such great heights

First, let me just say that I am very fortunate to be studying at the University of the Philippines. It has always been my dream to study there. I was so adamant at studying there that I didn’t even think of taking entrance exams in other universities (which was pretty ballsy ‘cause that meant I didn’t have any back-up schools to fall on at all) .

My first course choice was Electronics and Communications Engineering but unfortunately, I didn’t pass the quota so I had to settle for my second choice which was Computer Science. I am so glad I made that choice. You see, I love computers. Let me rephrase that, I LUV computers. Yes, I’m a big dork (shut up!). I also wanted to major in Geography but seriously, what am I gonna do with a geography degree? Plus I know I’ll never make enough money as a geographer here in the Philippines (unfortunately).

So far, I’m really loving my college life. Sure, my schedule’s quite hectic but I think that’s what’s expected but I’m having a very nice time. People really dont’ care about what you wear, I feel like I’m part of some big community (having passed the most difficult entrance exam in the whole country), I meet new people everyday, the campus is uber-huge and the professors are really good.
