So many things happened to me that I can’t recall some of theme. So I only stated the things I could remember. I might update this in case I remember some things I haven’t posted here. ;)) So here’s my adventure…

I was a Tourism student for SY 2007-2008. I decided to transfer to AMA as Information Technology student for SY 2008-2009. I enrolled there without getting my transfer credentials from UST. I don’t even know what came to my mind to end up with that decision. Maybe I just became too selfish.

When I was about to get my transfer credentials, I had to sign up an agreement that once I got them, I won’t be able to go back to UST anymore. I didn’t sign it up. That’s when I felt that I still want to be a Thomasian.

I contiued my days at AMA, met new friends and professors, but it still didn’t turn out well. I’ve been a bad girl, I think. I cut classes, I make absences, I don’t study for prelims. It’s a boring life.

So I wasn’t able to finish the course in AMA, resulting to wasting of tuition fee. I decided to go back to UST. I explained what happened to me, and told me, “As long as di mo kinuha yung trasfer credentials mo, pwede ka pa mag-aral dito. Lumalabas lang na parang nagstop ka ng isang taon. About sa shifting, kausapin mo nalang yung dean.” I went to the Dean of College of Engineering and they asked for an intent letter attached with a temporary transcript. Three days after I requested for my temporary transcript, I went back to claim it, attached it to my intent letter and passed them. They told me to wait for their call. I waited for weeks and months but we haven’t received any call. We decided to call them. They told us that there were no slots available so I have to wait until next year, SY 2009-2010.

Almost 6 months of staying at home, doing nothing, wasting my time, is a total regret. This is the result of the mistake I made. Year 2009 came, and I decided to fix everything. I went back to UST and talked again with them. They asked for another temporary transcript and an intent letter. I don’t know why, maybe they just lost the ones I gave. Though I’m kinda pissed off, I still passed another one. Yet, nothing still happened.

My parents were losing hope. They want me to transfer to other school. But I don’t want to. I want to pursue my studies in UST. I went back to UST, talked to the Dean, to Assistant Dean, and to the Chairperson of the ICS Department. I almost begged for them to give me slots. I went there everyday to talk everything to them. Until finally, they decided to accomodate me in IT. But still I had to take the Shifting Exam, which wasn’t easy. I still have to complete the requirements for the Permit - transcript of record, good moral, and a signature from the Secretary General.

After the long wait, I was able to get my permit. The next day, examination day, I was totally nervous. The exam was damn so difficult compared to the entrance exam I took. err. I was losing hope that time.

After few days, I went back to get the results. The assistant dean didn’t show me the result but then he gave me an action memo, to be shown to the ICS Dept. chairperson. The chairperson noted that I could be accomodated in IT, signed by the Dean. They gave me a date, finally, when to get my schedule. And that was yesterday.

But before getting a schedule. I still have to fill up the Admission Memo which wasn’t easy. I have to complete the requirements - temporary transcript, note by the dean. good moral character certificate, clearance from Student Affairs, signature by the registrar, and signature from the Secretary General.I waited so loooong but it’s worth the wait. Finally, everything’s done.

The ICS DEpt. chairperson gave me the signal that I could get my schedule. It’s not a hectic sched but it’s an early sked. :(( Well I chose to be in the 2ITC section because I like it sched more that the other sections. In 2ITC, I only have 2 days to wake up before 7:00. In other sections, almost everyday has a class for 7:00. And I hate it. haha. Mr. Santos, the chairperson of the ICS DEpartment (ICS stands for Information and Computer Studies), told me that I could get subjects not only in once section but in different sections. He’s worried because I might have long breaks since I won’t be getting all the subjects. But I told him not to worry because the section I got has my subjects continuous. So the sched you’re seeing above is not the official sched of the section 2ITC. It’s only my sched. 2ITC has 3 to 4 more subjects than me. I can’t take those subjects because I still have some 1st year subjects left which I’ll be taking on summer. I’m and irregular 2nd year student now. And I love it. ;)) And I’m so excited to have summer classes. ;))

After encoding my sched, I was asked to read the enrolment procedure. One thing caught my eye - I should wear a school uniform. Now I was confused. Former uniform or the new one? The chairperson told me that I should wear the Engineering uniform. OMG! I don’t have one yet. I immediately went downstairs to check the ched of getting the uniform. And deym, that was exactly that day and they’re only until 5pm. That was 4:00 already. I rushed to the third floor. And whew, I made it. But then another problem came. I have to make a downpayment. Oooooh. I only got Php 80 left. And they told me I should pay at least 100. Ugh. So I texted papa. WHile I waited for his reply, I went to the other room to claim my uniform. I asked them how much I should pay, and they answered, “Kahit magkano.” Oh. I was like, “Kahit magkano po?”. haha. I was relieved, but I was embarrassed too. haha. But they say it’s alright. hehe. So thankfully, I was able to get my uniform. woohoo. Success! ;))

Even though I have my schedule, my uniform, the confirmation that I’m accomodated in IT, I’m still not confident that I’ll be going back to school again. I don’t know why. Maybe I jus don’t want to expect much. I’ll only be confident and sure if I’ll be enrolled next week. So please pray for me that I’ll be able to enroll successfully with no problems at all. I really want to go back to school. ;))
