  • Today: Enlistment Day
  • Time: Late in the morning.
  • Status: Uneasy
Enlistment Day. The crucial day when students finally get to view their class schedules and compare them with friends to see which periods they're free to hang out. Better-known as "Dear Sweet Lord Please Let Me Have A Good P.E." Day.

In the Ateneo, you can enlist for your classes online. But to avoid online traffic, this is done by batching. They give you a random number which corresponds to the time you should be online, and all you have to do is log on at that given time and then enlist.

Problem is, there is a limited number of slots in all P.E.'s. This is common knowledge already, as 1,000 students can't sign up for any one class! So the rule that applies now when chosing your P.E. is first come first serve.

Which is really really uncool, because I'm part of the last batch of enlisters! I won't have a lot of P.E.'s to choose from by the time I log on.

Even now, when they're still serving batch number 3, all the good P.E.'s have been taken. Or so Larz tells me. He says that the only P.E.'s left are fencing, ping pong, basketball and... gulp... DANCE SPORTS!!!

Oh Dear Sweet Lord. I'll take any P.E. you want to dish out at me, just not one that involves dancing! Oh no. Ohhhh nooo no no non no non on oo non on o.

Looks like I'll just have to wait until 4:00 to see what awaits me over in the P.E. lists.

summer plans

I found out yesterday from Alessi that our last exam is on the 23rd! (Yeah, I haven't gotten around to checking the March calendar yet.) My flight's on the 26th (with Gerard! ), so that gives me three extra days of ~COMPLETE IDLENESS~ woohoo. So anyway. I'm really excited to go home. It's just two weeks though, and after that, TWO MONTHS of summer classes. Which means I'll have to fly all the way back to sweltering Manila to take up the TWO SUBJECTS that I and the rest of the Health Sci majors are required to take. Gahh. I can feel the heat waves reverberating towards me from the future. Right. Lest I digress any further, here are some of my (our) ~summer plans~ roflmao March:  Go home and be happy as a bee for two weeks! April-May: Take Psychology and German. -_- Take the Carlos Celdran tour around Manila! n_n Sign up for PAWS! At last! Light up some environmentally destructive floating lanterns, and then later lecture everyone on how they've just...

women superheroes

A lot of my close friends are boys. Boys who like comic books. I hang around them a lot, and usually we talk about random things like physics and foreigners and lobsters having no pain receptors. We went to watch The Amazing Spiderman on a whim just recently. It was fun. Sometimes it's not so fun. I used to get a lot of sandwich jokes until those stopped being funny. Now I get "d'oh you're a girl so of course you hate comic books" jokes. I don't hate comic books. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman . And Walking Dead, too. And Scott Pilgrim!!! But I don't read superhero comics. It's hard to be interested in them when most, if not all, of the superhero women 1.) have gigantic breasts, 2.) wear sexy clothing, and 3.) are always in stereotypically feminine poses. What if the male characters posed like the female ones? (c) Kevin Bolk And look at that. Why can't the men wear clothes as revealing as the women, or women wear clothes as concealing...

Box O' Rice

To be honest, I don't even remember if it's called Box OF Rice, or Box O' Rice. I hope it's Box O' Rice. It just sounds cooler that way. But anyway. I went there last Friday for dinner, and it was my first time there. It's a cozy little place right next to my dorm, and they serve exactly what their name implies: boxes of rice. Boxes of rice with toppings, of course. Emphasis on the word "boxes." Which means there are no plates involved. Which means you can bring the boxes in and out of the store as you please. I should've noted this earlier, because I embarrassed myself at the counter, telling the cashier TWICE that I wanted my box of rice "to go." Durrr. Boxed na. To go pa. Anyway, the food itself is good, for P60-P70 priced meals. My only complaint is that their meat-to-rice ratio needs a bit more tweaking. There's just so much rice, and so little of anything else! That's Pinoy portioning for you. Actually, the store don...
