The usual buzz and hype brought about by the start of school is nowhere to be found, and has been replaced by the immediate scheduling of all my other work. Amazing how I seemed to express that so loosely. It seems as if I have to juggle rehearsals, Aegis work, COA meetings and the occasional PolSci concerns everyday recently. Even before rehearsals started, I was already occupied with Congress work and really late COA meetings afterwards.

That generally sums up most of my summer. And if not for the first 3 weeks of Singapore, Formsem and Camiguin, I wouldn’t even have a taste of that sweet indulgence I clearly deserved after the hell that is Junior year, second sem.

I wouldn’t want to think that it wasn’t fun at all. The stress, pressure and exhaustion are prices to pay for one of the more fulfilling, productive and inspiring moments of my entire college life. Since day 1, it has been a continuous learning experience. Besides, I just simply love what I do.

Come this school year, my 15 units will be a constant priority. I have my goals and I will do what I can to live up to my personal expectations. I don’t regret forgoing my minor and just sticking with my original curriculum of 15 units. I like my light schedule. As for the academic workload, I have yet to find out. Safe to say, I’m already excited. I mean I’ve been so mentally, emotionally and physically worked out the entire summer that I’ll just take the 15 units as a POSITIVE additional baggage. I know it’s cliche but it really is just a matter of strategic prioritizing and time management. Besides, I like school. haha.

My legs hurt from choreography rehearsals yesterday. But our choreographer, Mian is doing a great job. The choreography is just so cute. It’s truly going to be a challenge doing our choreography with our harmonies. But I’m quite excited. First three weekends of July, people. You guys have to watch. Will post more details about this as the days go by.
