Happy Halloween!

Sobrang cute lang na gawa ng kaklase sa Masteral.  Kaya ipopost.  Happy Halloween everyone!!

Masteral Is Fun

Today, together with Ryan and Eyna, we spent our Saturday at UP Campus assessing the quality of a stream by visual inspection.  We followed a stream starting from accross NEC then going towards the lagoon and then UP Checkpoint!  For the love of Jun Ba! (note sarcasm here!") and for the fear of failing...

maputik, ma-higad, madamo, malamok... naliligaw, tuliro, pawisan, mabaho.... these are things not shown in the pictures.. dahil kahit mahirap, masaya lang talaga ang masters..heheh!

The Results

Finally got my results.. hays..ang olats..need to improve stats.

Enggfinity Fun Run

To cap the physical fitness weekend, I joined the Enggfinity Fun Run by the Engineering Student Council.  UP Engineering is celebrating 100 years so the run is just one of the many activities in the college..

Grad friends running

Ran the 5k race and finished it with more that 40 min..hahaha!!!  More walk than run, I guess...But the weekend was surely a success for me, as waking up at 5am, dragging myself to Engg, and having a body that cries from pain from the climb, it was a wonder how I finished the race and still manage to be up and early for work the following day.. talk about Determination, baby!

More fun runs for sure!!!  jogging is such a blissful hobby!! I wish!

Finisher!

Cancellation Blues

I spent the afternoon at UP... now I have sore feet for walking around in heels.

I have to cancel my seminar class because it was intended for those having their thesis. Cancelling it was supposedly easy. I only have to have 3 people's signature before going to the registration's office.

But of the many things that would happen, I get the three copies of the form to be signed in disarray. The two bottom copies were similar to a thermal paper, that if disarrange, the mark will not be seen in the other paper. So after going all through the procedures, it was later realized by the personnel from the graduate office that one of the forms have no 3 signatures. So I would repeat the whole thing going back to the people for their most precious marks. I surely gave myself a hard time. And what was more embarrassing was that I have a classmate with me who has to deal with it too... tsk tsk!!! I surely was a pain today...

But we finished today...and will be working on getting our P1500 refund.

Exam Jitters.

I have never worried on an exam this much since I took the board exams. It is a make it or break it in the program. Graduate school isn’t college anymore. You fail a subject you drop the program, unlike in college that you could just have retake. There is no room for mistakes in the program. Mistakes are for the youth and we are considered people of maturity.
