The CSB Experience 2: The First Day

     The first day of classes is the exact opposite of what I had last year: NOISY! Apart from the frosh people swarming the campus in circles, left-to-right, go-in-between; the Green Peppers welcmed the first day with a warm welcome cheer.

    My first class is HARTDS1, a three-hour class every Wednesday in SDA Bldg.. My prof there is nice but she musn’t be provoked by a noisy class. DV1 classmates are Inna, Gens, Nikko, Mikee, Carlo, and Gilbert plus some ex-classmates from PETRIID and COMSK2x . We were grouped into three and I ended up with Genesis and a Korean classmate named Hyun-Ho.

    C-Break came, and there goes a sense of dejavu: Frosh people crowding them in front of the LRC chatting with newly-met blockmates and everything.I spent my 2 and a half hour break sleeping inside a hut at Plaza V aka Bora. I left Main for SDA around quarter to 2.

    Next in line was JoseRiz and was surprised to see Tina (Tiz), Czarlene (Ciz), and Sheena plus Franzi (Frenzy).

    After that I hurriedly went down back in Main for Oralcom…2 ex-classmates from Filip are there: Ronald and Chona with Franzi, Tiz, Ciz, and Jiz (Jisney) plus Hoogie.

    Hoogie and I went to SDA for our last subject: Basicom (Mr. San Diego’s lessons relearned). Just as I was entering the elevator from the ground floor up, I didn’t seem to notice Hoogie and disappeared (He mwould reappear at around 6 pm).

    I opened the door of the classroom and the first person I saw (and she was looking at me) was none other than BIANCA KING!! AGHHH! AND I SEATED RIGHT NEXT TO HER!!

    To make the long story short: She, Hoogie and I formed a group for a 4-part project in Basicom! Cool! “Masipag ka ba?” “Medyo”

    Never mind if it was raining outside, never mind if from now on I’ll be paying my jeep fare expensive by 2 quarter pesos. For all I care, I have the best day ever!

   

The CSB Experience 2: Handa para sa Pasukan

    Ilang araw na lang, pasukan na! Excited na ako sobra kung kaya habang maaga pa lang eh hinahanda ko na sarili ko.

    Bumili ako ng bagong bag at bagong notebook. Ayoko na gamitin iyung luma kong bag kasi 1)magtu-two and a half years na siya at medyo nalalakihan ako sa bag na yon, at 2) Hirap linisin. Iyung baili ko namang notebok actually mga Cattleya fillers sila compiled in one book, one for every subject na kukunin ko. Hindi na ako bibili ng malaking notebook kasi kumakain siya sa space sa bag ko at maraming empty pages ang natitira afer one term so sayang talaga.

    Pangalawang paghahanda: Paggugupit….Nung sabado nagpagupit na ako kahit nagbabadya ang bagyo. Bukod dun pinaahit ko na rin ung bigote ko…matagal-tagal na rin nung huling beses na inahit ko ito nung third year. Kagustuhan na rin ng mga taong nakapligid sa’kin sa school na iahit ko na ito so pinagbigyan ko na sila although hindi ko muna padadalasin ang pagaahit, na-iinsecure ata ako sa bigote ko eh…

    Malapit na uli ang pasukan sa kitakits na lang!

The Summer Experience: As Summer Ends, So Does Bmat2-x (Muntik nang ma-R!)

    Thank goodness, after several weeks trying to learn topics from Simple Interest to Sinking Funds, I’d be able to finally give closure to BMAT2-x. But why oh why must I forgot all what I’ve learned in this very important finals test! If not for having half of the total number of items correct in the finals I wouldn’t have made a grade of 1 which is one point away from incurring an R (whcih means I failed and I have to repeat it, hence the “R”).

    At least that’s for BMAT2-x which makes up 70% of my grade. I got to know what my grade in Lab earlier, a 1 too (73 at least).

    Tomorrow is judgement day, be getting my course card to see if I make it…

The Summer Experience: Where We Leave, They Enter (The Froshes of 108 Story)

    Waghh! It’s that time of the year now wherein I see a lot of incoming froshes coming into CSB with (and without) their parents and guardians, circling around the campus, swarming every corner, confused, and not knowing a thing of getting their way around. What’s worse is that: IT”S NOT US!

    Waghhh! With the onset of the peak enrollment season, I realized that “Hey! I’m a college sophomore!” and so does the rest of my 107 people. But then again, it’s better that way than being held back for one totally long year.

    Like they say, “When it rains it pours”….literally! MAY showers suddenly poured on the day of the enrollment for froshes and it has been like that for almost 2 weeks now (in an inconsistent kind of way).

    Tomorrow, I’ll be in school to have myself enrolled for the upcoming school year which will start on the 21st. Thank goodness there’s no tuition fee increase or else, my insurance will bleed out dry. Speaking of insurance, no thanks for the people behind my educational plan and for the fact that CSB’s a trimestral school, my mom is going tom pay for my tuition via check. Good thing, we’ll be paid by the insurance company hwegh heheh!

    Oh yeah! Speaking of tomorrow, next week will be my last week in BMAT summer class up until the 16th. I sure learned a lot from Simple Interest to Ammortization. Next week, our last lesson would be about Sinking Funds.

    Back to the topic, I see  many of the froshes haven’t had their orientations yet so good luck for them and I hope they’d be able not to encounter the problems that many of us 107 experienced. Most especially, for us 107 MMA people who really had it bigtime with the people from the way up (Think MMA Y! Groups scandal).

    Although common problems like “I don’t know this?”, “What should we do?”, “Can you do this for us?”, “Eeww!”, etc. would still be around; I hope many of the 108 people would well-aware of what they’ll encounter next school year.

SEE YOU GUYS IN LESS THAN 12 DAYS!
