You’ve read it right! Another new beginning for me. I know it’s really been a long long while since I last blogged - well let me try to correct that once again. I guess the last few weeks of my high school life was just over thrilling and I had forgetting all about the online blogosphere. Those sleepless nights finishing the little thesis research, those endless last day dramas, eat outs daily and all those fun things we all did as teens.
I cannot believe that high school had all ended with graduation; and you know the weird thing about it is that I could not even feel like I have long graduated (one month and two weeks ago). It still hasn’t sunk into me that I no longer am attending the same school next year. Graduation wasn’t even that wonderful but memorable (in a way) - the most unique thing with my batch is that the number of Student Awardees that grow every grading quarter. The percentage of student who receive Academic Distinctions in my batch is about 30% which is quite a lot compared to other batches. Every graduation, these awardees get these distinctions and these are computed based on your cumulative averages from your first year of schooling.
The computation before was 50% for the senior year, 30% for the junior year, 10% for the sophomore year and 10% for the freshmen year - that is if I’m not mistaken, whatever. Anyway, I really do not understand how they start sticking to the rules this year and did 25% per year. A lot of people in the Academic Distinctions list were not able to get their final awards since most of us started receiving distinctions during our Junior and Seniors year. Most of us think that graduation still was a big joke. Imagine how many people managed to survive senior year with flat 90 and above percentages, isn’t this the mere evidence that we have improved performances? The senior year had the hardest subjects (imagine Calculus, Physics and Molecular Bio in one day) and the most loaded drama IMHO. So yeah, graduation = one big joke that my high school had managed to pull off. I’m not bitter or anything, I just felt like sharing my (and some of my friends’) thoughts to be able to discuss something interesting.
Anyway, back to the university. It’s really exciting to be going to the university because I’d be able to finally practice my specialty in computers and learn more about this field. It’s just sad to know that I wouldn’t be able to spend as much time as before with my barkada since we’re no longer in the same school. Oh well - I guess this is a part of growing up.
I’ve also been long gone since I’ve been putting my career together (lol, kidding) - HAHAHA! But I was quite busy with a freelance projects. For one was working with this amazing group of ladies who make their own heels and sell them to the world - visit them DAS My Shoes. Getting full in pink was a tough one IMHO! I’ve also been busy with another project involving the web presence of a Philippine Home Appliance manufacturer. These things really do teach me hell loads of new things. New people, new connections. These all are aside from my regular part time work which involves Networking - which I truly enjoy doing.
This summer, I’ve also been into this series called “Switched at Birth”. I’ve been talking about this lately on Twitter - it’s really good!
Cheers to the New Year! As they say - out with the old, in with the new. Learn to have some change in your life, live outside the box, be ready for more surprises and adventures along the way - don’t be dull and take chances! We’ll this was my new years resolution last year. It still is this year. 2012 was a big blast for me. More adventures, new friends and most importantly no regrets.
The year that passed was supposedly our year - me and my batch mates - senior high it is. Now, it’s just a matter of 94 days before we all part our ways, march onto that stage share the moment with everyone and bid our final goodbyes to the life we once known which was high school. Can you believe how fast the days are?
So, how was your 2012? Did you take any chances, adventures? Any regrets?
