happiness is just 11 units away
11 units nalang at magpapainom na 'ko. but now, in a world where social injustice is widespread and with my luck fleeting, these 11 units which were so fucking easy to get last time, remain elusive. grabe hits! nauubos na ang optimism ko ah. pati pera ko dahil panay lunch lang ang meron ako. this is so wrong.
wait lang, i just gotta share, ang PE ni Gabo ay... wait for it... TREASURE HUNTING!!! bakit eh??? pano 'ko malulungkot sa lagay ko (6 units palang me... why??) kung may mga tao sa kabilang side ng katipunan na nag PPE ng TREASURE HUNTING??? whoooooo!!!!! can i just say, iba talaga ang Miriam! holistic growth eh! why???
anyway, back to my problem. no one wants me! bakit eh? bakit wala akong maprerogan? ang mas maganda pang tanong diyan, bakit kasi kailangan ko pang magprerog? bakit wala akong subjects? bakit kulang ang inooffer sa UP? bakit??? anyway, never na masasagot yan kaya i'll just have to deal with the fucking system.
ito mga attempts ko to get subjects:
2nd day of registration (for students 04-05)
punta ko ng mga 10, eh ang kaso wala na, andaming tao, suko na me. all of my friends who've been manually enlisting subjects were all so smad (Ms. Caloocan's term meaning, sad and mad) about the whole registration thing so we decided to go to our happy place, McDo Katipunan (oo eh, bakit hindi nagggrow out of McDo Katip), where we spent almost 3 hours comparing our pathetic situations. pero as if hindi namin alam na wala na kaming mahihita, balik naman us sa UP at try ulit. ayun, obviously, hindi successful. i went home with nothing.
3rd day of registration (free-for-all)
pagdating ko sa UP ng 10, lunch ulit kami sa katipunan dahil 1 pa raw ang aking pre-advising (stupid me, didn't get preadvised which is why i don't have majors up to now). when i got back to PHAN, i lined up for late advising for thirty effing minutes. i finally got advised by Sir Mike (i swear, ang bait niya. parang ang pure ng kanyang soul, makes me want to believe that people are innately good, nagdrugs lang ng maaga ang karamihan). he told me not to take my elective yet, since it was obvious i wasn't decided. i appreciate that, he's not so concerned with my grades but with my interests. i like that in people. so ayan, nakapagpaadvise na 'ko. i went to the enlistment center (for lack of a better and less stupid term) to get my majors. ang kaso, late advisees will automatically have to prerog. so fly na me. wala na 'kong mahihita. tapos si jay suarez (God bless him) told me to get science electives and PI 100 so i could at least have something (at the time, i still had nothing. boo). i went to MSI to enlist for 101 (because MS 1 is so closed it's pointless and stupid to even ask), pero wala na. muntik ko pang malimutang magtanong about 102. but i did, and that my friends, was my first (and until late this afternoon, my only) subject.
First day of classes
i went to my first and only class for the day, MS 102. the prof is sooo nice and pleasant. i think i'm going to love her class. i saw ivy at the parking lot because she was supposed to prerog for some MS subject, so i told her to prerog in mine. she immediately got in. so i spread the word and now i've recruited 6 people. throughout the day i tried to prerog for the most obscure subjects UP offered. people were so supportive. i texted Chubby and when i saw her, she thought i was going to ask her to line up for something. she's the nicest, sweetest buddy there is. may shit pang nangyari sa pagpprerog ko and i don't want to talk about it. because it's to funny. my stupid mouth got in the way yet again. anyway, i got PI 100 from the most generous prof in the world (he took us all in, so 61 ang students niya sa pang 30 na klase). so now i have 6 units. but i'm really, honestly, happy about that. i mean, count your blessings nga naman. because of this whole ordeal, i felt like a lot of people were really concerned about me, siguro mas concerned pa nga sila kaysa sa 'kin. nakakatouch naman.
so i would like to dedicate this new skin (fresh from blogskins.com), new tagboard and most recent entry to the people who helped me, cheered me up and sent me jokes (shit eh, bakit kasi sa gitna ng busy registration may mga nagtetext ng jokes na mali).
Thanks to JB, Ivy, Corinna, Dada, Chubby, Jay, Jeejay, MC girls, Pugad, Mean Girls, TFs, my great family and to God, for the six absofuckinglutely fantastic units i got. :D
