Guess what? I don't have one. School's over but it doesn't seem like it because I'm participating in the IIDC, a national debate tournament. Not that I regret it. In fact, this already takes some semblance of vacation for me because in two weeks time, I'll be leaving for practicum and staying in a far-flung area for one month. Where this place is, I do not know yet. The practicum organizers said they'll announce it on Wednesday next week. I do hope I get group mates whom I get along well with. It's not that there are a lot of people I don't get along with in class. It's just that, I want to be as productive as I can be and having someone who can't seem to work well with other people could be a hindrance to my performance and even the entire group's performance. I know, it sounds selfish. But what can I do? I'll be stuck with my group mates for one whole month under the same roof in a place I'm not very familiar of and the worst thing that could happen is us not getting along well with one another. I just want my practicum to be fun.

Ever since the start of the second semester, I had been looking forward to this day. The reason for it being the fact that this would determine my fate this summer. Finally, Kuya Reg, the overall coordinator of the Dev Stud practicum announced the groupings and places of deployment. I'll be going to Batangas next Wednesday and shall be staying there until the 25th of May with my pals Dona and Monette. Yup. You read that right.  For some weird reason, it just doesn't seem real because I was expecting I'd be grouped with someone I'm not exactly friends with. The coordinators must have realized that we would be more productive working with our friends. I guess that means my batch is lucky.
