Late Reg
I always say that I cannot picture myself working right after this school year. I love being a student. But that does not mean I have no intention of graduating on time. I so want to graduate on April of next year. The thought of doing so however seemed impossible last Friday, thanks to the DPSM's disapproval to my request for an additional slot and to the oh-so-inefficient OCS.
The thing is, I'm suppose to have 21 units this semester. As I was having my Form 5-A printed, it turns out that the only remaining class with slots for one of the subjects I enlisted was in conflict with one of my major subjects. Since I so want to take that subject this semester because it is a pre-requisite of one my subjects come second semester, I decided not to have my final schedule printed yet since I only had 15 units on my Form 5-A and instead, I requested for an additional slot for the subject first. Unfortunately, my request was not granted. Ok. Fine. I'll just get 2 other subjects with 3 units since my adviser said that I could take MATH 100 and ECON 131 next semester. The problem though was that the OCS won't give me the necessary form to enter the Cybernook and get the other subjects so as to complete the 21 units I'm supposed to have this semester. Both the student assistant and the personnel in the OCS told me that there were no more forms available and that I should settle for 15 units. They said that it was my fault anyway why I was having this problem. Ok. After having to wait in line for soooo long, they tell me it's my fault. Great! It's my fault that the enlistment works at random and not on a first-come-first-serve basis, and that the DPSM won't grant my request. Oh, and 15 units for this semester? I cannot accept that. Hello? I'm in my fourth year and I need more than 15 units to graduate on time. The worst part is, the people in the OCS I got to talk to were not even being pleasant and helpful. It was as if asking for a form and asking them what I should I do is disturbing them from work when it is actually their job to entertain enrollment queries. I don't know if they're just being lazy or whatever. The point is, they suck, big time. 
After getting all that crap from the OCS, I just felt hopeless. I was close to tears. No. Actually, I felt a tear or two roll down my cheek. The thought of not having even just 1% of graduating on time is just depressing. And just when I thought I was going to be in a really, really bad mood that day, I saw a former blockmate who is part of the Registration Volunteer Corps. I went up to him and begged that he help me get 21 units this semester. The cool part is, he was not even on-duty when I saw him but he helped me out. 
The not-so-cool part is, he told me that he didn't expect me to cry because he's known me for being tough. Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, at the end of the day, I was able to have my final Form 5 printed and it had 21 units. And the OCS told me that I had to settle for 15. Yeah right.

Boro, I know that the chances of you reading this entry are very little. Anyhow, I would like to say thanks. I owe you one.
I feel so weird and different because now my hair is so short. My brother says it's not really that short and it looks ok anyway. I'm just not that convinced. This just isn't what I want my hair to look like.
