Todo Ligaw.
Ateneo Reception yesterday.
Someone, I'm not sure who, someone big-time, told us a little bitty about how they picked the scholars and all. I think, more now than ever, that they made a huge mistake. Maybe the real scholar's name is Celesdino Mario C. Reyes and they just got us mixed up....or maybe, they thought I was cuter than him. HAHA.
I'll tell you something Ateneo has that UP fo shizzle (to copy DeathcabForCara) does not.
Tissue paper in their bathrooms. I know this cause I christened their comfort room by doing #2 before leaving. So maybe I really am meant to be an Atenean.

A scary bully person. Maybe if I go there, I can be the first. I would really like that.
If I (eventually) go to Ateneo, I'm NOT SHIFTING from Interdisciplinary Studies fo sho (rawr Cara). I need that underline for extra conviction.
The guy I talked to said the only reason people generalize IS as a NowhereSlacker course and IS students as DirectionelessDumdums is cause they're all jealous (yup, you all are...haha belat) that they can study so much more than just one course.
I can take up THREE courses at once!!!! It's way too perfect for me that shifting would be the foolish thing to do. I can't study just a single course, I'd either die crying or end up shifting all the way til my golden years. I'm thinking Management, Psychology and Communications.
The reception thing was kind of freaky deaky (hah, I always wanted to say freaky deaky) for me cause I was the only scholar of Humanities, so me and my folks were alone with all the deans (!) and all their attention was on me and crap....yikes. But, Ateneo can do bongga very very well.
Ooooh. I breathed the same air as the head of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas! A BELAT is dedicated TO SIR MACKY.
Who wants a free Ateneo 2007 planner? They gave one but it's tooo big for me and I already have a planner anyway. It's yours if you ask nicely and give me a cupcake. :}
They also gave a Encyclopedia Brittanica Almanac (way cool) and a set of school supplies and stuff which was really cute cause I felt like I was in the 1st grade again. (Aaw, remember those days?) There was also a book edited by Queena Lee-Chua but sorry Ms. Castilla, I'm not giving it away. Haha! Kidding.
Anyway, baack to doing the thankless deeds.
There was a speaker at the reception yesterday, this extremely smart woman. She went to U.P for two years and she did well..got good grades and everything which is extremely hard, I suppose. Except she said, she didn't have time for anything else and there was no one to support her, to tell her "You can do it." No social life, no family life, no Tv, no pie. She would stay up til 3 just thinking about whether she squared a number or not and so and so. And she would just cry cry cry and cry. Sink or Swim. Every man for himself. At her most miserable state, which was pretty miserable, her mom told her, why don't you transfer to Ateneo (where she was initially a scholar when she got accepted) and she was like, hell yeah! And that was it for her. Now, she's very pretty and happy-sounding.
Anyway, what she was trying to say was, when you pick a school, it's not just about the subjects or the units or the other chuva. It's about what you want to get out of the school, it's about who you want to be and it's about where you think you're going to not just learn, but grow.
She was looking for a school with a moral code, a sense of community, a place conducive to values. And she found it in Ateneo.
I just wanted to infect you guys with my waxing and waning indecision.
Something funny in her story: Two of her professors at U.P bet money on whether she was going to pass a subject or not. Anyway, I thought that was a little bit funny. Haha.
