since tomorrow is..

UP CURSOR’S SILVER YEAR KICK-OFF!
Kite Flying Contest!
Potluck Picnic!
Lots and Lots of Fuuuun!

Complaints and Comments June 12, 2008

Tuesdays and Thursdays

For the coming semester, I have been guaranteed that my Tuesdays and Thursdays will, at some point, stink. Let me blame partly the fact that my classes would start at 7:30 in the morning, [the time of morning I would usually be still in bed], also partly to that 7:30 AM class’ teacher who has intolerance for tardiness and who would be locking doors 10 minutes into the class. Gad. Good luck to me. Lastly, a large part of blame also goes to my almost-5-hour freaking break. 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM. If only I had a wireless landline, I could go on marketing galore and that way fulfill my duties. But I don’t think that’s gonna happen. So I pray to high heavens my phone bill doesn’t bail out on me. Owkay.

Wednesdays and Fridays

My Wednesdays [and part of my fridays] are relatively tolerable compared to my TTh Schedule. I only have a 1-hour lunch break inbetween the two classes I have for that day. Plus, I get off at 3:30 PM, which is good! Sad thing though, on Fridays I have a lab class from 4-7 in the evening. Goodbye to early friday night-gimmicks. Gah.

On other matters

I’m feeling quite old [though I’m not really]. I’m already a senior. Another batch of freshmen has entered the University. I got away with having the “kids” not call me “Ate Mayee” before. But now the age gap is already overwhelming. [heeeey, 18 lang ako. haha.] But I love G12 and G13, the CS freshie blocks we’re handling. They’re bibbo! :) I talked to them a little about CS life [while the block facis were (more…)

A new voice is discovered.

A new world. A new reality.

Everybody’s blogging about how school’s gonna be starting again, and I shall not be one of them. I refuse to give in to this itching urge to promise myself an extraordinary performance in my academics, the “giving all I can” speech once again. Nope, this time, if I don’t make any promises at all, then there’d be nothing to break when all goes wrong, and I won’t be disheartened that yet again I failed to keep my word.

On a different note: I apologize, dear readers, if almost every single one of my entries lately has a link [except for this one, because that link is totally worth visiting if you’re a cynical soul]. It’s paying off, at the very least, and for that solely I am glad. Every good thing DOES have a price.

State of Imbroglio June 6, 2008

Posted by Mayee in : Daily Babble , add a comment

I once did an essay for my English class and entitled it “Internal Imbroglio.” It was about me going out to a shopping mall and deciding on what kind of music I like, what clothes I should buy.. even who I should go with. It was basically me arguing with myself over what things I like better, determining my real personality.

But nothing can compare to whatever I’m feeling right now. There is nothing more messed-up than this state of confusion I’m in. Again, “confusion” is the word I use when I fail to think of any other word to describe these pangs of, like I said, “confusion.” I think some feelings of hurt are settling in which are honestly very long overdue. Along which, we have hatred, loss, feelings of denial, and a recurring inferiority complex.

You know what I RE-HEAALLY want to do right now? What I’ve wanted to do for the past few weeks?

I want to own up to whatever it is I should be owning up to. The quickest way to end all this confusion is to zero in on what I really really want to happen, and just concentrate on that little thing. Honesty. But then again, the quickest isn’t always the easiest. The only underlying hurdle is that the “zero in” part is as good as solving everything right there and then.

You see, I don’t KNOW what I want.

Today’s buzz: cruise deals for affordable prices. << These are the sort of things that usually add to “internal imbroglio”. It’s all you need. A couple of days by yourself, alone with your thoughts.. you’d be a mess by the end of it instead of relaxed. Unless you had somebody with you. Only then can one claim ESCAPE.
