Half-full day!

Two weeks ago, at 7:00am, I was seated in front of some business people. Today, I exchanged that early "overtime" for some time off for school. Yeah, I woke up early but it was not necessary to get a vacation leave for today.

Two pre-enlistment stages. The second one was supposed to have been invalidated. I happily found out that the system took the changes I encoded!

The road became a one-way lane because of construction works. To make it to the assessment office before lunchtime, I opted to walk instead of waiting for the jeepney (mode of transportation here in Manila) that would go all the way around. My injured leg was aching again. The walk was slow. The cloudy skies shaded me from the sun. The rain did not fall. I made it in time. I completed the process.

I pre-enlisted in two classes. I planned to ask about the teachers and workload. I found out that my initial choice would be held in a distant building. I received some positive feedback on the second one. Good thing the system validated the changes I made.

I was about to leave my room. My eyes fell on my MRT card (metro transit system). There was a long line at the ticket counter of the train station. It only took me a minute to get in with my ready MRT card. I was downstairs. I realized I forgot the envelope that contains the paper I needed to submit to my advisers. I went to get it. My adviser asked me about the paper.

I arrived at 7:30am for an enrollment that was supposed to start at 8:00am. The filling out of forms started at a quarter-past eight. The advisers arrived at 10:00am. I had to wait. I had a few hours of reading and contemplation. And prayed. For me to finish the enrollment process. I did.

It only rained when I safely back in my office. While I was enjoying my aloha burger and black forest sundae.

My leg is still painful. I can walk. I have just eaten chocolates.

The cup is half-full.

Thank you, Lord.
