To describe this day as exhausting is mere euphemism!
The weather was very indecisive whether it will rain or not. I was very uncomfortable the whole day because of the humidity. I had lots of things to do in school just for enrollment.
I woke up early at around 9:30 AM just to be able to exercise. I was already feeling bad that unlike most of the students who were surely in school even before I had woken up, I still chose to skip the morning rush against them and did one hour exercise at 10:00 AM. It felt extremely wrong not to exercise, given the quasi-feast of the day before.
Then, off to school I went.
I’m not taking any course this semester but the ‘Residency’ status. I pretty much arrived looking haggard because of the rain when I got to the new building where the PolSci Department is currently located.
I was surely the first in line for advising, and I knew it won’t take me long because all the adviser had to do was whip her pen because I’m already done with all my course work.
By the time I’m finished with the step-by-step process (which, by the way, I never got to memorize even if I’ve been doing this for almost a decade since my undergrad), the sun was already shining and I felt that I was set on a giant steamer.
I was sweating like a pig, exacerbated by the long walks from building to building. I knew that I might be late for work I’m I had stayed much longer so I immediately left school and headed to Makati.
I was very confident that I can pay next week, because I never felt falling in line since before. Even if there was a late registration fee, I was willing to pay for it just to avoid the hassle of being on a long queue for hours.
‘Lo and behold, I was suddenly informed that the last day of payment will be tomorrow, or later as it is already June 8. And surprisingly, there will be no extension. What the hell is wrong with U.P.?
I was busy devising plans while in the office on how I will tackle this payment dilemma. I felt very resentful that I should have just asked my classmates earlier to pay on my behalf and just let them give me my registration form whenever I see them around next week. I shouldn’t be this hassled.
So, it is almost 3:00 AM and I even plotted my plan of attack later. First things first: I WILL NOT MISS MY ONE-HOUR EXERCISE. Bonne chance to me.
