The CSB Experience 4: The Final Second First Day (And Everything Else)

I know I should have done this 3 weeks ago when the term already started but things got a little out of control and I ended up lacking the time needed to write a very good entry for The CSB Experience.

Well if you ask me, this term have been "productive", given that I have the benefit of time (academically) to focus on nearly every class that I have this time. Most of my classes are set in the morning which gives me the opportunity to make the time useful prepping for PROJ1, finding an image that "moves" me for GRAPDES, putting some a liter of fixer for my film negative in BWPHOTO.

On the other hand, I'm glad i finally have the whole weekend off for me to capitalize on studying the 101's of marketing for BIZ1. Even if it means having to learn how to hit the books again, I'm all for it. And besides, I love wearing corporate every Monday. Who wouldn't? Hahaha...

Before I leave school for good, there's still a couple of things that I still want to do in CSB, things that I haven't. For example, I still haven't tried out whatever's cooking over at the Solomon Guesthouse. I have noooo idea where it is but I'm making sure I could at least see it before it's too late. And just last week, me and several friends from school had lunch for the first time at the much-fabled Chicken-Chicken, near AKIC. We went there thanks to CSB's very own innovative e-CAR (another first!).

Another interesting thing to note, is that I'm seeing people I haven't seen in a long while, many of them from my old FILIP13 class. Those I've seen so far were Mhelay (almost done with FMD), Ron and Donn (serving food at Chef'S Station in Main).

Worth mentioning is Mr. Santiago who's as lively as ever and Miss Portia who I occasionally see somewhere at the 9th, 10th and 11th floors. (Last term it was Sir Rizali, Sir Dangat, Ms. Perez among other ex-profs).

Surprise moment of the term right now, seeing Franzi for the first time in 45 years. He was in a hurry when I saw him leaving SDA so we haven't really had time to catch up with what's been going on. I guess he's been LOA this past year? Just didn't notice.

The challenge for me now is that I have to make good of what I set as my goals from way back. PROJ is going to make or break me as my stay in CSB is at stake here. If I fail, I'll stay longer, but if I pass all the way the home stretch, I'll be done with school sooner.

JULY-AUGUST 2011 IS THE DATE TO BEAT!

So wish me well and I wish you well. This is our time, our experience, our spotlight*!
