back to school

yesterday, the public schools have begun their classes. (which means, the intolerable traffic in manila when i go there. darn it.) while i was nccc lunch time, there were these children with their big bags wearing their school uniform. and the nostalgia came. those were the days when i was so excited with new notebooks and all that.

but, aha! i'm going back to school this year too! i go back to UP Open University for a second try. hehe! the last time i enrolled in their distance course (Masters in Professional Studies in Development Communication), I dropped my elective (which was more demanding than my major!) and aced my major (yeah!). And was considered AWOL because apparently the form they asked me to fill up asking whether I plan to enroll in the next semester which I stated I would not was not considered official. So for 5 years I was AWOL. Mwahaha!
So... I am once again a UP student. This time taking up their Professional Teaching Course. Not that I plan to become a teacher, but the education units will help me better with my job (I handle an education program). And the way fate has taken a turn, I might have to bid my media background goodbye and truly focus in the pursuit of education for all. Hahay.

Still, I'm not as excited as I should be. But I need the distraction for the loads of work I have to do. This morning I woke up realizing I am doing the work of three people plus helping out in other programs as well. I wanted to screaaaaaammmm! But haha. More work as therapy? Times are crazy nowadays.

Sayang though... I don't get to enjoy student discounts anymore. Darn it. 20% Student fares with PAL can only be for those 25 below. Not even that close. Mwhehe! Oh well. Another adventure for me, going back to school is. Let's see, let's see. :D
