I’m already highlighting my ass off. I know I know I might have posted several things regarding a certain shifting of degrees, but, long story short, it’s not going to happen anymore - due to several reasons. One of which, Emmanuel Lévinas, right at this very moment, is trying to explain to me through his work “On Escape”.
But, cutting to the chase, several things have come to my attention ever since I landed in my home country and these I shall present in bullet points as an impartial list of sorts (I doubt I can still remember):
- I’ve gained right about 15 lbs while I was away. MOTHERFUUUU- Several people can attest to this.
- I don’t get how other people can wear cardigans and jackets in the kind of climate we have in Manila. People, it’s friggin’ 30 degrees Celsius.
- My old cabinet smells like a grandmother’s cabinet.
- I might have left my favorite sandals which I bought from Lefties in my piso in Spain. For this, I think I’ll have to ask them to bring it over through LBC. I hope it’s there though. Or better yet, it’s just here somewhere in my suitcase.
- Did I mention I gained weight?
- BUT ON TO THE GOOD NEWS: I’m getting a new laptop!!! But I’ll be paying for it with my own money. BOO!!! At least I’m getting my aunt to sponsor original internet-security and Microsoft Office software.
- All these being said, I’d just like to say school is being such a pain the in the ass, specifically Leadership and Strategy 100 and Operations Research. The second one is inherently hard and has always been. This, I can live with. But the latter is such a hassle because our professor makes us do these group tasks and after which, chooses a team and grills them in front of a one-man panel and the rest of the class. Even more, one member of the losing team will get an F and this member is generally decided upon after a session of a Big-Brother/Jerry Spinger-esque confrontation in the classroom. It’s fun to watch, I must say. But still, a hassle.
- All my classmates have already started applying for internships and I haven’t. I should probably get to that now. Or after I finish reading Lévinas with whom I can totally relate right now in light of my recent almost-shifting-out-of-my-degree-and-then-deciding-to-come-back-the-night-I-arrived-in-Manila fiasco. But more on this some other time.
