The CSB Experience 2: Still Adjusting

I thought that my new schedule for the 2nd term would do me a lot of good but for the majority of the 1st week alone, I never felt this empty and voided. I don't know why but I know that I should be happy that I have a very comfortable schedule, a 1-2 classes per day, and two days of the school week off. I thought wrong.

For the past four consecutive terms, the schedules of my classes does not permit me to enjoy breaks longer than 3 hours and my most busiest days are usually the mid-week. I've also grown accustomed of having classes during most of the day, as late as 8 in the evening. So it was really a big deal that I need to do something to not feel some kind of void within me.

So it was really much a surprise that the schedule that I chose for myself, became the hardest, of all the past ones I took, to adjust to. I don't know why but I always consider myself a workaholic of sorts, used on going to school 5-6 days a week. I also got used on coming home late at night as well as coming to school either being fetched by my mom's carpool or commute by way of the LRT. A routine I developed basing from the pattern of classes that I have then in past terms.

But this one's different.

I have an 11:30 class each on Monday and Friday, a 2:45 classeach on Monday and Tuesday as well, 2 classes from 9 am til 4 pm every Saturday, and two days off for Wednesdays and Thursdays. I considered this a very fortunate schedule since at the very least I get to rest in mid-week. It'll probabl take some time for me to adjust well to my new time settings but I'm hopeful I can get through this.

So far, my biggest dilemma would be those from Desprin, Colrend, and Frehand. All three of these subjects require art materials that ranges from the very small to the very large. My main concern though is the convenience of bringing one of my most basic necessities to school, a lousy sketchpad.

I know it may sound silly to you but I kinda find it awkard bringing one to school hand-carrying it. Desprin and Colrend requires a 12"by18" sketchpad while Frehand, it's 9"by12". I really need to find some sort of big shoulder bag in order for me to carry my things around without any hassle. For used plates, I could always trust on my old Steidler tube-container.

Then comes the two-day break. I have a break right in the middle of week which is kinda good since I get to rest for a while. I have two days of school in between those breaks so it make me wanna think why I should be happy about it.

I think it's my eagerness on going to school that's making feel uncomfortable with the whole break thing. I'm used on being a very busy guy 6 days straight that it probably took a toll on my body. It now functions on a 6-day workweek plan! Seriously, I really need to loosen up. I mean, I nee to think of something to make me preoccupied but at the same time take my mind off of school even for just two freaking days!

Ha! I wanna slap myself on the face and tell to myself that I'm finally IN MMA! 

It's now time for the hard part of being ABMMA.
