An interesting first day

MK — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:52:51 +0000

Today was the first day of my junior year of college. Though I still have qualms about it (specially with marketing since I don’t have a sure group yet), I think I’ll enjoy my first semester very much. I started the day with my 7:30 am Theology class with a really cool, techie, jesuit brother. After that, I had my marketing class with the marketing department head then two hours of computer science which seems extremely interesting.

In the afternoon I have probably the only boring subject I have, statistics (but my professor seems really good) and Philosophy 101 with another really young cool teacher.

An interesting thing happened today while I was stalking dance celebrities in multiply. I was looking at some of the videos that we’re posted and tagged with Yulia Zagoruychenko and saw they we’re also tagged with Eugene Katsevman. I then (out of curiosity) clicked the add contact button and it just so happens Eugene was online at that time and accepted me to be his contact! We actually chatted a little bit after that and he was really nice though a bit short spoken (lol what an adjective)

Who says summer is fun?

Well, summer is actually fun for the most part but when you’ve got three subjects and they all have requirements due and tests due in one week which at the same time is the same week that all your organizations and extra-curricular activities decide to have their requirements due!

Business statistics is my biggest problem right now cause my teacher really can’t teach. He just stands their in front of the class and laughs his head off the whole day. Its the same feeling I got when I was taking up accounting a few semesters ago where the teacher really wasn’t helping and I had to learn all by myself.

Statistica actually took away all the fun feelings I had left over from the planning seminar the ACTM and Ieft me groggy the entire week.

Besides that I’ve been really pushing myself to finish my GUIDON application requirements, which I’ve been doing during histo 165 class (thank god no one really cares what notes your typing down on your computer). I really hope my application passes, here’s a look at my application requirements.

Rizalogging

MK — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:42:13 +0000

Jose Rizal is a figure that can’t be left unspoken about when talking about the Philippines. This man of small stature but not of small ideas, has left such an impact in the country that entire provinces are named after him. Though his claim on the title of national hero is debatable his written works are some of the most important pieces of filipino literature.

As students of the Ateneo De Manila University, the same educational institution that Rizal attended, as Philippine Youth and History 165: Jose Rizal and the emergence of the Philippine Nation, we have created blogs that would show what Rizal would have said if he had a blog. Here’s a list of links to some the blogs we’ve created.

After Three days of Summer School

MK — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 04:35:30 +0000

The first half week of summer classes has just ended and Im about to start another week of hot summer education and I mean that literally. As much as I like having an allowance and having an excuse to go out, the heat of classroom with a darkened glass wall magnifying the heat and making you look like a roast chicken inside an oven. I have to say I do like the classes I’m taking.

Histo 165 is interesting, not just because I like history but my teacher makes it really interesting. QMT 12 is a little boring because its during a dead hour (1:30-3pm) but my teacher there is way too talkative you won’t be able to sleep. JSP 103 is a little bit challenging right now because I’m a little rusty with my hiragana and I never got to perfect my katakana but it is still fun none-the-less.

I’m currently searching itunes U for more learning resources since I really wanna get high grades during my summer term so I can raise my QPI (what we call our GPA or GWA) before the school year starts. I really hope it will rain soon I can’t take this heat any longer

Psych or Foreign Language

MK — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 18:45:46 +0000

This is something I’ve been thinking about for the past couple of days. My course requires me to take one class this summer which is ITM, however the ADMU allows students to take up to nine units of subjects this summer. This gives students the opportunity to take some subjects in advance and lighten their loads a little by giving them more units to use if they want to get a minor.

Since I haven’t decided if I will double major or minor in anything I thought it would be best if I just took the chance and take a subject in advance this summer. My problem now is which do I take?

I’ve narrowed it down to two subjects Psych and Foreign Language. I’m choosing these two because they’re the subjects that are usually more fun to study. I still want to be able to somehow enjoy my summer or at least enjoy as much of it as I can that’s why I’m not taking things like Economics or Filipino 14.

Psych teachers sometimes have really cool weird mind experiments with things that I’m into like tarot cards. It requires some reading but I think I’ll enjoy it.

Foreign Language is a little hard to look at. Almost everyone enjoys foreign language class since they get to choose what language they want to study and well I’m not quite sure what I want yet. I could take Japanese and have a lot of fun but I could also get Spanish which would be somehow easy for me.
