Over-spontaneity No More

Finally, I’m on vacation!

Our one-month-long practicum has just ended. I must say that it was a very tiring experience for me and, maybe for the rest of my classmates. But it surfaced on me big time only a few days ago, as I try to railroad my research paper about the so-called “presidentiables” and my journals during the practicum. LOL.

Many people noticed that I gained weight.Well, yes, it’s true. From around 53 kilograms (116 pounds) a few months ago, I now weigh around 140 pounds, my heaviest in years! It was pretty hilarious for me. I never thought I could really, really do that! After that instance, I got so inspired on gaining more weight and, eventually, toning my body into a fitter-slash-hotter figure. Starting June (or July), the gym might become my new haven.

Any tips for a first-timer? Haha. I’m excited yet anxious about this.

Aside from working out, I’m excited for an upcoming job for me. I won’t tell what exactly my job is to avoid jynx but, basically, I really need this to help out in minimizing household expenses and to maintain extra cash for other important expenditures. Although I think I lack the specific experience, I firmly believe I can do the nitpicking when accepted for the job. Anyway, all of us start in blank slates.

Just in case you have other part-time jobs to offer, don’t think twice to message me or to reply on this note. It will be very helpful.

But if you think I’m going to decrease my academic load in the coming semesters, that would be a very big no-no. 2010 is my only graduation year. Haha.

As a new phase is about to start, I think it calls for me to lessen my over-spontaneity. I am a person afraid to miss anything I think of as important (or so I think but they might not be that important). Shyness comes into me when I feel that I don’t click that much with my friends or when the news I’m hearing was already outdated.

Thus, with the additional activities added to my calendar, this must urge me to strictly follow what was scheduled at hand and to avoid entertaining unplanned activities (unless it’s too important AND urgent). Still, I’m open to handle various organizational responsibilities, but to a lesser extent now.

Even Dreams Bite

I started writing this entry at ten in the evening, with the desire to express how bugged I am the past few days.

This year’s summer has been one of the busiest days of my life, as my graduation is coming close. As a Political Science student, we have to take Political Science 190 as a course requirement. Described as Practicum in Political Science, this is a way to gauge the extent of learning a student acquired from his course through application and employment of various political theories in our everyday living. From our centralized, not-so-regular class meetings in UP Diliman (which served as our campus this summer), we ventured out of our comfort zones upon integrating with the indigenous people in Ifugao, urban poor families in Quezon City and the bureaucrats in the House of Representatives.

Our practicum/on-the-job training will only last for a month, thus resulting to a heavier academic load and a stressful life. If there’s one thing (aside from playing Tekken 5 through my PSP) that would relieve the fatigue I feel, that’s when I sleep.

But the images I see during my sleep even added to my worries now.
