RED now. still GREEN.

(June 15, 2009: 10:06am)

I am now a legitimate law student. :D Well, who cares by the way? Haha. Sa mga nakakaalam, my school of choice is San Beda (RED) and I took up my pre-law course - Political Science - at DLSU-D (GREEN). So why am I saying that I am now RED but still GREEN? Hmm.

THE PRESSURED ME.

DORM LIFE. Yesterday (June 14, 2009), I moved in my beloved "bulilit" space at La Casarita Condominiums,San Miguel Manila. Form the first time in my life, wala na ko sa saya at pundiyo ng mga magulang ko. Haha.Seriously, I want bits of independence (though my parents weren't mahigpit naman) in my life. And now, I'm getting loads of it. Hahaha. I pray (at sana ipa-pray niyo din) na sana maka-survive ako sa dorm life ko. Haha. 4years din akong ganito for sure.

BEDA LIFE. "Hindi na 'yan katulad ng PolSci lang", yan ang palaging sinasabi ng college professors ko a couple ofyears ago. And I believe them. I am feeling it. Haha. Later, I will be having my class orientation and tomorrow,'yung General Orientation na. Eto yung isang event na iniintay ko para ma-broaden ang horizons ko about thelaw profession and to know the things that I should do to keep up with the phase. College of Law may be hard, but I AM UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

RETENTION POLICY. Sa mga nakakaalam, alam nio na!! Hahaha. Mahigpit ang Beda (and other universities for that matter), but I am determined that I will finish College of Law at San Beda in four years. That's the spirit Oeh! Keep it up. (Nabaliw??)

BUDGET. Dahil first time ko mag-dorm, first time din akong mag-budget bg pera ko. When I was in college kasi, binibigyan ako ng pera araw-araw. Ngayon, weekly na and I'm afraid na baka biglang magkulang dahil bili ako ng bili ng kung ano-ano lang. Although may atm naman, ayoko pa rin naman mag-over budget. Nahihiya na nga ko sa parents ko eh dahil sa dami ng expenses. Hahaha. (Nahiya daw ako kunwari.) The key to it? Discipline. Wish I can. Pray for me! :P

EXPECTATIONS.

Recitations/Quizzes on the first day of meeting (majority of the subjects).
Umiikot na mata ng professors (a bit exaggerated).
I am the president of the blah blah blah (ine-expect ko to ko classmates ko. Haha).
Umaraw man o umulan, mainit pa din.
RALLIES. Malamang nasa Mendiola ako eh. Haha. (No to CON-ASS!).
No lovelife. Let's see. :P

TARGETS

ESTABLISH CONTACTS. I hope to meet a lot of people and establish ties with them. 'Yun lang. Para madameng friends. Para madaling magkatrabaho. Hehe. At para magkaron ng madameng kliyente.

DEAN'S LIST. Oo, parangap ko to! Iba kasi pag dean's lister ka ng College of Law sa ordinary college degree lang. Of course, I was happy and proud nung nasa PolSci days pa lang ako. But I'd be happier and more proud if I can make it here. **cross fingers.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

STUDY. Read. Research. Digest. Think. Infer. Investigate. Read. Read. Read.

ESTABLISH A LOW PROFILE. Hindi ako magaling. Kunwari lang! Haha.

IF MY PROFESSOR TELLS ME TO READ ONE HUNDRED PAGES AND TEN CASES, I'LL READ ONE HUNDRED FIFTY PAGES AND TWENTY CASES. Joke lang to. Baka hindi ko mapanindigan eh. Hahaha.

RED now, still GREEN. I will be having Bedan education but the LASALLIAN EDUCATION stays. The Lasallian in me stays. The values are instilled. I am GREEEEEN.
I am a Christmas tree (red and green). Corny.
