The past year, the registration period seems to be getting more and more interesting.

Not to mention draining.

But I guess it's all good in the end.

My day started at 5:30 am. I woke up, got ready, and headed off to good ol' Mt. Makiling. Ah, yes, I miss my mountain. After three hours of travel, I finally arrive... to find the campus lacking the throngs of graduating students that I had expected.

Oh, well, I thought. All the better for me.

Emphasis on the word thought.

As it turns out, I was misinformed. As in three people told me the same wrong thing. The registration period in UPLB starts on November 8, not 7. That's tomorrow, not today.

HOE?!

Great. So my three hour, P94.25 travel was for nothing?!

I went to the college secretary anyway, and, as expected, the Tita Ofel (the college sec's secretary in charge of CompSci students) told me that I couldn't enroll today. I asked her repeatedly if she could make an exception because i came all the way from QC just to pay a measly P40 for residency, blah blah blah, but to no avail. And to make mattersworse, my grades from last sem had not been sent to the UPLB office yet. So I had to go back to UP Diliman, get my TCG, and then go back to LB to enroll.

Argh.

So I had to leave LB 15 freakin' minutes after I arrived.

Perfect.

When I got to Diliman, I actually forgot that I needed a TCG, not a TOR. Blame it on my frustration about the seemingly fruitless travel. So I went straight to th Registrar's office and read the sign that told me that students applying for TOR must bring a 1"x1" picture.

Argh!

So I went back home to get pictures. By then I was hungry (I hadn't eaten anything yet), tired, and hot. And frustrated.

I ate lunch, freshened up a bit, got the pictures, and headed back to UP. Once I got to the OUR, I suddenly realized that maybe I needed a TCG and not a TOR. While I was debating whether or not I should make my forgetfulness obvious and call Tita Ofel, reenforcements arrive in the form of Sara. After a few minutes of texting, asking questions and sighing for another hundred times, my answer arrived: I only needed a TCG, which I can get at my College.

So off we go to get a tour of UP on the way to Engineering.

There, we went back and forth to the CS Department to the Engg Admin, trying to convince the staff to give me a TCG. And then, finally, finally I get my photocopy of the Department's copy of the TCG.

Then, seeing that our mission for the day was accomplished. Sara and I went for Chocolate.

FINALLY.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Tomorrow, I shall go back to LB again. Another three hours of travel. I hope, this time, I'll finally get enrolled.

But good things happened today, as well:

First, I realized that it was good that the reg period in LB hadn't started yet. Otherwaise, I would've had a hard time locating and talking with Tita Ofel, not to mention I'd have been intercepted by people asking for the yearbook.

Secondly, I found that my grade in CS135 was not 3.0. It was 2.0! Weeeeeeee!!! How that happened is beyond me, but I am absolutely not complaining.

And third... Uh... I had an excuse to spend money on choklit! XD

My day, for those interested, partially ended at 6:30 pm, when I arrived home and flopped on my bed.

It shall end officially when I've rested my tired feet on my fluffy pillow, and my head on my sleepy Meggie pillow. I think that'll be in... about 10 minutes.
