| | While I am still here, I shall blog here. It's been so long since I've last posted, and so much has gone on. Happy ones and not-so-happy ones, but we all must have a balance of those, I guess.
So I'll probably start with what's gone in the past few weeks of summer:
Examinations & workshops with The LaSallian
The one organization/ publication I've stuck to and been active in in my college life. :) I decided to run as an officer, for which I was required to take this budgeting exam (tough), go through a press work simulation (fun) (but more of a learning experience, really; compared to past press works/ layouting sessions I've worked in), come up with plans of action and do an interview. Results, as I've been told, are coming out this coming week--and I'm crossing my fingers for it. Then again, officer or not, I'd still be helping out...but, still. Sayang naman yung pinaghirapan ko kung hindi din ako papasa, diba? Hehe...I'm not keeping my hopes up--I admit, there are a lot of publication/ circulation/ publicity/ marketing (yeah, nosebleed) logistics that I still have yet to learn about and get the hang of--but, I will learn, and I will find out, given the responsibility. I hope that's enough for me to make the cut.
Aside from that, we had a three-day workshop just last Monday-Wednesday. Man, were we little--two of us from the Art & Graphics section; four from the Menagerie (features); one (occasionally, two or three) from the Photo section; four (and then two, and then one, as the days progressed) from the University (news) section, and then the Top 3. Oh well, it was fun, nonetheless. Learned a great deal both from our speakers and my fellow staffers--and the fact that I have a long, long way to go in what I do; in my art and my writing.
What a humbling experience it is, being surrounded by such smart and talented people. Really; sometimes I seriously wonder how I even made it in the publication, what with the greatness (seryoso, magaling talaga sila!) of the people who make it up and the same kind of excellence we're expected to perform. I'm not saying this to promote anyone/ anything; nor am I saying this to give a "humble effect"--rather, I'm saying to express how I often am in awe of them, the writers, artists, and photographers that make up the publication. And how they inspire me to do better; to outdo myself as much as I can.
Green Giants
Another awesome project I've recently been up to. We--members of TeamComm and ECES--had our first meeting last Wednesday, and even then I could tell it's going to be a fun and exciting venture. Can't spill much details here; the most I can say is, well, I pray that this is one of the "promising things" I've been hoping this year to bring. :)
There is also another project whose details I cannot spill just yet, but I might resort to auditioning for it instead of being part of the production team. With the weight of our majors this coming year and my commitments with TLS, I don't think I can hold anymore major projects in my hands. If there's anything I learned from last year, it's not to say yes to every project that comes... As fun and promising as they sound. As a good friend advised, "...Kaya mong gawin lahat, pero 'di kakayanin ng oras mo..." True, indeed. It's an understatement for me to say that it's about time I learned to properly manage my time.
Summer!
Uh-huh, and I am officially, temporarily, a Morena :) Hehe. We had a family outing last Friday, where the family and my dad's sister's family went to Club Manila East. It was fun; had a blast in the new Beach Waves pool, where we "rode" the waves as if we were on a beach. Got to bond with my brothers and my cousin--"instant sisters"--too. Weee, I could finally say that I did something 'summer-y' this summer, hehe. Can't wait for the TLS team building, and probably an outing with friends, if ever plans (do we have any yet? Hehe) push through. We'll see. :)
...So, there. Yep, it's been a busy summer for me, so far. And I am savoring every moment of it, ahhh...won't get to do this again once school starts. And, oh my heck, this just might be my last summer before graduation. OMG. No, I can't believe it...after graduation next year, I'll be working???
...Okay, that just goes to remind me--I need to make the most out of the rest of the summer. No more room--no more time!--to waste any of it away.
