Three days to go and back to school mode. Ambivalence. Glad that I will finally have something to do and sad at the same time because after a week I’m sure I don’t want to do what it is that I have to do.

Almost three weeks of sem break and I incredibly wrote zero blog entries. Zero. Nada. Nothing. Ironic right? During the hell sem I was looking forward to sem break so I can post as many entries as my creative juices can squeeze. Nothing came out. Just poor attempts. I’m exerting every effort I can muster now so I can at least finish this one and this entry can gain some internet real estate not like its million predecessors.

Writer’s (feeling) rut invaded me for the break. I would type a few words then I’d hit the delete button. Just like that and the thoughts that I have managed to type were lost into oblivion. But last sem even if I have 20 deadlines to meet, 56 exams to pass, and 8 more stages at Cake Mania to finish I still find time to let my blog know I haven’t forgotten it. I guess that I get most of my ideas and thoughts on the lame adventures I go through during schooldays. I don’t know why I feel the need to immortalize my stories and post them for the whole world to read. That is, if anyone does read them. Well for one, it keeps my few ounces of creative juices from totally evaporating.

Now I’m not really sure of what my topic is. This is one those anything goes blog entry.

I enrolled last Wednesday. No Enrolment Eskapeyds to tell. The enrollment was a breeze. We’re done after an hour and a half. Boring. Five sems down and three more to go. Until now, I’m still amazed of the wonders of prayer. That and a lot of cramming helped me so I can still check continuing and regular student on my form 5 last Wednesday. I know that I’m far from a model student. Get college done and over with so I can get a life.

My Vierhundert friends are laughing at me because I have an assignment during the break for my 2nd sem class. It sucks but I’m okay with it really. We need to have a 20-hour job experience of any manual work. So I, Kei, and Lorine chose car wash. It was fun! Plus I had something to do aside from playing Cake Mania, Build-a-lot, and Capitalism II… and reading books, from A Time to Kill to A Millionaire’s Mind… and watching TV series and all sorts of movies… and losing a lot of hours in ZZZZs. The thing I hate about the assignment is the paper work. Hello? Why not just pass a one-page reflection paper and pictures. Cut the other craps. I don’t know why CAMP profs love to torture themselves and torture the students as well. I get it that no one likes to check 26 boring papers that talk about elbow extensions, dexterity, gross prehension patterns, maximum amount of muscle strength, need for ability to follow instructions, and so on. So if they don’t want to check one (what more 26?), we definitely don’t want to write one, why the hell give an assignment like that?! We can all save ourselves a lot of energy, neurons, pen ink, and electricity. And we can help the environment by not using papers. Hehe. If you’re wondering why I’m fuming about this assignment… one, it is toxic, two, it is lame, and lastly I haven’t type a single word about it! By the way, it is due on the first day of class! If you want to add some misery to your life, apply for a degree in CAMP.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m beginning to like my course. About time I think because if all goes well I’ll graduate after three sems. It’s quite hard to imagine what would happen to me with a diploma framed, no allowance, officially part of the unemployment statistics, and still not in good terms with my course. I just don’t get it why they have to subject us to unnecessary pressures and hardships. The operative term is unnecessary. But what can I do? They come with the package.

I’m still thankful for everything. For my God. For my family. For my friends. For my *ehem* education. For every blessing… because life is beautiful and I’m extremely glad that I’m living one;)
