Why, oh why do I have to get a really crappy random number for picking out classes and schedules this time my Junior year?! It was insane. Call time was 1:40, and I finally ended up with the final list of classes 3 hours after – a far cry from minutes of enlistment from previous sems. I went through hell and back just to fight for a good sched. Fortunately, I was probably one of the luckiest in my block to get a decent sched with great teachers. The only perks of being one of the last few ones, and dearest Earl as the person who helped me enlist was that I ended up having closed classes for Philo and a conflicting Arcilla History class with my PolSci major. Because of that, I had to be ‘buffered.’ That meant calling up departments so that I may be considered for other classes. The best part? I got to pick my desired classes and have a good schedule at the end. Of course, I had to go back and forth, endure the long lines, and pray tirelessly to get the slots I wanted. My other blockmates are probably suffering the straight T-Th only scheds. The possibility of having long weekends does sound tempting, but I just couldn’t handle break-less, six, hour and a half long classes. I will lose my sanity. At the end of the day, I was just really happy that I got good teachers. Or so I hope. I’m actually looking forward to go to school now. Onwards to probably my hardest sem yet.

Before my hellish reg, I got another chance to perform a short stint for BlueRep during the OrgTalks for the incoming Freshmen of the Ateneo. It was super fun and hilarious! We did We Dance from Once In This Island, and a comedic number of the intro of Seasons of Love from Rent. Picture c/o Shari. (Haha. Try to spot me!)

After what seemed like the enlistment of a lifetime, I was beyond exhausted. The exhaustion carried on until I was dropped to Glorietta for one of my closest guy friend, Dan’s birthday celebration at CPK, which according to Dani is such a ‘CSA place to dine.’ Once again, another reunion with people from my high school 4D class. The best part of the night was the chance to have long heart-to-hearts with my 2nd year HS certified shrink, Cel! We don’t usually talk a lot, but the rare times we do, prove to be treasured conversations. I think we leave each other inspired and rejuvenated. I believe if you’ve found a person that makes you feel this way, I say he or she is a keeper. Thank you so much, Cel for being that kind of friend. I love you! Here’s a shot with most of Dan’s guests!

Oh, and I finally got my hands on the photos from our recent photoshoot (refer to last entry). Beautiful shots with some of my best friends. Here are a few of my favorites:

The first one was our attempt to be all angas and ghetto. Hahaha. The funny part was that we didn’t talk about our paired-up same colored jackets! The last two shots are also my favorites because we all look so good in white! Haha. And the last one just makes me smile every time! I love my friends.
