freude! freude!

Yeah, I've been obsessing about classical music lately- I even read up on them. Imagine, an actual phase. I had this phase before, albeit milder. I ended up downloading lots of classical music. It's happening again. Yes, I'm bored- at last! I never had a week's time to think things through. Being bored is good because you reali- never mind. I never had this week despite 3-month's time of vacation. Ooh, I finally found the source of "Joyful Joyful" christian music! Lauryn Hill sang a pop version of it in Sister Act 2! Ha! An excerpt from Beethoven's 9th symphony:

Freude trinken alle Wesen
An den Brüsten der Natur;
Alle Guten, alle Bösen
Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.
Küsse gab sie uns und Reben,
Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;
Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,
Und der Cherub steht vor Gott.

Go figure. Not much goings-on on the physical plane; I'm still brooding about my schedule, if you can even call it that. School starts on munday. Hopefully, hell won't follow. I'm looking forward to my classes, despite their incredibly bad timeslots. Three months worth of vacation revived me indeed! Thanks to Mom and Dad and friends! Okay, that was dorky.

Now, about Celadon's formsem last saturday, I'd rather not say much. The program was generally okay but people weren't that great. It was high school all over again and I was Michel Foucault! I had this awful moment with a room mate to whom I divulged my disgust to drinking. Never mind, I'm sure he realized I was exaggerating. Hopefully he didn't end up realizing that I was the odd one out- and that I'm ultimately a social retard! Well, that's not much of a secret anyway so I'll be fine. There was a lot of new peeps. I'm really glad that most of them were worth my time- imagine that, "worth my time!". The pool was also great, we ended up with wrinkled fingers. Oh, and a lot of plastered smiles but I don't get flustered by them easily these days.

About work, I'm definitely getting one next sem! My sched this sem's beyond abnormality that I can't secure either a day or a night job.

been there, been that

I'm definitely back up the hill, where afflicted affectations seem to be the fashion and Taglish is the national language. Oh yes, I almost felt at home until I noticed that the Caf didn't have any familiar faces: few were left of my batch mates. Luckily, the cashiers and the ate's were the same- no, teachers didn't count, they were of some other order of species. I got to see a couple of these familiar species in my Philo and MIS teach, one while feeding himself and the other, mumbling to himself mind you, while running to SS- to fix some computer problem I presume. Oh, they remain to be curious creatures- Idols, I say! Sarcasm doesn't apply to Teachs, that would be blatant sin.

The Hill's ecosystem is not anywhere near deterioration, ladies and gentlemen. The new mall (a.k.a. MVP-Colayco) is definitely something to color fellow student's life. Something's going on with Mateo-Ricci too.

It was the worst Reg in my entire college life- details sometime in the future, which can also mean never! I have to say that a lot of peeps almost snapped upon my request for their account of the reg. I think they ended at around 730- just for processing all seniors. Something was wrong with the server methinks. There was a point when a Regcom person checked our regform thrice. She was totally out of it- must have been hit in the head somewhere. I totally sympathize with them. Angas on their part was totally tolerable, especially whenever I needed comic relief from the ennui of waiting.

Our DS chair was really kind! He really helped me figure out what courses to take. He even helped me get enlisted after Ate Mel (DS secretary) got home. I was really quite perplexed by the profound absurdity of my schedule- I still am. Two paragraphs seem not enough for further elaboration. Anyway, Sabog but I think I got all the good electives! We never had any really advisement in MIS!

This is but to remove cobwebs in my blog. I'm preparing a new layout- finally. Probably Next week... Hardly has anything been up there to really brood about, inanity is my savior.
