I just had my routine guidance interview this morning, and the INFP thing is not really surprising. If I'm not mistaken, I learned this from emode a long, long time ago. I'm not saying the interview was useless, it's always fun to know how people try to understand and interpret you. Sometimes they're oh so right, other times they're just dead wrong. For the most part though, the counselor was right... I guess. :P And as always, she was fun to talk with. :)
Anyway...
Thesis time can really draw out the greatest fears and doubts from any poor student who is not, and never will be, entirely convinced that CS is the right thing for him/her. :(( Yeah sure, I'll do all I can to get through it. I want to graduate, after all. But I am _so_ dreading the next few months and I'm pretty sure that by Feb, I'd feel about two hundred years older. Ugh.
But no, no! I am a hopeful, optimistic, positive person!!! (According to that guidance test with the picture-storytelling thing, anyway.) We can do this!!!
Not to mention... the magic number: 3.6999999999 or 3.7 for short. I think this semester will end with a lot of bitterness and frustration for me. Hahaha. All because of some hard lessons learned from last sem, one of which is... I'd be much better off with a degree in Core and a minor in Dubbing.
*I need a hero!* CompSAt GA02 hangover.
Ooooh! Let's talk about my teachers for this sem. They're really interesting, since I only got the "tira-tira" during reg.
PHILO 104: Fr. David. You'll feel only either of these two during class: calm/bored/sleepy/but-CANNOT-yawn-or-slouch, or sobrang-stressed-shet-kumukulot-na-ang-buhok-ko. Neither feels good. The thought of being exempted from the final orals is the only thing that convinces me to wake up every morning so I won't be late. And may I say that cutting is _unthinkable_ unless you want to write a 1-page cross-referenced single-spaced "absence paper" due the next meeting. I can go on and on about other stressful and hair-threatening policies in our class... But a surprising thing is, sometimes you actually enjoy his lectures. Most of the time, what he says makes real sense. Yes, he stammers and all, takes phone calls in class, but he has this way of making the whole class laugh while keeping a straight, expressionless, and unsmiling face. Basta, enough about him, I'm sure there's lots of other opportunities to blog about my exciting philo adventures in the coming days.
THEO 151: Tessa Rosana. (She reminds me of someone. I'm not sure if it's my lola.) Mostly lectures and reports, but the good thing is, she's one of the few teachers who really exert effort to include students in a discussion. I think we're delayed wrt the syllabus, but it's only because my classmates ask a lot of generally interesting questions.
POLSCI 100: Ramos. The Berch classroom is really conducive for late afternoon naps. Ihehele ka pa ng carolers na palaging nagpapractice sa katabing room. Anyway, okay naman ang discussion, pero andami ring pinapabasa. May potential naman to be a good and enjoyable class, nakakasira nga lang talaga ang classroom. Nakakainis nga lang pag current affairs na ang pinag-uusapan, kasi wala pa rin akong interes na alamin ang mga nangyayari sa Pilipinas. Oo nga, shame on me. Hehe.
HCI: Rodrigo. Yeah, it's one _cool_ class. Interesting activities, at masarap ang mallows! HCI is one aspect of CS that really appeals to me, so far... Hehe. Yun lang, there's not much to rant about.
PSYCH 110: Joy. Hyperactive classmates. The GDs are fun, but the lectures can be quite boring. Panget din ang classroom, madaming insekto! Madaming readings, pero pwedeng pagtiyagaan. Maam Annette is a mystery I'd like to meet someday. :P We're a bunch of CS seniors in a room full of younger Psych majors -- sometimes I can't help but feel so old and un-psychish.
THESIS: No comment. Hi, Zippy. :P
There are so many things to do... :( So many movies passing me by.
