Finally my first week in college has passed. It’s sad though because we’re about to get serious with lessons and such starting next week. I can’t believe it. It was only orientation week and I’m so freakin’ tired already. I’ve never walked from the farthest end of a building up to the other wing or another building and back. I think I’m mostly tired from all the walking and in heels nonetheless. HAHA. My heels aren’t even that high and pointed but damn it feels like torture. LOL. Anyway we can wear flats too so I think I’ll buy one as an alternative. Things went well during the first four days. I think my blockmates are nice and friendly. So far I haven’t seen nor felt anything negative about them…yet. My professors aren’t so bad either. Good thing I don’t really suffer from nervous breakdown or I’ll be dead for this semester. I hope I’ll be able to handle pressure. In my E-101 class (com skills) we’re supposed to have this free talk every meeting. Our prof is going to show a quote and pick a random student to give an impromptu speech about the quote. Great. Just great. Then our H-101 class (history) has this current events reporting every tuesday and we’re supposed to gather news and report one by one in class. We did that before when I was in grade school. Not such a bad thing. And the hardest of all is my gen psych class. I think that this time I’ll really have to do advance reading. Our prof said that every meeting is graded recitation day. (Great. Just what I needed to make me even more anxious) So we have this class card and he’s gonna shuffle it and pick one and ask the person a question. An upperclassman warned me beforehand that he’s nice but he likes to give graded recitation all the time. At least I wasn’t surprised when he announced that. But dang our psych book costs about 1000 and it looks just like an encyclopedia. Mind you that’s only an introduction to psychology. On a positive note I am rest assured that I’m in a good department. Our prof is a graduate of Ateneo…so…yeah! It’s like getting the same quality education from my dream school. Things are gonna be hard I can tell and when I get too jaded and down I’ll just think that the words Stanford university is flashing before my eyes. HAHA that’ll definitely keep me motivated.
So I inquired about the Nihongo lessons from our school’s language center and they said that it costs Php6000 for 36 hours. My grandma said it’s not that expensive. But money isn’t really the problem. I’ll have to wait and get used to my schedule and lessons before I take extra load. Anyway I won’t be alone since my friend is going to take lessons with me.
Today is Friday and every Friday we have a 3 hour beak after our second class. The cafeteria is always crowded with people so we agreed to go to Eastwood City instead and eat there. We hanged out for an hour and a half and then went back to school. It was fun. I make an effort to come with my new blockmates so I can become good friends with them.
