What course, then?

I haven't blogged for a long time, have I? It's half-past midnight, and I am supposed to be studying for the upcoming exam or sleeping, but let me talk a little about what has transpired in my uninteresting life.

Saying that I had been busy this summer seems like a huge understatement. Sure enough, all I did was stay at home and bury myself in books and anime...but there was definitely more to that. The whole time I was immersed in a fairly emotionally draining experience as the first semester loomed and I still wasn't sure what my course (or my campus) would be. Every night I would have a hard time sleeping, and my dreams would be filled by the notion of me studying in UP Diliman. 

And where am I now?

Fate has been absolutely kind to me, thank goodness! I am officially a student at the University of the Philippines-Diliman!

From the middle of May onwards, I was beginning to be preoccupied with focusing on my papers and all those things. I only filed a transfer application at the College of Science; my course choices are the following: BS Geology, BS Applied Physics, and BS Physics. By then I was still filled with my intense desire to be a geology student. However, when we attended its orientation on the 10th of May, my dreams seemed to be shattered. My eyes were opened, and I was able to see things in a new light. Imagine this: out of the 110 applicants, only the top 25 will be chosen. I virtually had no chance - I didn't have a very high GWA, I didn't come from a science course, and I am merely a transferee from UP Los Banos; basically, my chances were fairly low. 

During the orientation, we were shown the usual stuff. I already knew what the geologists are studying and what they are doing. However, it was as though that at that time, the reality assaulted me: while I loved what they are studying, can I even survive the course physically? I knew the answer was a big no. I was beginning to consider the possibility of studying Applied Physics/ Physics if I were to be accepted. Unfortunately, I didn't seem to have better chances there, either.
