i've been bugging my sis for quite some time to accompany me to cmc and cal in up diliman to find myself a master's degree program. however, she kept on insisting that she's so busy and have no time to accompany me. yesterday, i was really planning to take the step to bring direction to my pointless life and decided that hell yeah, i'm gonna go to upd and find something to do. lol. and so without giving my sister the choice to say no, i woke up early, dressed up and insisted that i'm coming with her to school. so yah, she agreed. while we were on our way, i BI-ed her and she decided she'll skip her classes to accompany me.
so we got to cal at around 11am, looked for the office for graduate studies and viola! found it beside the dept of sociology at the 3rd flr of faculty center. (whoa with the details) when i came in to the office, the receptionist?staff?assistant?or the dean? was so friendly and accommodating...initially. i told her that im wishing to apply for an ma program this second semester. HOWEVER...my enthusiasm went off when she said, "ay, for first sem ka na." i was like, you mean first sem, 2012???????wtf. and then she asked a follow up question, "anong program ba?" told her im planning to take up speech com and begged to accept my application and yezzzuh! she gave the stuff i have to fill out and everything and told me to submit all of them within the day. ARE YOU FUCK*N KIDDING ME? (that's because the deadline for submission was last AUGUST 12!!!! hahaha) well of course i bargained, gave myself an ultimatum to submit all of them the morning next day. i rushed to my previous office and thank god i have really kind ex-bosses who filled out my recommendation forms, which i would then collect the next day. i slept yesterday with a bothered mind--in other words, i was half asleep last night. lol
this morning, i went to collect my recommendation forms and headed to diliman to submit all of the requirements. got there at around 11am. i handed over the requirements to the receptionist?staff?assistant?or the dean? and after she reviewed everything, she told me to come back on oct 10 to get my admission slip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my, i was sooooo happy, well i still am. LOL. im excited and thrilled to be a student again. :) everything was just right and i feel that this is where i should be.
just a background, i left my job 6 months ago cos i felt it wasn't for me. looking back, i can say i was so immature for taking my job for granted coz HELLOOOOOO it's not easy to get a job. I repeat, IT'S NOT EASY TO GET A JOB (depending on the context. lol) I took a vacation for 2 months and been looking for a job since may. until today, i haven't gotten any call regarding any job offer. all throughout the process i felt dumb and stupid for not landing on a job. it was degrading that i felt worthless. imagine, im dating with my boyfriend and everything's on him since i left my job. well, it was a tough stuff to go through but im happy that i have the support of my parents even if my mom keeps on reminding me to give my career a good direction (you know, the phrase was not that endearing when it comes from your mother's mouth hahaha). So yah, it's hard yet im still happy because i get to spend that time i wanted with my family. way back when i was still working i felt i always needed to catch up with them that even if we're all under the same roof, I missed them everyday.
now, i'm really thankful that God brought me to this direction. I know we took schooling for granted (if you dont agree with me, you're a geek!) but now, i'm gonna look at it as a better opportunity for my growth as an individual. this is not gonna be easy but i will give my all to finish this and graduate WITH HONORS. <3 to tin, ems, ma'am bong, and ma'am nona and my sister jam, THANK YOUUUUU. this will not happen without your help.
