Hodge Podge II: This Piece of Writing

Midterm was officially over having taken my last set of exams yesterday. That would not mean any relief though with the heavy requirements due this final term (21/24): full-blown translation project in translation studies, stage production in English registers/ language and the performing arts, portfolio in Mythology, LPs + portfolio in ACT, newspaper in Journalism and some minor (which seemed to be major) requirements in these courses.

Right now, I feel like I am being passive already in my organizations esp. ELC. I don’t want to take the reason it being a response to the demand of my academics because that would just mean that I have not improved on my time management. (I know I did!). Our free language assistance has not been moving yet.

Speaking of time management, I finally decided to live in a flat near campus. It’s fun being independent though I have been missing my family since (haha, the cheesy in me!).

Ateneo won over La Salle last Sunday. As a result, Ms. Mau was wearing blue the following day. See the connection? As of the moment, I still don’t know what to choose among UP, Ateneo, and La Salle for my master studies in Applied Linguistics or ELT. To weigh things, UP is a lot nearer to my residence. Ateneo is not that far though. La Salle can be tolerable. UP and La Salle are equal in Linguistic Studies (as I believe). La Salle and Ateneo have better facilities for instruction. Ateneo’s turf is Literature over Linguistics. I have always wanted to be a UPian. Whatever.

Whichever school I choose in the future, one thing is for sure: I’ll be a teacher, the noblest of all professions.

I watched the important FEU-NU game last Saturday. (with a stress on ‘important’). I was with Cath, and classmates Davis and Beverly. It was my first time to watch a game against the National University. To my surprise, I see a pack of FEU reliance team behind me. We were seated in Upper A. We won, anyway.

I finished crafting proposal for the First English Language Student Conference in the Philippines. I will have it consulted to the directress of FEU Center for English Language Studies, Ms. E and to Sir Bong, our ELC adviser before the week flies. We hope to have it conducted this first semester. I am wishful BSEd English can help us roll out the project since we will be including pedagogy together with linguistic and language studies.

I already have a hand to a ticket for the UAAP Cheering Competition 2007 at the Araneta. I am not sure though if I will be able to watch the game since 15 to 17 is the scheduled FEU IAS teambuilding in Caliraya. I may not be there but still, I have high hopes for our squad. I know they [we] can do it. I am confident. =)

Time passes quickly. Before I knew it, I am already leaving the University. I know I am not yet ready to leave each piece of FEU which has been so attached to me, my being. Positively, this exact frame of mind motivates me to enjoy every single day of my remaining University Life. (another cheesy in me!). #
