In Between

yes my dear readers, i know that i am overdue.  but that is life and sadly there were some hiccups lately and i needed a mental health break.  but here i am now ready to provide a blow by blow account of what has been happening in the city of sails (yeah that's what they call Auckland). i have debated with myself whether i should combine weeks 2 and 3 in one entry.  unfortunately, i don't think it will fit.  there's just too much to talk about and i don't want to cramp all that information in one long post. so here goes....enjoy! comments!

Professional Skills Development started this week.  i really do not have the energy to explain what this is but its a program that is compulsory but not graded.  go figure. most of my classmates are from india.  there are some "smellies" but i can't seem to point out exactly who.  ugh.  it's very frustrating.   school is a complete waste of time.  during one of the sessions, the professor or whatever spent about 30minutes explaining the importance of remembering names.  paulit ulit paulit ulit paulit ulit.  its crazy. though, i must admit, i really don't mind the whole lecture thing as long as i get to sit in my chair and space out.  so you can just imagine my frustration every time i hear the teacher say,  "let's count off by 5" "let's group ourselves into 6" pootangina lang talaga, and one time, may nagpapaimportante sa class.  inaantok raw sya.  pwde raw ba mag group work na lang.  yung...

how can one really function when at the start of the year you already feel the blues?  i will not pretend that i am feeling oh so great.  but i will not be a bitch about it either... so here i am. first official work day was spent at home.  it was great, just chilling with my computer on my lap , trying to create mockups.  it was one hell of a task as i am still on holiday mode.  but i was able to manage.  other than a day when i just couldn't get out of bed, work week was pretty normal. so weekend finally came.  saturday, i attended an interment out of town.  it was an interesting commute.  after that, we decided to go to tagaytay.  this proved to be an even more interesting commute since it involved a long jeepney ride (alikabok sa fez galore) and the most uncomfortable van ever.  bongga sa experience.  pagdating namin dun, pumunta kami sa....STARBUCKS!  hahahaha!  i know it was ridiculous. ...
