paid off

finally, the first semester of my third year in college has OFFICIALLY ended with my grades all encoded. it was definitely a long one for me personally. trying to balance a lot of things wasn't at all easy. i had to work my butt off in order to survive this semester. but hey, sometimes things just really pay off. God has His ways of affirming our actions in the end.

well, here are some of my thoughts/memories fr0m the semester that was.

1. taking 16 units was not necessarily easier than taking 18 or 19 units. with stat 131 in the mix, everything changes.

2. 7am classes = sleepy time. not because of the prof. but because of my body clock. couldn't really adjust it so that i could be more awake during my 7am class.

3. aircon = doom. in 2 of my 3 non-stat classes, the rooms were airconditioned. boy, those definitely made me sleepy too. therefore, in all of my non-stat subjects, you'd often see me yawning or pinching myself trying my best to stay awake.

4. 10am stat classes everyday. 131 and 135. good schedule :)

5. stat 131 classes were supposed to be from 10-12 during Wed/Fri. in reality, its 1045-12. :)

6. had a great time with the council. all of us were technically adjusting in the early part of the sem but got our groove activity after activity.

7. STAT IT UP, Stat Amazing Race, 5ignal No. 5! and many more... UPSSSC activities were just a joy to organize.

8. masyadong mabait as a chair. will work on it this semester.

9. nakakahiya, may 68% kaming PS sa stat 131. hehe. our group then were really busy. deadline was a few hours before STAT IT UP. good thing it was moved 2 days after. but still, we couldn't answer. it was too much for us. haha.

10. 3 hour breaks - TTh. 4 hour breaks - WF. ended up bumming at the tambayan and eating lunch with my breakmates casey, han, tina and mikko. nagsolo kasi si mic at gege. :P

11. because of those long breaks, we ended up eating in a long list of dining places in UP. LB, LKB, Cucina ni Mamangs, Treehouse, Tea Room, Mcdo, Jolibee, Flaming Wings, Chowking, Friuli and of course, STARBACK. hehe.

12. first time to spend a lot hours at the Stat Lib. most of the time it wasn't enough. ended up studying at the Mainlib. one time we left the Mainlib at 10 pm na! and before a final exam, i spent time at the Mainlib 6 hours before the exam. beat that. all these because of Stat 131.

13. went to school to meet up with friends for group study. wow. haha. ended up studying at a coffee shop in katips. all afternoon.

14. meetings with the council were sometimes sabaw. sometimes naman light. :)

15. champions of Stat Basketball = Juniors!!!

16. birthday ko = benta. puro banana. finally brought my friends over at my place. super enjoy. hehe. wala nga lang inuman na hinahanap nila. haha.

17. CWTS movie, benta din. haha

18. went to banapple around 5 times. :))

19. driver pa rin ako. freed up my 1-230 schedule so that i could fetch luis occasionally. hay.

20. RHP - > BWI - > BWITD. thanks to mikko. haha.

21. di na natuloy tagaytay trip ng BWITD. :(

22. all the stress paid off after my grades appeared. 1.375 GWA. good for U.S.

again, it was definitely a long semester. all the ups and oh so many downs really made this semester unforgettable. whew.

thank God. :) thank you friends (specially tina pards at naging masipag kayo this sem. sobrang nagrub off sa buong barkada) salamat sa council at you guys always give me a reason to be pro-active. thank you sir wendz and maam cherry, 2 consecutive sems ko na kayo profs at you gave me the grades that i deserve. thank you GE/Elective profs at lahat kayo very considerate. as if mababasa ninyo to.

i'm off to another LONG semester. let's get it on.
