Finals Cram + Debate Predicaments
I've discovered something: the only BUSY time in a Mass Com student's semester is the finals. Why? Deadlines. Haha. I'm cramming all my articles, papers and requirements in just a week! Very unhealthy, i know, but i simply have no choice.
It would've been just fine if that was all i needed to think about. But there are so many things bothering me right now! I have two final exams tomorrow, I still need to settle a lot of things with my subjects and at the same time, all the debates waiting ahead of me is just making me really impatient.
1. On the 20th, we're bound for Baguio. But we still have to cram our practices the week before that. Some people have to go home, though, including my partner... so I'm not really sure if we're gonna get the practice that we need.
2. We lack an adjudicator! Pluto from UP Diliman said he was willing to adj for Silliman but he still has to check with the UP Deb Soc if it was fine. I hope they'd be ok with it. They should be.
3. I still have to worry about the NYC Debates in NBN. Until now, Sir Melvin hasn't given the letter of communication to the university yet, so there's a possibility that we can't go - which sucks big time because I really want to debate with UP Cebu and ADDU on television.
4. My kids. PSDC is on November 9-14, but until now, my kids haven't registered yet. Only one team is willing to go (mostly because of Chris Tiu) and I just found out that Ateneo already reached the cap for the provincial teams, so my kids just have to get their own accommodations. And to top it all off, the principal of their school might not send an adviser to be with them, and so, I might be forced to go. UGH.
5. Lastly, there's this Mindanao Tour, which until now, seems blurry to me. Noel said we were going on the 25th of November (the date he blurted out when Kuya Moe cornered him one day). If that is so, we're gonna be neeeding the support of the alumni, at the same time excuse letters for our classes. I've been in touch with Lilian Malayang, our contact from Cagayan, but she hasn't emailed me in a while. I wonder...
GOSH... There's just so much I need to think about.
Anyhoo, hopefully I get through this week in one piece.
