Computer Center

What a great resource! The computers are such a big help especially to those people who doesn't have their own laptops. I personally take advantage of the computer center and actually have done couple of papers in there. The library is a great place to study and with the addition of computers, its a one two success combo!

Very Satisfied

So I am in remedial math and the deal is you have to take 6 tests and a final in order to get the hold off remediation. I am happy because I am able to pass the first 5 tests which means that if I pass the last test, I basically passed the course! I am confident that I will pass the last test and after I pass the last test, I dont even need to worry about the final. WOOOOOOOO!Goodluck me :)

Chapter 12

The chapter talks about career choices and making the right decisions. It is very important to plan out which career path you may want to follow early on. By having a clear career path early on, it can save you a lot of time and also money in fact. Some guidelines on choosing a career is to pick something that you love to do and can see yourself doing for a long time. It is not all about money. It is more important to choose a career where you are passionate about. If you are unsure of what you want to do in life, there are plenty of resources around campus that can help you choose. Make sure you take advantage of these resources.

Peer Mentor and Senior Interviews

The interviews were pretty cool and interesting because we had the opportunity to learn more about how is it like as a Peer Mentor and being a senior in college. We did the senior interview first and we interviewed Matt. Matt majors in English and is an aspiring teacher and writer. What I learned from him is that it is highly recommended to get involved right away because it will definitely help you have a better college life. You can be either involved in Greek life or student clubs. It is also important that you know how to balance your social time and academics and work if you have one. After Matt, we interviewed Natalie and she is a Peer Mentor. I learned that being a Peer Mentor can be really beneficial because not only you get to help other people but also you gain experiences that will help you in life. You also know more people by becoming a Peer Mentor.

Chapter 11

The chapter talks about money. It is important to keep track of your money and learn how to manage it. Money doesn't just go from trees, you gotta earn it and work for it. You just don't want your money go to waste. A budget can help you learn more about your spendings and save you money in the long run. It is important to learn how to use money wisely because if you keep buying and you don't even need it, you will eventually get broke.

Manny "Pacman" Pacquaio

This guy is a legend. A hero among the Filipinos. His recent fight against Miguel Cotto proved everyone once again that he is the pound for pound champion of world. He is simply a beast. No one can stop him. I just cant wait for the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight. Floyd about to get his first loss. Manny keep doing your thing and make us Filipinos proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

CODMWII

A lot of kids got this game already and I actually have it too back in SF. I mean gamers waited for years for this to come out and I dont know but for some reason, I didnt even try to play the game even though I had it o.O. I enjoyed people playing it though and it looks awesome. I suck in shooters anyways but i wanna get better and get those headshots lol.

Rainy days

I used to like the rain but now I start to hate it because I dont like getting cold now and my pants getting wet. I dont like the feeling where the wet clothing touches my dry skin, its soo cold lol.

Your Journal (10)

Evaluate your Sleep

In the last couple of days one thing is for sure, my sleep has been messed up lately. I dont know but for some reason I can't go to sleep whenever I want to. I usually can sleep right away but now I need to waste about an hour more staying up before I go to sleep. Even I am so tired I still can't sleep right away. And also sometimes, I oversleep and have to rush for the lost time. I want my old sleeping habit to come back.

Know Yourself (10)

Do I Abuse Drugs?

I took this test and for all the questions, my answer was no. It was all no because I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. Even though there are a lot of temptations in college, I managed to discipline myself and live a healthier life.

University Conversation thingy event

So a lot of the MUSE classes went to this event wherein the provost and the president talked about themselves and answered a couple of student questions. The meeting itself wasn't a meeting that I was expecting. It was less informative. I looked around and people were sleeping then they wake up when people are clapping then go back to sleep. It was funny. The best thing in the meeting though was the food. They were delicious.

Timed essays

Soo last Wednesday we had another timed essay for my English class. A lot of people hate them because you gotta work under time constraint and I hate it too. But as I do them more, I tend to like them more now because it will prepare me for the English finals. Timed essays will force your brain to think fast and put all the ideas together. They can be annoying but its all practice.

Editing

Editing video clips and combining them all to make one whole video can really take a long time. You do a lot of trimming, transitions, effects, audio and basically making sure everything goes in place. It really takes a lot of patience if you want the product crisp and clean. Hard work will definitely pay off and it can also be fun if you allow it to be.
