~this is how things work here (or at least, at my school & my course) :

All college courses (and I said ALL) is 5 yrs. long.
On your first year- life's easy... you're a little traumatized coz of the new school... and stuffs.. but life's definitely EASY. On your summer vacation you get tons of school works that you can finish (or not do), it's really up to you, just be sure you don't have any failing (debiti) or any grades close to being a failing grade.. haha! (does that makes sense?)

Second year- life's still easy but not as easy as before... but it's basically the same thing, same subjects, same schedule.. just a little more stressing. Summer vacation= same as first year.

Third year- now, life's harder... I lost some subjects (i.e. science, economics, music and arts) and in return I got anatomy (dreadful!), law (easier than eco), literature, and metodologia. Oh, and there's the OJT (called "tirocinio" or "stage" , here). You also get to stay longer at school, and you have to pass the "finals" (yeah, 1st, 2nd and 4th year= no final exams!) and since you have to pass the final exams school peeps are so much tolerant of you... You can do stupid stuffs and get away with it! hehehe! And another good thing about being on this year is *tan-ta-na-nah* NO SCHOOL works on SUMMER!

Fourth year- as to what I heard, economy is back, but you get to loose metodologia. Still you have to do the OJT, but since you'll be having the board exams next year, you're given a chance to finish your OJT for the 4th & 5th year sa summer ng 3rd year. So you can concentrate in studying this year. School works for summer? Yep!

Fifth and last year at school- I really don't know that much bout this... just that there's the board exam and no more OJT coz you already finished it last year, remember?.

Okei after this long explaination.. I'll go back to the "blogging" hehe!

[goind back to the first topic, which is the half way out to the real world]

last month after my finals I opened a new door, I was supposed to be staying at home the whole summer with my new guitar and a guide on how to play it, but since our psychology professor asked some of us to go to this hospital to do some job (for free) w/c has nothing to do with what I’m studying... and since I decided to go, I am now a working girl with no salary, uugghhh!

Believe me she's really good at convincing people, she said, the hours we'll be spending there will be considered as OJT hours and that it’ll be a good experience, to see what the real world looks like.. So, June 07, I presented myself at Ospedale Maggiore- POLICLINICO, where I work for the hospital's Public Relations Office (URP) to do some Research & to do some valuation stuffs.. So, yeah.. every (almost) single day of the week.. I go on walking to 10 different departments to interview different kind of people, the whole day.. *stressing*

[change topic]

last week my ninong (tito) Alison with my cousin Jerome left to spend their vacation at the Philippines, yes I envy them but at the same time I’m content on spending my summer here.


E-N-V-Y:
Coz I miss the Philippines, I miss the people.. and all..
Coz I want to see Marky's baby, and Aiza's baby, and go on gimmicks with ate tet and ate tess!

C-O-N-T-E-N-T:
Coz there's really nothing to do there.. since, summer vacation down there is over..
Coz I really don’t know how I'll feel going back there, I mean I've been gone for so long..
Coz I still don't have the budget! hehe!
Coz I'll probably feel SO out of place down there..

Reasons, reasons, reasons!!!
