This year's definitely going to be different for some reason... I think even with only four days into the schoolyear, I'm actually going to like several new things this year--- and the list includes Physics, Trigo and believe it or not, Mondays. And yup, I guess I can add Economics to the list as well, along with my classic favorite, Art class {T.H.E., to be more precise). I'm really happy that everything's managing to get a little more interesting everyday, and the good part about it is that I think my optimism is starting to kick back in again. Wheee... I can't believe I'm enjoying school this much... and loving it too.

I was also asking God this morning to just PLEASE give me a sign about my plans for college. Fortunately, throughout the day, I'd been getting my head cleared out about things, and my decisions were finally confirmed when I went to the teacher's table before lunch to check on the attendance sheet. Our class calendar, which I'm assuming to actually be that sign, had sayings that all pointed to the direction of what I chose. So there... and I owe my peace of mind to HIM.

And with all that, I've finally chosen UP Manila as my first choice, and I changed Architechture to Psychology, just in case I decide to take it as a Pre-med for Pediatrics if I don't make the cut to my first three choices. I guess all the fuss was pretty much worth it in a way, because I don't want to look back on these choices with any regrets. I want to set things straight this time... and realize that the best time for second chances is already right now.

There were only two things got me disappointed today: a brief dose of crabs by means of Peace* and those UPCAT transcripts. Those stupid UPCAT transcripts had me shifting back to my grade-conscious mode upon finding out about my rank in the graduating batch. Sheesh, it's a really shallow thing but I can't help but put so much pressure on myself. It's just one of those events that make you think that you really could've done better, but didn't, and now you're regretting everything you've ever taken advantage of. Heck, I was so disappointed I almost cried... I mean really almost cried.

God, my attitude towards grades is turning me into a prune. And this just shows how hypocritical I can get, knowing that I just personally don't believe that a person's capabilities should be based on grades anyway. I don't know why it's affecting me so much... shoot, I've got to stop this. Good thing I've got college to look forward to already. :)

Oh, I also underwent the interview for YCLC today, and I'm planning to have it as an org if I pass either Photography or Magni (Photography!!!). The interviewers (which included Smarla, Ia, Tessa, and another girl from 2nd/3rd year) were pretty fun to answer, because all of them were trying to put on straight faces while asking me irrelevant questions and, at one point, while having me draw Tessa's face on the chalkboard within 30 seconds. Hehe... I guess the whole thing was just part of the CLC charm. :D I'm actually more excited about joining now than I'd ever been before.

By the way, Sir Ramos, our Trigonometry teacher, is turning 24 today. Happy birthday Sir Diwa!
