Yet Again.
Jul 29, 2006 Daily Blurbs, School
Update: I got my old Yahoo ID back! Yey!
Let’s see if I make sense.
I got up yesterday morning thinking, yet another day is here once again. I am in between falling back to bed and getting up to be ready for school. I just got word from my professor that I got a 99% on her exam, and that she didn’t expect for anyone to go past 85%. With that said, she made me think, does that mean she doesn’t believe in herself? That maybe, one of us really listens well enough to grasp what she was trying to teach? Or, it’s otherwise? She doesn’t believe in her students.
That’s kind of scary.
I didn’t go back to school so that I will be faced with incompetent teachers who regard their work as a sideline, and think their students are inept. The reason why I went back to school is to have a diploma at hand so that I can work for a good company, if not that, I can charge a professional fee to my clients.
But it’s not all about the money that you make. It’s not the measure of who you are. Yes, let’s mention all the clichéd statements that there is more to life than money. *Rolls eyes* I still agree with what my father used to say, that education is worth more than all the riches in the world… and I believe him.
It frustrates me when I attend my classes and we do nothing. It’s such a waste of time; a waste of living; a waste of fare; a waste of tuition fee. Most students would comment that they love not doing any work. I hate not doing anything in school. I want to learn, acquire the skills and be done with it.
I am twenty-three. The average life span of people is until 70 years old. I still have more than 50 years to become successful, or become the woman I came to be. I’ve always felt that I have wasted 3 years of my life. I want to make up for lost time. But time can never be taken back. You can only start making it a worthwhile ticking bomb. I don’t want to wake up 50 years later and just realize what I have come to recognize right now.
I know it’s not too late to build another pathway to success, or should I say, a better life. I once told my sister that when I’m done with school, I will find my own place. I was surprised when she said she’s going to stay at my parent’s house for as long as she’s not yet married. I don’t want to do that. I want to learn to live on my own, experience having the responsibility of taking care of my needs and become more aware of what I will face in the future.
I have realized long before now that leaning on to something or someone will do you not much good. If it does, then there is no room for learning to stand up with your own two feet.
So back to going to school yesterday… a waste of 2 whole hours doing nothing but stand up and listen to students running for the student government. One of the parties mentioned that they will have vending machines installed in those two floors that the school occupies. I would’ve settled for a water dispenser. It’s cheaper, it doesn’t have sugar and it occupies less space. Our school is not as big to put up 2 vending machines per floor.
The other mentioned that they will provide a cooperative that will help the students. Hmm… I forgot with what? One asked where they will get their funds. The president-wannabe answered after a few seconds of mumbling something I didn’t understand. So he said that the students will pay Php1500 to join the cooperative? Ehhh! Wrong answer! Believe me, no one in their right mind would pay that much for a cooperative that doesn’t even know where it’s going to get its funds. He could’ve said fund raisers. Well, that’s just me.
I have thought about running for the student government, too. I thought, maybe I can help my fellow students. But seeing the kind of students that I will be helping made me stop for a minute and double back to not ever thinking about running. I might change my mind, though. Haha!
There was a one liner that I have heard somewhere, “If you don’t change your mind, then it means you’re not using your head to think.”
So, today, the adviser for our school newspaper came to class and extended an invitation to join the paper. They are looking for people to fill all the major positions. I even thought about becoming the Editor-In-Chief, but then I thought, that will mean a lot of time taken out of my hands. Still, I signed to apply for either the Features Editor or the Literary Editor. Maybe the cartoonist?
Yet again, responsibility never leaves my hands. I don’t know if this whole post is in sync with one train of thought, but heck, I think I made sense.

Because of the typhoon Gloria (original name), classes are suspended for two days. I have been working on a new layout for my blog, and I made a new layout for JayR’s fanlisting. Last Sunday, I was out with Ringo, JeAr and Kix for an afternoon meeting about something. Everyone will know soon what it’s about.
I am in need of a laptop.. buy me one? GP says that I should get it from Apple Computers. I was thinking Dell Inspiron E1505, and have someone buy it for me in the US. I just hope I get the money soon. I was looking to buy from eBay, too. But I am always in doubt of second hand items.
Travis, my friend, told me that he is looking up jobs for me in Colorado. I had to remind him that I am currently in school and needs to finish it first before I go fly somewhere, but I think I am considering it as an option for me after I graduate.
I have been sick for a few days. I have dry cough and I had fever for 2 days. I guess the typhoon is a blessing for me. But I am a bit better now. My throat is still sore, though, because whenever I cough, it feels like it’s being shredded. Ouch!
Oh well, tomorrow is a new day!
