Classes are back. At third year na ako. Damn. I still can't wrap my mind around it. Soon enough I'll be graduating. And for the first time, I don't feel all giddy and excited about it. Not at the moment, at least. I remember how I used to complain on how sick I am of being a student and how I would give anything to graduate in the earliest time possible, get the hell out of the hallways and classrooms, make my own moolah and just live the dream! But once you're getting closer and closer to the "goal", you suddenly find yourself wanting to come up with some way to slow it down for reasons even you yourself are not aware of. Do you guys agree or is it just me and my bizaaaaarre self? Hahaha whatev. Let's not turn this into a serious entry, ok? Ok, good.

I have 4 majors -- including one course-related elective -- and 2 floats (non-majors) this term. I'm a little (or you could say a lot) worried about how cruel this term's going to be. I mean, 4 majors? That's not humane! Lol. Even the floats aren't helping at all. One is related to history which I'm very certain I despised all throughout highschool. The other one is, well, theology. And ever since, I've always felt a bit awkward on my theology-related subjects simply because of the fact that I have different beliefs compared to what they are teaching in school. I find it difficult to absorb it, as well as convey my opinions without, err.. crossing the line. Anyway, enough of that. The majors are the ones I should pray for :)) So let's see:

ADVANDB (Advanced Database Concepts) INTRODB was its prerequisite and as far as I can remember, I enjoyed that subject even though it really gave me a hard time. I'm just not sure if I would feel the same regarding this one. I hope so.

COMPILE (Compiler Theory) I seriously don't know what to expect with this one. The project seems exciting -- the idea of creating our very own scripting language (though I still can't picture what the hell that is) is very amusing. I think this subject is the one I'm going to love and hate at the same time. XD

DIGIMAP (Image Processing) This is the elective I was referring to earlier. One of our prospective thesis topics is inclined to this field so I hope taking this course would be a bit helpful for us if ever we decided to push through with that topic.

STRESME (ST Research Methods) This course is the first of the four stages of the thesis program for the ST Department. The ultimate objective of this course is for us to produce an approved thesis proposal. This includes a lot of mock defense and presentations. Ick. Just the thought of the tedious work combined with the aggravating tension and fear of not getting approved. Blah. I really hope everything goes.. uhm, not too rash. We pronounce it as "STRESS ME", by the way. Lol.

It was really great seeing my blockmates again. I felt like I was somehow isolated from all of them over the summer because I was trapped (HAHA) in the secluded walls of the office I work at. And I missed being in the campus, too. Especially Planet Gokongwei. Hahaha. XD
