Schedule mix-up #1.
First of all, let me apologize for the long gap of my posts. I've been busy doing our Physics project - rewriting and revising it over and over again - and reviewing for UPCAT. Even on Saturdays I don't have free time anymore for the rest of July because of, well, a lot of things.
One of which is the CAT or Civil Advancement Training. It's sorta like community service. For us Caritas Bosconians, we do this during our senior year in high school where we go to a barangay and help a family in that community in any way we can. This year we only go there once every quarter for a whole day, unlike last year where they went there twice a quarter but only for half a day. Plus this year we have to choose a male partner - for the girls, anyway. But boys can choose another boy if they want to. Why can't girls choose their fellow girls? So sexist! Hahaha!
So I went to Group 2 with my best friends and because they said that the Mirabello peeps in Nakatsu already went to Group 2. Our schedule for the first quarter was supposed to be on July 30 but it was moved to July 16 for the ESC trip to UPLB and Rizal monument, I think. Hahaha! All of it was fine . . . Until this Monday or Tuesday I think, when Tr. Tina gave me a letter when we were going upstairs to take our ID picture. It's about the Science Dama training in Amore Academy, Trece Martires, Cavite, and guess when that event is going to be. Yup. July 16. Talagang kasabay pa ng CAT. And of course, the CAT schedules can't be moved anymore since there are a lot of things to do for the rest of the month. Plus, first quarter is already ending!!
Anyway, I thought we were just going to have a make-up session of CAT, so Eminence told Sir Allan about our event on that date. (Yes, Emi got the letter too, as well as Meg and Jericho.) Earlier today during our CLVE class we had the finalization of groupings and partners for the CAT. I told him about the Science Dama, and he told me that if I can't go to the CAT on July 16, I'm gonna have to be in Group 1 FOREVER. So yeah I was like . . . Whoa . . . But I told him that I'm gonna go to that Science thing, and I swapped with Ruth to be in Group 1. Thanks, Ruth! And thank you Krippen :>
Now, Meg, my friend, my partner-in-crime, one of my rivals in academics :)) This is for you. These are just some of Eminence and my reasons:
a) ASEP (the Science Dama training) is a once in a lifetime chance, while CAT is for four days the whole year - and we might have CAT during college.
b) It's a chance to experience and appreciate a new game (dama) and learn the mechanics of it. It might even be useful for college. (Wew, puro college.)
c) It's not actually a chess/dama tournament; it's just the medium for the competition for SCIENCE. For science! For knowledge!!
d) We're competing there as a team. Teamwork :> So it's not like we have to be really really good in dama. Teamwork!
And here's the main thing. Yes, you're going there with your friends. But if you haven't noticed (di lang to para kay Meg para na rin sa lahat ng 4th year at magiging 4th year), CAT is NOT A TIME TO BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR SPECIAL SOMEONE. It's about helping people in need and teaching them and learning something from them in return. If you're just going to attend CAT for the earlier reasons mentioned, might as well not go at all. K? KUHA MO? :))
I just missed blogging. c:
