academic stuff + rants...

Work and Society comment
I am currently attending this this philosophy class, Work and Society, until the end of the sem. This class helped me a lot in viewing work, especially now during stressful times. Here are some of my comments to the insights raised during class this afternoon, coming from a book, Life Matters by Roger and Rebecca Merrill:
- Myth: Being able to balance everything means all things should be of equal weight. --- Just realized that this is my outlook on things all along. I prided myself on being well-rounded, and kind of hated my life at this moment because I gave up a lot of the things I like to do to focus more on my education. Anyway, our teacher told us that being able to balance everything doesn't necessarily mean that all things are handled equally; there will be times when we have to make sacrifices. Then I realized that giving up a lot of things I enjoyed doing is my sacrifice I have to take.
- Focus on Job ONE --- doing the major task at once will multiply your time instead of multi-tasking. Hmmm... I tried multi-tasking before and I can't help but agree with given statement. Sometimes I do my different stuff piece by piece...natatagalan pa lalo. But I think this depends on what your tasks are.
- Just...Work! ---don't whine, just do it. Hehe, I was kind of hoping I didn't became a whiner despite all the recent posts lamenting on all the things I have to do. I have a friend who's like this...hehe secret na lang. I just realized that whenever there's a major task to do, I always have 10 mins of complaining then the rest is devoted to actually doing it. Nagkakataon lang na yung 10 mins na yun saktong naka-blog ako, hehe.

Also received my work and society class standing...ok naman siya pero may objection ako...wag na lang, magiging bitchy ako to someone (not the teacher) if ever...
***
Nagkaroon ako ng added points sa mathstat test! Yes, buti na lang tumaas pa siya. Kinda depressing din actually, iniimagine ko kung gaano na kami kakonti come class on thurs.
***
Our industry analysis is lagging....partly due to the other requirements from the other subjects. Haaay, isa pang tinik ito...
***
Our production for Eco week (ang dahilan kung bakit di ako makakapunta ng rockestra, damn!) for our batch will be based on major songs sa Grease nina John Travolta...hay, kakahiya na naman ito, pero at least madami kaming mapapahiya, hehe
***
OT: Sobrang natutuwa ako sa ulan (sori sa mga nasasalanta pag tag-ulan)...favorite time ko talaga to...lumalabas ang melancholic side ko....i always imagine myself experiencing the rain scene sa The Classic....pero kinda impossible na ngayon since di ko na dinadala ung violin ko so la na kong props (magegets lang ito ng mga nakapanood)....well kahit naman dati pag umuulan at may violin case ako wala pa ring lalaki....bwahahah

Raul Roco already passed away...*sigh*

salamat at umabot naman ako at least ng chapter 5 sa East of Eden...
