Back To Reality

Jun 24, 2007 Daily Blurbs, School

School has officially started for me last Thursday. I think I have the worst schedule! I only have 4 school days to attend to, but on those 3 days, my classes start at 7am! O.o On Saturday, yes, S-a-t-u-r-d-a-y, it starts at 8:30am. I am not a morning person, so waking up at 5:30 in the morning is really hard for me. I still have the same classmates, except for this one guy. I am still one of the four girls in our section. It’s not that bad. I mean, I like hanging out with them girls and some boys.

We have a new professor. Thank God! He will be teaching us Computer Programming, includes Java and C Language. I don’t know what to expect, but he seems to be pretty good. I believe I will learn a lot from him because he also seems to be very knowledgeable of his craft.

On my Audio/Video Production and Adobe Flash classes, I am semi-unfortunate to have the same professor as to my previous subjects. Well, he’s forte is Aud/Vid Prod, but he admitted to us that he lacks skills on Flash, which is a very important prerequisite to our Game Development class next semester. I do want to learn Action Scripting because I only learned the basics of Flash animations and the basic action scripting on web development using Flash last year. This is going to be a struggle. I wish they provide us with books, because I don’t really want to rely on my notes.

For my 3D Modeling class, my instructor is the one I had for my Basic Drawing class. I know that he’s fit to teach us this because I’ve seen his drawings. Although he’s not that close to his students, or maybe just to us, he’s very kind and approachable.

This is going to be another roller coaster ride!

#Ten

Jun 20, 2007 Buzz, Daily Blurbs

It’s been 10 months since I allowed myself to fall again. It took me a lot of courage to believe the things that I thought weren’t true, or would never be true for me. Amidst all the doubts and fears, I immersed myself with all the wonderful feelings of having gazillions of butterflies in the stomach, having to breathe and not breathe at the same time, and the best yet… smiling alone. *I’m doing it right now…*

My sister told me that she didn’t think we’d pass 2 months. I did, too. I thought that this would just be an experimental thing, a test drive, just to know if I am ready to take the plunge again. Somehow, it felt right. We felt right.

He’s the total opposite of myself. He’s the optimist and I am the cynical one. I learned a lot of things from him, or should I say, I felt the change in me, positive ones. My mom saw it, too. I find myself more appreciative of the littlest things, and I lean more on the positive side of every negative thing I encounter. I think he rubbed on his lollipops and sunshine to me.

I never thought that I would meet a person like him. We live far from each other. From his house, it’s a tricycle ride, a long walk to the highway, a bus ride, another long walk to the terminal, an FX ride or bus ride, then a jeepney ride to our house. It takes him about 2 hours to get here. Although he doesn’t say it, I know that it’s hard for him to travel that long in this hot climate. He complains about the heat, but never have I heard him complain that he has to come see me. We both hate the heat, so I can understand his frustrations about that. He should have brought travel supplies, like an umbrella or a hat to prevent being burned by the sun.

Sans the heat, you can always hear the enthusiasm on his voice when he tells me, “I can’t wait to see you tomorrow!”. I learned to smile more often because of him. I also learned to control my anxiety and my temper. He also knows how to calm me down. It’s something that most people can’t do. Maybe we’re twin souls. If we are, then we’re the luckiest people on earth.
