Mood: rather passive due to shock
Listening to: Mas Que Nada by Sergio Mendes feat. B.E.P
Wow! I never thought I'd say this but, I LOVE COLLEGE! See? I'm eating up the words I said two months earlier about being pessimistic on my first day but I definitely got ahead of myself and said a few things and what-not. My classes started yesterday and I got up around 4 in the morning just to get dressed. At first, I wasn't really sure if I'll enjoy myself or jump off a cliff later that day but it was okay. I arrived at MaDocs around 6:20 and after 10 minutes of standing outside, Cha suddenly arrived out of nowhere; 30 minutes after that Ayin arrived. We stood outside for a long time and around 7:20, the welcome ceremony started. The student body recited the "Challenge to Excel" as part of the programme and there was an interpretative dance performance. Then, we proceeded to the Atrium for the Morning Prayer and the Flag Ceremony. A few welcome speeches after that and we're off to our classes.
By the way, I belong to BSN 1-1 (translation: Bachelor of Science in Nursing 1, Block 1). Our first period was Algebra with Mr. Macaspac and boy was I TOO shocked to even catch my breath. He started the class by asking us who can prove that 1 plus 1 is equal to 1. When no one could answer it, he gave us a word problem and told us to prove the former on our next meeting. Next was Logic, but the professor didn't come to class. After that, we had Filipino I. My first impression on our professor, Mr. Odal was that he's a 'terror-teacher'. But in the end, we found out that he was just TOO strict, but not that horrible. He introduced himself to us, and in turn he encouraged us to introduce ourselves to him and to the class. It was great fun hearing what others have to say about themselves and it really broke the ice. NSTP was up next, but our professor only explained some things about the course subject and gave us a homework.
Then it was BREAK time. I went to Blue Wave for lunch with Rosel and Ronnie. It was a really hot Wednesday noon and we walked from school to the place. I went home with a bit of swollen toe fingers. Last period was English and it just didn't satisfy me half as much as the other classes did. It was probably because I wanted to go home so much that I was only half listening.
It was a great day though. I've met loads of people! As of now, I've met loads of great people namely: Rosel (Rovie), Ronnie, Jamie, Lilibeth, Gina, Carla, Rozel, Rhea, Valerie, Kara, Anne, Jojo, Shen, Joy and Donna from my block, John, Daniel, Claudia and Celine from Block 26, Michelle who coincidentally was my former batchmates close friend and so on.
Earlier this day, I met John from Block 26 and just laughed with the way got to know each other. This is where it started: I went to SM Mall of Asia with my friend, Donna. We were suppose to go Ice Skating but I lost interest in it so we just window-shopped and ate lunch. I also bought rice cakes for my mom (Aww! How sweet!). After that, I went back to MaDocs and went inside. I got so irritated with my bag that I sat at the floor before turning the corner. Then, I met John. He asked me if I was a freshman and I said yes. He then asked me to what block do I belong and I said: Block 1, and he was like, "Seriously? As in one?". And I said yes. He then asked me of other things and so on and introduced me to his blockmates. Before leaving, he asked if I was a scholar and I said no. He probably doesn't believe me (hehe!). As I waved goodbye, he called out to me saying, "See you some other time, okay?" and then I left. I went to the library to get another research on my Algebra homework and around 2:30, my dad fetched me and I was just so freakin' tired. I entered into a deep stupor...
