My Sophomore Life

This day settles everything. I'm officially a Third Year Student -- well not yet that official since I haven't enrolled yet, but I've officially finished all my Second Year subjects.

So, how was this school year for me?

Well, it was less exciting as compared when I was a Freshman. I had lots of things to do since I belonged to many organizations: The Paulinian, the official publication of the school, Coordinating Board of Students, the student council of the school, Campus Ministry Board of Students, where I was in the Music Ministry, among others. I had to sleep late to finish editing the layout of the school paper, finish the minutes of the meeting, and edit pictures. I had to attend meetings, face people, and act as the leader always. I had to pretend I know all the musical instruments because they had no one to count on to. I had to go on lots of contests and fortunately, I won on majority of them. And that is still under my curricular activities.


Then unto Academics. It was pretty harder than I thought since we already had our major field of specializations this school year. For me, it was Biology. I had fun dealing with the subject I loved but since memorizing was my waterloo, I had a hard time in doing so especially since there are many terms which needs memorization. I had to sleep late drawing the parts of the human body, researching about lichens and stuff, discovering if we could culture carrots or not. I also experienced one of the most embarrassing moments of my life where my shoe was stuck in mud where I tried picking water lilies. It was also my first time holding and dissecting a frog which caused my life so much because I always had fear of frogs. They're gross and creepy. I also dissected a feline together with my groupmates, which was less creepier than the frog. It was really hard for me especially my other classmate who was having regrets of taking such major. In one way, I wish that I just took Math instead of Biology, but since I've started it, let me finish this. And fortunate enough, I still reached the honors, finishing at third spot with an average of 92.38 (excluding the recently concluded Summer Classes).


We lost many from our batch this year alone. From the original 15, now, we're left at 10. Three left for another school, one left for an unknown reason, another one left for a very confidential reason. I'm not into speaking terms with one of my classmates this year -- on and off but now, it's off. The reason is on one of my posts, just guess what that is. But overall, this year was a blast for us. We still are a strong group amid those things.

What else did I miss? Ohh yes. Don't ask me about my lovelife. For the whole year, it was off. The last time my heart beat was when I was first year. This May, it started beating for someone again. And yeah, like any other, for sure this one is going nowhere again. I just can't let it be.

And that settles everything. Goodbye Sophomore Life. Here we go, Junior life. I wonder what awaits me out there.
