Habang nag aabang ng ibang gagawin para sa thesis namin, at dahil nakikigamit ako ng wifi ng kaibigan, naisipan ko balikan ang mga sinulat kong artikulo this time last year.
Nakita ko ang blogpost na patungkol sa unang dalawang araw ko sa ikatlong taon ng kolehiyo.
binasa ko ito. Nakita ko na napaka dali ng buhay kolehiyo kung wala ka pa sa huling taon. petiks. Salita yan na di alam ng mga kapwa ko Senior students ng Journalism.
OJT at Thesis sem to. lahat ng tao stressed sa paghahanap ng ojt pati na rin sa pagtapos ng thesis na may scheduled defense sa unang linggo ng Agosto.
Ako? hindi ako naiiba sa mga kaklase ko. nakahanap na ako ng OJT, pati, inaasikaso na din namin ang thesis namin. Konti na lang, matatapos na ito.
Mababasa mo sa iba kong blogpost kung kamusta ako sa OJT ko. masaya naman buhay intern eh. Hindi lang talaga halata.
Saan ba ang punto ko ukol sa post na ito? hindi ko din alam. hanggang dito na muna. medyo pagod ako...

Expectations vs. Reality
We have all experienced this at least once in our lives. And for those of you who are reading the first few lines of this blog post for further understanding of what the title is about, let me enlighten you:
Expectation-Reality is when you crate a picture of an event or of a person in your head before you meet them. Thereby, creating an "expectation" for yourself. Reality, of course, is how the person or event or thing actually appears.
For example. You expect the trip to the dentist will be painless and the dentist is a very nice lady who won't use the scary dental drill. When in reality, the dentist is a heartless creature created by God to torture you and your teeth with the scary dental drill.
Sometimes, expectations and reality can be very far apart. and sometimes, it's just right. In example, you expect that school would be boring. when in reality, it is boring. (I'm not pertaining to a certain professor's class, mind you.) Sometimes, you are just correct in your expectations.
Now, what is the point of my writing this post about expectations-reality? My point is that, I seem to have encountered it today, on my first day as an intern for a local newspaper called: "The Daily Tribune".
I expected to be busy in the office, finding facts, typing articles for school etc. Instead, I am given a few hours to be very lazy. They are even nice enough to let me use their internet. and for what purpose? Why, personal of course! They let me go online. In fact, I'm writing this post from their computer now.
But they did tell me that I will be sent to events and such to be covered for the paper. I then write news about them. and I have to be really good if I ever want to meet the 20 article quota (which, by the way, is ludicrous according to my supervisor.) But I'm not even thinking of the articles anymore. Just the 200hours I have to finish.
So what is my current expectation? I expect to finish the 200 hours by Mid-September. The Reality is still pending, but I hope it will be fine.
I think I'll log out at 5pm. Go home. Eat my dinner. start on the thesis, and then turn in for the night. But then again, these are all just expectations. The reality? well... I'm just hoping they're going to be the same.

Last two weeks
Three months. That's how long this summer was. Now, I can go on and count how many days it's been. But I'm too lazy.
I could also give you a summary of what I have done with my life in that past three months. After all, it must be interesting because I haven't posted much.
Well, on that note, you are very much mistaken. If I were to make a summary of the past three months, it would probably lead you to unfollow this blog. Because all I did was sleep till 10am, stay up late looking at funny cat pictures online, and occasionally, stay up till 3AM, trying to meet the client's deadline.
Yeah. being a writer is awesome as fuck. But let's not talk about that. let's talk about the remaining two weeks of "freedom".
When I realized I only had two weeks left before going back to University, I kinda felt nervous. the same nervousness I felt on my first day as a High school Senior waaay back in 2009.
How is this any different than my senior year in high school? well, for one, after this year, I'll be diving into the confusing sea which they call "The Real World". It's kinda like a video game, only real. It kinda scares me to be honest.
of course, regarding my last year in college, I have expectations. Here are a few of those expectations:

- Less Sleeping Time. I plan on working double time for the Thesis. No, I'm not the leader, but just because I'm not the leader doesn't mean I should get 10hrs of sleep while he does all the work.
- More Stress. On the Job training. this is what all seniors dread. I'm not an exception. I'll be looking for a company crazy enough to take me. I hope I find one.
- homework. I expect we'll be having more homework this year. *sighs*
