Some Elections
Posted on February 28, 2008 at 19:21 Down the Drain
Today was the elections for the student council of our college, the College of Arts and Sciences. As what I said in One Point, I did not vote. Many of my classmates voted and said that they voted me for governor. :laugh: For this year’s elections, only our academic group, Elektrons (composed of Applied Mathematics, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Statistics), has no candidate for the said position, which implies the possibility that we won’t exist next school year. Their reason of voting me is because I used to joke about running for the position.
Classmates: You’re going to win landslide!
Me: Elektrons, never fear! Your governor is here! 😆
In the afternoon, I took our 2nd long exam ahead of my classmates because I desperately wanted to attend my Badminton class. I just can’t imagine myself losing again by default. Taking the exam alone was pretty awkward, not to mention the time that seemed to have moved faster than the usual. Nevertheless, I was able to answer all the items on time. Hopefully, my score will be tolerable. Anyway, when I went to the court, I found out that there’s no class. :faint:

A Week Ago…

Ooh, there’s a whole lot to tell. Without further ado, here I go~
Friday: Persona non Grata activity in my Freshman dorm. It’s an activity where each wing is to have two representatives that will impersonate other personalities. The winner was the so-called Mamita (from the upper wing boys) who impersonated Charice Pempengco. Her talent was a monologue re-enactment of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. She sang and even showcased some talent in acting by portraying her favorite actress, Angel Locsin. It was absolutely funny. From shouting “Aguiluz!” (Mulawin) and having wings to “Darna!” and, ultimately, lying down and shouting as in the current teleserye Lobo. :laugh: 😆 There was also Marimar and Angelica, both humorous versions. 🙂
Tuesday: The Choristers (the singing organization of the university) had their concert “Himig Pinoy: Noon at Ngayon”. As sponsors, we, Tubao (Tubong Mindanao), were in charge of the tickets and entrance. The AV Hall was full. I hope the money will turn out reasonable too.
Wednesday: Busy day. Class in Linear Algebra started at 7:00. I was able to do a “boardwork” at last and, yet again, got a high score in the quiz — 10/10. By 8:30, we, the komsai.org (Computer Science) officers, left to prepare the laboratories for the day’s contests. There was Java Programming (college) and Webpage Design (high school). I, together with our vice president, took hold of the latter. Komsai Week ’08 – Portable Technology: World in our Pockets
Thursday: Went to UP Iloilo City to attend the animation lectures. Blender, an open-source 3D graphics software (appears that the university will never be able to afford those very expensive ones such as Maya), was on board. It was worth the time. How I only wish there were more audience and participants. Anyway, I can’t wait to learn it in CMSC161 next year!
We had lunch at Jollibee and sat by the benches outside the school auditorium thereafter, waiting. Ma’am Halique, our CMSC131 & CMSC124 teacher, was together with us. Two of my classmates bought a Rubik’s Cube (individually) and got tips and demonstration from a friend on how to solve it. Me? Pass. It was 30 minutes past 1:00 when the lectures resumed. The 4th year students showed their works and got quite a lot of positive and slight negative comments. I left by 3:00 o’clock.
When I arrived at the jeepney terminal, I realized that I left my wallet to my classmate. My money was lacking P2.50! What did I do? Well, I’d rather not say it here. :tongue: The purpose of me going back early is to attend my Badminton class. Good thing, for I forgot that it was our practical exam. Ma’am Amy almost killed me. Obviously, nobody got a perfect score. :faint:
Saturday: Strong-willed enough to go to a Badminton court (that has a rubberized floor) in Iloilo for the very first time, I fatefully found a companion — Mark. All my other classmates seemed to have no longer given any interest of going since they already did so the previous Saturday. All in all, I played 5 matches, with the second from the last as the most exhausting. I paired with Mark against that guy whom Mark paired before together with a guy that looks relatively like Neil, a Chemistry student I know. It was already 7:00 when we left the place. We stopped at Robinson’s Place and settled in an “Eat All U Can” for only P58.00! :cheerful:
Tomorrow’s a non-working holiday (isn’t holidays really supposed to be non-working?) — EDSA Revolution anniversary. As always, there are academic activities to do, and I don’t know where to start.
