College Life So Far

I think three weeks is enough to get the hang of college life, yeah?

So RECWEEK started... for the non-Ateneans who read my blog.. nobody reads my blog but whatever hahaha.. RecWeek is when the orgs start recruiting freshies, or I think not only freshies, to join the different organizations. There are 49 accredited orgs, meaning there are a bunch of other orgs (probably) but are mostly for hobbies or sports. The 49 orgs are grouped into 9 'clusters' I do not remember the names, just one: the Business Cluster, obviously because the ME home org, MEA, is under that cluster...

So I decided I wouldn't join MEA until Friday or Thursday afternoon, since I'd like to know how my first long test goes before I sign up for MEA. They do say that "once a MEAn, always a MEAn" but come on, there's no denying it's EMBARRASSING as hell to join MEA, then not be an ME student in the new few weeks.

What else is there to say about college...

Well, the classes are going well. It is indeed true that the Ateneo only hires the best teachers for us. A lot of them are PhD's or whatever, so they do have the right to be called 'professors'. Oh, but my teacher in Chem 1, I think, is still studying.

The campus is, I've said this before, BEAUTIFUL. I knew the moment I entered that I was in the right place. Hard to believe, but the first time I entered the Ateneo campus was actually... when I was confirming haha. I have never stepped foot inside the campus before that day.

I particularly like the fact that we WALK haha. Some students, like my friend Alex, probably hate that. But you're walking, you see things... it's like a mini-adventure between class. But the sad thing is that about... 60% of my walkings are done alone haha.

The food... JSEC is a given. The food there is great, but an entire lunch costs P100 (P130 - P30, haha because of the return thing). The food at Gonzaga... well I only ate there twice--and ordered the same thing on both occasions. So it's not very good. But it's cheaper than JSEC food. There are other cafeterias (like Manang's) that are cheaper and have good food, but they're out of the way, so I don't get to eat there.

I'll talk about college more some other time. I really doubt anyone reads this anyway. The purpose of this is to just record my college life, so when I'm older, I can look back at these events.
