E-day # 1
FAIL.
That pretty much sums what happened today. But seeing as that would seem idiotic to just blog "FAIL", I suppose we can make a three-paragraph story about it...
My day started out WET, yes WET. Because it was raining sabertooth tigers and mountain hounds so early in the morning. My mom came along with me, so seeing as she exudes sosyal too much, I suggested we take a cab from home to UP, which we did - just to be on the safe side. When I got there, which was 7 am in the morning... *fast forward, fast forward*
8:45-ish when they started getting the IDs for the usual process of distributing the Form 5as. They announced half an hour after - after scrambling the order of the IDs - that they will distribute around 10 am. Yes... 10 am. 10 came and they started giving away the 5as one by one... and at some point they decide, *Hey, why don't we line up the EE's first?* So the had them lined up, and after that all of the 5as come in the room. And what they do is they give it to the students... one by one... ALPHA-freakin-BETICALLY. How unfair is it that those people who arrive at God-Knows-What time and they get their 5as before me... I remember a quote my friend once told me... "Trust in the system." And I said...
..."Yeah right."
After that mess in the VLC, I went straight upstairs, to enlist in the subject that was the only one left possible for me... and at least... thank God, I got it...
I kept texting Mael if we're still good for lunch but apparently, I got stood up... LOL.
Me and a few friends go to Melchor Hall, up the stairs, towards the ES department, to find 10 short bond papers labeled ES 12 (enter section here) - plus time and days. Only 3 out of the 10 were applicable for me. Apparently, they planned to make this drawing of lots, a little... *even though I totally disagree*... systematic. They said the papers will be claimed at 4:30. So off we go, just burning away the remaing (4++) hours, in the VLC, and as we got drenched here and there (my pants actually went from dry to wet to dry three times over) we arrive at the 3rd floor at 4-ish. Hours pass when they release the results only for us to find that the schedule we all wanted only accepted ONE student. Talk about wasting our time.
Flustered and frustrated, I go off to Trinoma to meet up with my mom who's been waiting for hours - because of my fault which I have to make up for. I don't actually want to share how messy going home was. But after getting home, I realized I haven't been this exhausted for a while now.
Then again, there's one saving grace for today, to be relayed by a simple quote in my native tongue...
"Di ka mahuhuling tumitingin sa kanya, kung di siya tumitingin sayo." Adios.
