Just a Ride

I officially dedicate the first post of 2011 on the personal rants that have accumulated in my head  in the past 13 days. With the lack of a social life to comment on, the academics/org has officially taken over for now. And to think that right after the school year ends, OJT will take a huge chunk out of our summer. Definitely a swarm of busy bees we are! 

Here's a rundown of the random musings in the first two weeks of the new year. 2011, if you're going to be like this throughout the whole year, bring it. 

1. I'd like to think that the holiday weight gain has already been lost after the 5k runs. I haven't checked the weighing scale since the fear of eradicating my runner's high has prevented me to do so. But the first run after two weeks of being inactive, it feels like my body and gravity was playing tug of war with each other. Yup, it's definitely hard getting back into shape for cardio. Those attempts on doing the exercise 'Stay Fit During the Holidays!' workouts you find in the magazines have done absolutely nothing.
2. Dorm room still looks like a tornado had just swept through it, with crumpled clothes and random pieces of papers scattered everywhere. If you don't think it's that bad, I'll post pictures soon.
3. Someone thought that it would be cool to leave a couple of apples inside our broken refrigerator over the holidays. And the combination of trapped moist air and organic food is definitely a breeding ground for all sorts of mold and fungi. Not only do we have a broken fridge that stinks of rotten apples, but with hundreds of disgusting specimen neighbors having the time of their lives. Again, will post pictures soon. 
4. Had an interview at a publishing company earlier this week, who wanted me to start the OJT as early this month. I eventually decided that it would be better to start on April with the busy schedule I'm having. Right after, I also had an interview with an ad agency that promised me a super exhilarating yet exciting OJT experience. Now I'm torn between two potential career paths :'(
5. Haven't watched a single movie or TV series, updated my music playlist or opened a book that wasn't school related - which is totally depressing. After listening to the same music over and over again, it reminds me of a monotonous routine. Must solve this soon.
6. KICK OFF - Huge success for our Events Management class! The rains didn't stop the teams from playing their hearts out. And get this, there's a huge possibility that it could be an annual thing =) That's leaving a legacy right there!
7. The library is my second home for now. It's the sanctuary for some much-needed productivity and it's the place you'll most probably see me after my classes. 
8. I might jump on the bandwagon and move my blog to Wordpress. I tried making a blog there before, but I found the whole design layout process a bit tedious. 

Thank you, Miguel Sanchez and my lovely parents for the supply good ol' coffee from Indonesia, which will probably last till June (an average of three cups per day). 

2011, here we go!
