End of my academic life

Yesterday marked the last day of my academic life. I just had my last class at Andrew, where I also had my first class in the university. It was slowly sinking in that my time in the university is about to run out. My last class, ENVISOC, ended with a manifesto delivered by our professor. It wasn't a synthesis of what we've learned, but a plea to use what we've learned to help the environment.

Why do I feel this way?

maybe I'm scared of what will happen after college? maybe I'm not satisfied with what I've learned so far? I mean I dunno, to stop studying after 17 years.. that's some transition. I guess other people don't find it difficult because they've already set their minds for an office setting, which I think is similar to a classroom setting (minus the learning from the mentor part). I guess it'll be more like projects and homework everyday. I know that I'm not following that track in life anyway, so why do I feel this way? I think its because of the time I went on LOA. I think that I'm scared that the same thing will happen to me..the idleness is unbearable. However, I'm gonna continue with trapeze. At least that's something to look forward to.

Although this transition may be scary for me, I believe that it is necessary. I know that learning never ends, but I don't want to stay in college forever. hopefully, I can get that research assistant job and maybe that would make things easier for me.

Also, I realized that one of my thesismates won't be graduating with us since he forgot to take a subject -__- (Persef3).

Student cuts

August 20, 2014

I had to be at the Trapeze rig by 2:30 pm. I left the house at 11:30 am for traffic allowance and also because I wanted to mow the lawn. When I arrived at the BGC bus station at Ayala, I decided that maybe I should avail of the Tap Card since I often commute to BGC anyways.

I paid 150 Php (100 for load, 50 for deposit) for the card. I get charged 9.80 Php as opposed to the standard rate of 12 Php (Student Discount).

They asked for my student ID to verify my identity as a student, and then they gave me my Tap card. Halfway through the bus ride I realized that the counter lady forgot to give me back my ID (or I forgot to ask it back). So, I had to take the bus back to the Ayala Terminal. The trip going back took me an hour. It was already 12:30 pm when I arrived at the terminal. After getting my ID, it took me 30mins to get to the rig. 

I was the first person to arrive at the rig. which wasn't surprising, since the call time is at 2:30 pm. So, I began mowing the lawn and cutting up the tall grass that was covering the lines. The only thing I didn't like about cutting the tall grass was that kuya Eduardo was scouting the spot where I was cutting the grass and he told me that he could hear a snake nearby. It scared me, but it gave me more reason to cut the grass. 

During our first class, I got a cut while assisting at the board. I probably got it from the clips, but this is the first time that it has happened to me. And it hurts.

Hey look its Tinkerbell in the background

After our last class, I headed to Bam bam's place since camile and gab were there hanging out (and I needed a ride home). We played cards against humanity (which was a pretty sick game) and they had some alcoholic drinks. I passed on drinking alcohol coz I recently just got wasted ( and I don't want to feel wasted anytime soon). Gab got so drunk that he actually asked me if I could drive his pick-up for him. 

Tinkerbell and Lucky fell asleep on my lap
