CATHastrophic Mediocrity

I’m going to spend the next couple of weeks working here in the office. And I also have to attend to important matters at school during my Saturdays. I’m going to expect a four-day vacation after work(lucky to still have one) and a full-blown first semester. Still have loans and fees to pay. Have a lot to think about.

The Bitech Magazine has to push through. I’m the Associate Editor and I’m on the hunt for the next editor-n-chief. I hate the idea that I have to give up my being EIC because of some other priority (or maybe because the rules tell me that I should???).

The Philippine Society of Information Technology Students - Region XI (PSITS - Region XI) just had its new set of officers in the later week of February. Elected as VP Internal, I’ll b working with students from other schools. We’ll be having our meeting tomorrow for the SEC Registration, Consti and By-Laws, and of course, the planning of events. I was very disappointed when I wasn’t able to make it to the Samal Getaway last month.

Tomorrow, I’ll also be meeting the moderator of Society of Information Technology Education Students (SITES) for a very urgent talk. August last year, I resigned from Presidency because as a Commissioner I have to abide by the CBL of the UIC COMELEC. It is clearly stipulated that a commissioner is not allowed to handle any other major office in the university. And so, I withdrew from my office.

Speaking of UIC COMELEC, being the successor of Ms. Katherine Dacanay as the Chairperson, I would be held responsible for the approval of the different resolutions in the Legislative Board. One of these is that the UIC COMELEC must have a commissioner from every program. Last academic year, we only have Commissioner Carlo Culanggo in the Annex Campus. It would be unfair for someone to do all the job in a campus. Aside from that, a Deputy Chair will also be appointed. One important thing to consider for next year’s election is how to address a circumstance when a lone candidate for an office did not garner majority of the votes. Last year, the candidates who had this kind of result were also proclaimed albeit they didn’t win the vote of the majority.

By next semester, I’ll also apply for editorship in The Collegiate Immaculatus, the university paper. They once invited me to be one but I never had the chance to submit the necessary papers.

Lat but not the least, my thesis. I’m still having a hard time choosing the title I’ll love to work on. Of course, I have ideas in my head already but I’m still having second thoughts to what project I’ll pursue.

School will be tough this last year of student life, and everybody has to fight tough too, if they want a taste of having a degree after four years. My mind doesn’t seem to work now, and I’m way past my time for work. Have to say bye-bye…..
