University orientation

Written in 2025, 5th of August

These past four months of vacation I wake up by 8 or 9—sometimes near noon—so my body was not used to wake that early. I kinda feel dizzy, even though I slept for 5 hours (which is I think enough for a teen guy). We leave by 7:45, there was a heavy traffic so almost an hour was spent until we reach the jeepney terminal, usually it would only took 30mins.

It was my first solo-commute on a jeepney, so I'm kind of nervous. Before, when I ride, I always have someone like a previous classmate or a friend. Now, it was only me.

The first jeepney I rode, the process went smooth. After landing to another terminal, I asked one of the jeepney drivers and asked what jeepney to ride routing to the university. He pointed the jeepney nearly leaving. Fortunately I ran and ride, but IT WAS ALREADY FULL! I need to go off but the driver shouted to me that I should go to the front passenger seat instead. That was the first time I sat on a jeepney's passenger seat lol.

The orientation should start 7:30 in the morning, and it's already 8 but I'm still at the jeepney, I'm anxious that time if I could still enter the gymnasium.

Once I entered the university, I go to one of the business stall to print the COR (Certificate of Registration) of my friends. They're already inside and not allowed to go outside. GAHHHHH! I'm too much late yet the printing line is still have long queue.

I still able to enter the gymnasium, and it seems that they already started just a few minutes ago I guess (FILIPINO TIME). At the end, the COR was not even used by them, I just wasted time and money lol.

I'm at the most back mixed with other department. My department is at the front. The orientation lasts for 5 hours, from 8 to 1pm. I haven't talked to anyone there for straight five hours, it sucks that I can't even start a simple conversation. I felt the hunger and thirst that time, I have packed a lunch and snacks, as well a tumbler for water, but I'm too shy to even fill my stomach.

will continue later after dinner...
