yesterday was a disaster. today almost was. i spent futile hours trying to get the PE and the two GE classes that weren't assigned to me by CRS. i exhausted money and energy in vain. the only upside (the best downside, more accurately) is that exhaustion was all i could feel while at it. i called it a day and thought about what just happened to me, and i guess i thought so much because i became paranoid and desperate. i couldn't bear the thought of not getting at least another 3 additional units and of being underloaded. i hated the system. in the first place, the registration wouldn't be too much of a hassle if there were enough slots for all who needed GE subjects and not just those anticipated tri-coll students. and another thing, why don't they process everything on a first come, first serve basis? they had this weird prioritization standard. tri-coll ek-ek. surname-department sched. blah, blah, blah.

the good news for today is that i got my 18 units though the sched is horrible and that i'm already enrolled. the bad news is i still have to worry about prerogs.

i saw donn and talked to mariam. donn's also in cba, he transferred from upcm. we had a little chat but postponed all the how-are-yous since we were both shopping for subjects. later in the afternoon, when i was finally in stq, i called mariam up. i really miss her. we haven't seen each other for more than a year. we talked about all sorts of things: life in college, hs classmates, boyfriends (though we both had none), debuts, gossip, the like. she told me she's been hanging out in a gym. i found it weird. i mean, yum's body is the body of a supermodel. she's sexy, and the right type of sexy at that. but, oh well, if that's what makes her happy, so be it.

i heard the entertainment news delivered by angelo palmones. he said kris aquino is planning to settle down next year. it was nothing, really. i mean, sure, she can do whatever she wants to do. what shocked me though is who her groom will be. cager james yap. they have this ten-year gap and they've been going out for six months. i dunno what got into james. with his personality and achievements, i bet any girl could fall for him. but why kris? i know she's a lot of things but still... she's kris. and another parallel situation: janice de belen and larry fonacier. archie told me. what is happening to this world? urghh. whatever. maybe it's really love.
