+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>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 <strong><i>IT WAS ALREADY FULL!</i></strong> 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.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>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. <strong><i>GAHHHHH!</i></strong> I'm too much late yet the printing line is still have long queue.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>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.</p>
+ <p>will continue later after dinner...</p>
