my new school! :P

THE UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS

yup! that's where i'm studying for college. it's a co-ed school so this the first time from the last FIFTEEN LONG YEARS to have boys as my schoolmates/classmates. for some reason, things went smoothly enough that i now have guys as my friends. nevertheless, i certainly do have more friends who are girls than friends who are boys.

NEW ENCOUNTERS

• guy classmates who i thought were all gays but they are really not
  
• late professors which i never had before because my teachers way back were VERY prompt to the point that you don't have time to fix your things from the previous class
  
• VERY long quizzes which they consider as a quiz
  
• no projects, i used to have LOTS of them
  
• MANY graded recitations like almost everyday
  
• flooded roads since it is UST
  
• MORE traffic because of the unfinished roads
  
• earlier wake-up time that's at 5am
• NO BREAKS! -- we don't have recess but our lunch time is our dismissal time
• organizations which are really FUN!!! and WAY COOLER than our clubs in HS
  
• REALLY HUGE LIBRARY where i can actually study in because the "silence" rule is strictly followed
• high heels, though my course doesn't require our shoes to be high-heeled but it has to be black
• pencil skirts which are TOTALLY different from the balloon-like skirt i used to wear in high school
• AIR-CONDITIONED classrooms that's why have to bring a jacket everyday.
• SATURDAY CLASSES--no comment
• half day everyday
• shoulder bag that are NOT messenger bags (you know what i mean)
• one notebook--that's all i need
• YELLOW PAD taking the place of the intermediate paper
• CELLULAR PHONES in CLASS--we are still not allowed to use them during class hours but we are allowed to bring them in school (unlike before!!!)
• a MUSEUM inside the University
• a very PRESTIGIOUS and HISTORICAL school
• about 10 cheers for the varsity players who are competing in the UAAP
• P600 allowance per week since we have Satclasses
• NEW AWESOME carinderias around the school
• restaurants and famous fast food chains inside the University
• a swimming which is also inside the University
• AND MANY MORE!!!
  

the enumerated new encounters is the summary of most of it but not all.

that's why i love this school and i'm doing my best to stay inside it with the same course i have now until i graduate with flying colors!

it's awesome. you should go visit it some time :D
