quick quick recap of the things so far

   Lenten season: Only one word is enough of a description, bumming. No, I wasn't able to meditate and reflect about life or faith in general. So yeah I was uhhh... I did not take advantage of the quiet. I was normal -watching anime vcds/dvds during Black Saturday and Easter Sunday, w/c set the holiness of the weekend into mere normalcy.

   Monday: First day of summer madness began at 7 in the morning, with Sociology 101 as the first class. I arrived at school with five minutes to spare only to find out that the professor wasn't coming to class anytime soon. While my 11-1pm STS, on the other hand, started as scheduled, and can be described as random flitting images of crowding people, of people talking loudly for the almost painful struggle of finding groupmates.

   today

   At last, Socio 101 prof appears and she seems to be normal and funny. For a second there when I had been waiting for the prof's arrival, I thought I'd be stuck with another one of those profs that err -let's just say I get unlucky with profs sometimes. I got into a decent group in STS and all seems fairly well. I just need to sort out my sched a bit cause things kept on popping up and getting in the way of each other, that the only possible solution to make everybody happy and unstressed is for me to grow another appendage and I'll reproduce an exact copy of myself through fission -or something. But yes, it appears I have slowly settled into summer.

   Earlier, just before heading for SM, Tina and I managed to make a quick pass through the 2nd iBlog summit. We caught up with Dean Alfar's very entertaining and informative talk and got ourselves filled with caffeine and more caffeine thanks to the iced tea. The one thing that stuck with me (other than the errr... very quotable quote I won't mention because later on people would start blogging about it anyway) is that talent could only take you so far (and I don't even have much of a talent to speak of). It's the discipline that gets you through writing (and according to Tina, through major endeavors as well, like ehem loosing weight). And discipline happens to be the thing I am most lacking, as attested by the fact I get tempted and distracted easily by things, which in turn can be proven by the poking flabs hanging here and there in my torso. Yes, a realization. So now as a challenge to myself I'll try to be more disciplined in things, and I mean in all things: money-spending, studies, etc... Really. I'm going to do it. Watch me. ^___^
