Reporting for Duty, Sir!

We went to school at 8:00 this morning only to find out that there’s no Internet connection, thus, we cannot pre-enlist. It was only around 10:00 when the connection came back. Lunch came and we still had no progress. We had our moment at 1:00, when our teacher came to the College Secretary office to attend to us. The connection was extremely crappy at first but eventually got all of us out of the office. Then followed the orientation for our practicum. Here’s OJT 2008 Schedule:

Look, we’re in-housed, and I really didn’t expect something as “formal” as this! I happen to be a leader, and as expected, our team’s (two members, I have) in charge of the NSTP CWTS website. With all honesty, I prefer to work alone, until wWe were oriented by the CWTS adviser this afternoon and I realized how ‘demanding’ he was. Up to now, I still haven’t thought of any good idea on what tasks I’ll give to my subordinates and how to do it. Are there some in the first place?

P.S. “Miami” in my previous post (which also appears in others, I believe) refers to the place where my campus is situated. The place’s actual name is “Miag-ao”, and students have found it quite interesting to use the name of the city in Florida instead. So Crystal (and Hiyono), I really don’t live in the US. I haven’t even stepped a foot there. :faint: Sorry ’bout that.

Well, here I am, back at school. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me (as if it’s my first time) 😆 here but one thing’s for sure: the Internet here at the dorm will surely make me sleepless! It’s summer, that’s why. I’m using the new Aspire right now. I haven’t taken a picture of it yet so I’ll just post my first PrtSc (print screen) of it. Hehe.

Acer Aspire 4715Z

I’m not really familiar with all those. :laugh: All I’m primarily concerned of is the RAM and hard disk drive and perhaps the webcam too. Anyway, I’ll be posting the bare letter I got from Google while at home (oh, fate) too.

Edit [04/14 5:10 PM]: Bought new slippers today for only P90. It’s leather and cool-looking. I just don’t know if it’s as durable as it looks. Two new padlocks and a cellphone/key holder too.
