While I haven't been to UP myself, I plan to go there tomorrow. But then again, I still know that I did pass at my first choice - which is MBB... so, I am very enthusiastic, and ecstatic with joy.
I am glad that most of our batchmates passed... There are also a lot of us at MBB... While it is a relief to have people you know as your block mates, there are a few things that need to be considered...
We students taking up the MBB course would be in block sections... We would all have the same schedules, and be with each other for 4 or so years, for the duration of the course. While this basically ensures that you'd never miss them because they are your block mates, you would have less time and freedom to meet up with your other batchmates who are in different campuses, colleges, or even courses. UP (Diliman) is such a big place, and we would have little free time, so that means we have lower chances of meeting up with our non-MBB friends. But for me, I am sure that I will see my friends again... That's what friends do... FInd ways to get to talk to each other again...
And, as for the MBB course itself... I'm sure it has a reputation in our batch... because of a teacher who graduated MBB... I'm sure it would be exciting to have new experiences with batchmates you didn't get to know in high school... And, we don't really have to be STR teachers. The STR unit never really was in short supply of STR teachers... As for me, I'd really like to be a doctor... I hope I get to be an oblation scholar, or qualify for the intarmed thing...
So, for all of you guys out there... I hope you were able to achieve the courses you put as your first choice... and, even if you're not decided on going to UP, I hope that I'll be able to see you again after graduation. I hope that you'd be happy in your particular course. And, don't worry... wherever you end up, you'll be certain to meet your friends again...
Until then... we still have to deal with STR, and our (MBB) STR teacher... and the upcoming events... and the constantly decreasing time we can spend with each other...
P.S. Excited na ako mag-camping! I want to learn how to cook... Pity it's after the YMSAT though... May STR pa...
