64 days before the much-awaited march

I had been sick for almost a week already. Stressed could be a better term. What's new anyway? I couldn't wait to march at the Philippine International Convention Center this April 4. But before that, I have to huddle last minute struggles which include my solo undergraduate thesis, teaching demonstrations in TESL and INTELL and insurmountable tasks in my well-loved organizations:TAMVOL, ELC, and Sandigan.

I have been missing writing a blog. The exact reason why I could not help but stole a few minutes while preparing for my research report for tomorrow. Yes, I have a report and [both] fortunately and unfortunately enough, English majors are tasked to do reporting in a research class which is supposed to be a writing laboratory.

Speaking of research, I could not say I am half way done. In fact, I am not finished yet with my data gathering. To be fair enough, I could say I am way contented with the meat of my RRL.

This coming February 9, English Language Circle will be sponsoring a national summit for English Language majors. The original Feb 2 sked has been moved to give us more time for preparation. Dr. Plata of DLSU-Department of Languages and Linguistics and Prof. madriaga of FEU-Center for English Language Studies have confirmed their presence already.

Meanwhile, FEU TAMVOL is still sponsoring a big project or two before the year ends. the proposal of the 1st FEU Youth Convergence for the Environment is already subjected to OSACS' scrutiny.

It's only 64 days before graduation. But before it even happens, I have my filled my schedule with leadership trainings (which we
organize) with the hope of leaving a legacy in the world of Tamaraw Student Leadership before I step out of its portal. I am way too happy that Sandigan members have been very efficient in handling the demands of their responsibilities all the entire academic year.

Weber Amorez (IV BS Architecture), a good friend of mine, will be leaving this Tuesday for the 10th Ayala Young Leaders Congress.

Bottomline: There's much to do, responsibilities to fulfill, and expectations to meet before that precious diploma (and medal/s, haha) be handed to me.
Nevertheless, I am ready to handle the pressure. :)
