positivity :)
i was about to type "prolonging the agony" in the subject field, but then i [rhea]lized i've had enough of negative vibes in this account. haha!
anyway, i was scheduled to take the exam i missed last week today. but!!!!!!!!!! i didn't get to take it because the lady at the philo department who was supposed to proctor me had to leave by 4:45, and i got there 4pm. so hello, like i wanted could to take the exam in 45 minutes! if im not mistaken, i think the exam is composed of 20 essay items. like whoah, diba? so 45 minutes my ass pero deins talaga pwede. haha! when i called atty. manaloto (my prof) to tell him about the sitch, he was kind enough to let me choose another time. o diba. the lawyers who i was lucky enough to have as my professors have all been (1) really good at explaining things and (2) very considerate. in a way, they make me feel as if the people in the up college of law are not so mean, after all.
this thursday pala, i really appreciated the conversation i had with ma'am chei regarding my plans. just recently (as i've blogged in my blogger), i've sortov decided that i would take graduate units in psych. i won't try to attach an M.A. in my name, (Atty. would be enough, thankyouverymuch :) ), but i would really want to take a few courses relevant to my life prospects. after the talk i had with ma'am chei, i felt encouraged. and!!! i think social psych is really the subject for me. i mean, at least in relation to my law career. forensic psych, after all, is under it. and so is i/o. after my psych195 class under prof. cantiller this summer, i really got interested in the corporate world. add to that dr. mendoza and her very inspiring wide range of specialties. choosing psych over the honors course i passed in ateneo has been, i must say, one of the best decisions i've made. of course that's a very biased view, but right now i'm soooooo appreciating the many things i can do with my psych degree. one thing is for sure: i won't put it to waste. whatever i'll end up doing in the future, i'll apply psych to it. anyway, i'm just so excited about taking grad units in psych :D after all (again, like what i said in my blogger acct), if i really want to establish the role of psychology in law here in the philippines, i would need something more than just an undergrad in psych. someday soon, i hope philippine courts would employ psychologists in courtrooms, too, in assessing eyewitness testimonies (and other related stuff) the way they do in the US. buti pa kasi doon, naappreciate ang psych. dito kasi, pang-mental lang talaga ang common notion. i'm so excited with what i can be :) may God always guide me :)
oh. and by the way, jamo and i are a-okay again :)
hmmm.. what else?
oh yeah. tomorrow i'll start my review classes for LAE :) i know a lot of people would rather not take review classes. some (and this is not merely anecdotal) even said that if they would take the LAE, they won't let anyone know. i must be putting too much pressure on myself now. i mean, almost everyone knows i'm going to take it and that i want it soooo badly and that i'm even disregarding image management for the sake of being more prepared. now if i don't pass, i hope ateneo will take me. hahaha! and if i don't pass the ateneo law school entrance exam (i don't know what it's called) either, then i have numerous other options, thanks to psych. but of course, i will go to law school. maybe not yet immediately after grad (in the event that i don't pass), but i will go to law school.
wow. it feels good to be so positive in writing. haha. i'm really a positive person naman eh, it just so happens that when i write, i write about not-so-positive stuff.
ok, i guess that's it for now.
PS.
does anyone here play BURGER SHOP? hahaha i'm addicted!
