The CSB Experience 4: Expectations, Goals, Ambitions, Adjustments, etc. FOUR YEARS LATER

    In less than 2 days from now, I'll be leaving school for good. As I look back to what I have wrote as a frosh about my expectations, goals, ambitions, and adjustments, here's an update if ever I was able to fulfill within four years the things that I want to achieve in this list.

Expectations
-I expect myself to increase my study hours so as not to fail any of my subjects since it is hard to make up for it. Oh yes. Puyatan to the max hahaha!
-I expect my full attention to any lectures given by our teachers. I really have to get myself out of daydreaming, it really sucks bigtime! Turns out it's not so bad having daydreams, especially later on in college. It helps get your creative juices going.
-I expect myself to be fully confident in pursuing lifelong interests. Walang hiya-hiyadapat  kasi kung gusto ko iyon, eh di go for it! I manage to do a few of those "lifelong interests" but there others that turns out to be not so "lifelong" at all.
-I expect a code-switching crisis between speaking ESL and the national vernacular. Oh yeah, there's that pala.

Goals
- My number one goal is to finish my schooling so I really have to take one step at a time. Need I say more?
-next goal is to have my time organized. Since I have a non-consecutive schedule (hindi sunud-sunod bawat araw), I really have to make the best out of it. Kaso it's hard to do to become organized with lots of your free time balancing doing projects and momentary breathers.
-Last is  to make friends with the guys from my block. It's hard to get around of you don't know anyone. And I went beyond the block. Let's stick with that.

Ambitions
-I want to finish college no matter what. Ambitious indeed.
-I want to change my after-school lifetsyle. Turns out that sleep is something I really want to do after coming home from school (if only Facebook didn't exist hehehe)
-I want to make sure that I don't forget anything important. But I did!
-I want to leave my clumsiness in high school for all eternity. Clumsiness will always be with me no matter what. It's in the genes.

Adjustments
-I have to adjust myself from Malabon to Taft Ave. And Vito Cruz and Arellano and Estrada, and...
-I have to adjust myself to the traditions being followed in Benilde.GO REKTIKANO!
-I have to adjust myself to the rules and regulations being placed upon all Benildeans.May the power of the D.O. be with you.
-I have to adjust myself to my different schedules throughout the week. And I have to adjust myself getting 5 hours of sleep to go to school early morning to wait for my 6pm class.
-I have to adjust myself from taking pictures almost everyday and turning them into slideshow movies. I have to stick it to my mind that I'm no longer in SJA. And yet I did, upgraded nga eh.
-I have to adjust myself to get along with people with different personalities.Had a hard time dealing with this reality but everything went well when it panned out.
-Last is that I have to adjust myself to the street life of Manila. I'll miss not going to school because of Araw ng Maynila every June 24 :(

Weird and awkward is how I'm feeling as I'm reading what I've wrote. But I'm glad I manage to fulfill most of them. Strange isn't it?

(By the way, I may not be done with the The CSB Experience past July 2 just yet. I have so many people to thank that I may not be able to write them all in one day tomorrow so stay tuned!).
