I just woke up from a two-hour nap. I don’t know why I suddenly felt sleepy. I mean, last night I slept at 8-fricking-PM and woke up at 7 this morning. You’d think ten hours of sleep is enough keep me rested. Ha ha.
Anyway, I wasn’t able to blog about the first day of school yesterday. I was too tired. We usually don’t do anything on the first day, but yesterday I was assisting the Psychology freshmen at the Freshmen Welcome Assembly. It wasn’t easy sorting a couple of excited teenagers into organized blocks. We made those poor kids walk from AS (Palma Hall) to the university theater. In the heat. And after the assembly, we all had to walk back to AS. Still in the heat. They all looked so tired, those poor things.
I just realized I’ve been present at every Freshmen Welcome Assembly since I was a freshman. I sang at last year’s assembly (with a certain choir). This year was the only time I sat through the entire thing. And now that I’m an upperclassman, it was just dragging and boring. Ha ha, upperclassmen are so jaded sometimes (this merits another entry, but not now). It hasn’t changed much, though - same old Kontra-Gapi performance, same old UP Pep Squad routine, same old lightning rally from the same old protesters at the end of the program… only this time they weren’t protesting Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the band deliberately drowned their voices, and the sound system was switched off. Weird, they let them speak during our Freshmen Welcome Assembly. The freshmen looked a bit shaken. Ha ha.
As for my classes… I STILL HAVEN’T MET MY MATH 100 PROF! AGH! He didn’t show up yesterday.
So there you have it. My first day of school was tiring. Just tiring. I don’t have any “vibes” about how this semester’s going to be. We’ll see tomorrow.
