BREAKING THE SILENCE
Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) - Start of Week #20
NOTE: this is a special weekly posting that is made prior to moving back to my dorm in La Salle. it is about upcoming events this week and notes on it. this is usually posted on sunday afternoons.
Weekends could never be shorter! I've only had a 20 hour weekend of resting compared to the 50 hour ones of last semester. I move back into La Salle tonight, and I think I'll arrive around 8 o'clock in the evening.
I spent the only rest-time I have during the week, which was this past morning and afternoon... sleeping and getting the feel and mood of one of the most inspiring mini-series there are out there... on HBO... Band of Brothers (Part 1 and Part 2, out of 10 or 11 parts). It's historical references, cinematography, music, it's really good!! And outside the weather was gloomy and gray, and so was the atmosphere of these first two parts of this grand mini-series. I really felt part of it this afternoon.
Right now it's three hours before that and we've still got a Birthday Party to attend at my father's compound in another part of town. It's my cousin's child's 1st birthday. My mom ordered for a clown to entertain the guests and as our gift to the baby. By the way, the mother of that baby is the next oldest cousin after me in the 3rd Generation of Putong's. We're 15 I think, eldest to youngest I would be #13.
This incoming week starts off with finishing up articles and submitting them on the deadline this Monday. Subjects should now begin their initial lessons according to the syllabus and studying shall commence once again.
I'm not sure about going to Ate Angge's again this week. I want to, but it's up to the rest of the others if they're going. If they're going and I have nothing urgent to do, I will go.
And from last week's clarification about the purpose of Broadcast Journalism (which should actually be re-named to AB Broadcasting and Journalism to clearly state the course in one phrase), this week will now probably be cementing schedules. I'm going to try and memorize the Teatro's Irreg-sked with JOU1-1 as they slide in and out of the core schedule, I'm also still working on "breaking the silence" and to start reciting and get into the flow of the classroom recitation system.
Another thing this upcoming week is my change of schedule. I won't consider myself as an Irreg I guess, I'm not sure what my classmates will think. I'm dropping "Pagbasa at Pagsulat" under two-time Professor, Dr. Pil Garcia and in it's place is a vacant slot for an optional advance subject I can take, but so far confused about. I'll be taking an international version of "Pagbasa at Pagsulat" on Saturday mornings for three hours instead.
Dropping my Filipino II class will render my schedule 3-subjects every day, with breaks inbetween. I can't decide if I should attempt to add "Philiosophy of Man" or "International Kursong Rizal" to the vacant slots in my schedule. At first I am eager to advance while I have this chance because my schedule during the week is sort of filled with breaks, then in another sense I will be eliminating myself from future subjects together with lovable JOU1-1. If I advance, I'm not sure how that will affect my Academics in the Core JOU1-1 subjects (regular ones)... or should I refuse to advance and keep all these breaks to enhance studying and concentration in Core JOU1-1 subjects... hmmm.
I don't know. Camille, a classmate who's really an Irreg, got her hands on multiple interesting subjects and she's advancing already into Introduction to Communication, Performing Arts from a different course, and other interesting subjects. It's her choice, she's very ambitious, but I often wonder what will happen to her other subjects like Filipino, Math, SocSci, the Sciences... with all of them nearly eliminated from her schedule.
So with a revised schedule, I'm only moving a subject from a timeslot and placing it on Saturdays for an International Version. Not much Irreg there. For JOU1-1, I'll be there all the time except in Filipino.
Dorm Life this week might remain the same. Jan did tell Lance that he'd be moving in this upcoming week. About the Pizza ordering for Sunday night, I'll be arriving pretty late so maybe they'll just eat it together.
For my organizations that are left (HF and AB Com Channel), I'm thinking they are a perfect match. Joanna in HF is also in the AB Com Channel, so we'll be able to relate quickly to the events in both orgs.
And next Sunday, the HF writers will be partnered up for a grand field researching on Christmas around Metro Manila. This will make me experience for the first time, TWO NON-STOP WEEKS at La Salle. I don't think I'll be going home next weekend, and I'm already feeling homesick when I think of it!
With a Saturday class next week, and a Sunday non-stop trip to the Metro, maybe I'll stay in my dorm in La Salle. Unless I get more info on the trip to the Metro with HF, I'm thinking maybe I can still return home Saturday afternoon and on Sunday morning meet with Eric at Bacoor and we can both reach the meeting location. So maybe I can still enjoy a weekend, but for now, I don't know exactly how that will work out.
Swimming on Thursday by the way, and no swimming trunks and swimming cap to find yet! I'm panicked about that! I went to Robinsons Imus last Saturday and couldn't find any of the two! I'm sure Toby's Sports Store in SM Bacoor has them, but that's all the waaaaaaay to Bacoor and a double or triple distance from home Tanza to Dasmariñas tonight if we stopped by SM.
Maybe I can borrow a swimming cap from my dorm neighbors, that shouldn't be a problem. But swimming trunks and lending them? I'm getting my own.
Ok, here's to the 2nd Week of the 2nd Semester here at La Salle.
Title in Review: "Breaking the Silence", I'm trying to destroy my silence during class recitation time and start getting myself involved and in-turn focused more about the topic, teacher, and subject itself.
