You have to sacrifice for pleasure. tsktsk.
Nothing more would fit into that statement than my enrollment yesterday. It was my first time to pay tuition on my own. [technically, i have my dad waiting for me outside] It's a bit empowering though. :) At the back of your mind, you'd think.. 'Gees..I'm doing things on my own." Then that sense of pride would totally be eradicated after a few calls from your parent asking you how your doing.. Is the word TRUST even in their vocabulary??? Before the enrollment, I had a college briefing in our own college building. Nothing special about that. I arrived exactly 8. To my surprise, only 5 seats were left. I sat beside parents of other tourism freshies.
My dad is nowhere to be found because he stayed in the car. Apparently, it was raining so hard and he cant get out. So i spent almost 2 hours pretty much looking at my cellfone[there was no signal!] and checking my watch. I received my Form 5 there.[that's where you'd see your enlisted subjects] My PE got moved to a TF schedule..and i lost my Kas1. I got 15 units all in all, but my dad insisted I get 18 units. which meant 1 more subject for me.
Next destination was the Palma Hall. I was lucky to arrive there early. There were a number of people already there, but not so much that I have to stand. I met new faces. It become almost a necessity to go and talk to somebody because you wouldnt want to spend your time waiting, talking to yourself. :) I forgot their names. All I know is that I was sandwiched by two gay guys.. friendly but they talk a lot.. tinalo nila kadaldalan ko.
After waiting for more than an hour.. i received my form 5A. [that's the final list of your subjects] after having them evaluated, i can now pay my tuition. Too bad, it was past 12 and the personnel's lunch break. and so my saga continues.. I've wasted another hour waiting..talking to people..getting hungry and bored as ever.
The whole process took 5 hours, 2 from the briefing, 3 for the enrollment.. only 5 hours..[only?? hehe] but it felt so much longer than that. I was undeniably exhausted that once I finished I badly wanted to dig in into a feast and celebrate. I think you'd just forget how tired you are once you realize how much money you'd save. I guess, the 5 hours of sacrifice was worth..to think that you've saved your parents burden.
Oh.. My dad told me he's proud of me later that night..that's the first time.. :)
