it’s been six months since my last post. hahaha! i actually expected that to happen but what i did not expect was how long it would have been. anyways, i’m back [welcoming committee, anyone?] remember when i said i would probably detach myself from the real world when the second semester starts, well i did, i really did. i was so occupied with my thesis, not to mention all my other subjects were demanding as well. my ge subject had three long exams and a field trip. i then had to do a learning project [piano lessons--which i really enjoyed] for my psych class and do both oral and written exercises for my speech class. my econ class was not that demanding but i did not have much time to study for the required four long exams [cramming: my partner in crime]. aside from my thesis, the subject that definitely occupied most of my time was the tv journ class. although i enjoyed the challenge of producing documentaries, the experience was really exhausitng. i never expected the amount of time, money and effort one has to devote just to finish a two- to three-minute feature or news presentation. there were days when my groupmates and i felt we were having a field trip of manila everyday. we had to go to quiapo to intramuros and back and to everywhere else that we felt we needed to get footages from. that was just half of the job, the editing part was just as stressful. what if the footages were not enough? what if the voice over and the footages did not make sense together? what if the entire presentation encountered problems during the rendering process? you just can’t help yourself but worry especially if the presentation is a few hours away. after everything that happened, i still enjoyed it–maybe not as enjoyable as i would have wanted the whole thing to be [lessen the sleepless nights and have more time to eat and rest], but i still think everything was worth it…[or am i just convincing myself??? hehe].
now, having read the things i did during the last sem, wouldn’t you agree that i had to detach myself from the real world? oh, correction: i was kind of forced to detach myself from the real world. [need i say more?] haha ^_^
