keeping me busy


It's barely a week before the start of another semester. i just though that it would be nice to revisit some of the noteworthy events that pre-occupied my first semester (not to mention, even my semester break) schedule.

1. I received another GWA not enough to qualify me for a full scholarship. depressing.
- My mentor in Sociolinguistic gave me the lowest mark (1.75). i'm totally clueless of how my grade was computed.
- I was glad receiving flat marks in Peace Education and Structure of the Filipino Language (though I honestly expected it)
- I was even happier receivIng another flat mark in Afro-Asian Literature. Sir Solmerano must have been impressed with my final exam. - i was sad with my FG in Structure of English (**** it! i should have reviewed for the FX). wasted remark (PG=1.00; MG=1.25; FG=1.5). call it inconsisency!

2. We started working for the Paragon's maiden issue.
- Yes, in fact, I can say that we already completed approximately a quarter of the total work.
- still searching for possible publishers. thanks to FEU Publications Office for the lay-out support
- I'm happy with my hardworking staff. keep it up, guys! - still working for the sponsorship and advertisements.

3. I attended the English camp
- call it a break (haha, still a hyperbole!)
- i'm glad hearing the speeches from Prof. Yvonne Chua of UP-Journalism (Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism) regarding blogging and journaling as well as from Manuel L. Quezon III about youth's voice and responsibilities. truly enlightening!
- special mention to Vincent (of Accountability and Transparency Network) for his substantive tirade.
- i'm happy people appreciated my privilege speech during the youth talk show night. highly appreciated.
- get closer with FEU peeps (Aran, Euf, Nicky, Juliet, Robert, and others) and develop friendship with students from other schools (Ina, Lily, Agatha and others). - i'm starting to miss Nosebleed Group (Cluster I). we're the best!
- had to leave early on the last day for the scrabble championship

4. We joined the National Students Scrabble Championship 2006
- We were totally not informed about the word reference.
-We won 3 out of 18 rounds despite our apparent handicap.
- Ateneo backed out the tourney for the reason already stated.
- Still can't appreciate SOWPODS.
