My second post of the day - My first post ever
Recently, I've been obsessively browsing blogs of people who have gone through freshman year in UP. I know- my excitement is really more like an addiction to the concept of being a university student. It's a step away from being pathetic.
Speaking of pathetic! For purposes of embarrassing myself, have an excerpt from my first post on LJ. I was ( Read more... ) -
I'm too excited
I'm too excited about too many things right now!
...
Okay, maybe just two things.
For the past five days, I've probably been the only person in college who has been eagerly counting down the days until summer ends. Mostly because I am dying to start my dorm + UP adventure, and finally see for myself what my brain and not-so-Zen patience can do out in ( Read more... ) -
LET ME GO, CSB, GOSH.
I'm getting really frustrated with all the filing and paying and fixing I still have to do at CSB. I'm starting to feel like they are sabatoging my Ultimate Departure by holding back the paperwork and instructing the accounting and registrar people to be extra slow and grumpy. I want to move on to the next step and get all this lining up and ( Read more... ) -
So the gods didn't feel like screwing with me this time...
It always feels ridiculous to read blog posts of negativity and self-doubt when you're completely aware that you have been proven wrong, and things actually would turn out alright. It feels even weirder to face the people who would say "SEE I TOLD YOU", because for some reason all the self-confidence I should have had during the application process ( Read more... ) -
Sitting, waiting, wishing, and freaking out
It's only a matter of hours until the results for the UP TDT comes out. The odds are definitely against me - I'm a transferee who fucked up in the talent test. The chances are so slim that at this point I can only look at someone with disbelief when they say "Oh I'm so sure you'll get in."
It's no longer in my hands and I'm extremely scared. I'm ( Read more... ) -

I messed up, guys. I messed the talent test up, and I'm not even exaggerating. I'm fucking serious.
Ask me about it and 2 minutes later one of us will be crying for one reason or another.
College peeps, I'll be seeing you around CSB.
Northerners, enjoy your trees. There'll be one less person eating up the clean air this year.
Hypothetical dormates, ( Read more... ) -

Sitting Around
4:00 AM
I wake up to my iPod alarm playing I Want To Hold Your Hand, Across The Universe style. I pack two Cheese Whiz sandwiches and a banana.
5:30 AM
I arrived at UP before the sun was up. The lack of sunlight and any sign of life (other than the surprisingly numerous joggers up at that time) didn't make the campus look any smaller or ( Read more... ) -
Fear and Paint
I’m scared. Scared. Scared. Scared.
It’s almost 3 AM in the morning. It’s officially Sunday, the day before my interview at UP. I don’t know how big a bearing my portfolio review and interview will have on my chances of being accepted. Most people only ever panic about the talent test, which is ( Read more... ) -
Ooh Ni Ber Si Dad
I went to submit my application form to the College of Fine Arts at UP Diliman today. I haven't been there since the UPCAT, the college entrance test most Filipinos take well aware of the slim chances of being able to pass. During UPCAT day of 2007, each corner of UP was filled with mothers and fathers and worried children. The street is ( Read more... )
