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.

Honesty is the best policy, well that’s what they say. I’m not exactly the best example for honesty (I admit there has been times when I was given the wrong amount of change and I didn’t say anything) but there is this one store at my school that I think promotes honesty the best way I’ve ever seen. It’s name of course is the Honesty store.
The Honesty store was brought to my attention by my friend Eric Smith (his blog can be found in my blog roll). The store is well not really exactly like all the stores that we know, its basically a cabinet with food on the shelves and a metal cashbox. The idea of the Honesty store is for patrons to practice honesty by taking what they want and paying for it without anyone having to be there to know that you paid. All proceeds from the Honesty store goes to the Ensign Phillip Pestaño foundation, a foundation created for the benefit of children of deceased army personel. Ens. Philip Pestaño is Eric’s cousin who died back in 1995 and his death was unjustly closed as a suicide until 2000 when foreign investigators and the court ruled it as a murder.
Quite a cool idea isn’t it? It was launched last friday with the first store opening at the Manuel V. Pangilinan building (a building with mostly organization rooms) at my school. A couple more opened over the weekend at the Cervini and Eliazo residential halls.
