halloween graduate
November 6, 2007
I had a very weird dream last night.
It was all about my scholastic cum career path that’s been giving me some helluva stress ever, ever since. Here’s how it goes:
I was looking for a way to get inside De La Salle – Manila Campus to talk to the registrar’s office on how I can go back to school after two and a half years of absence because I realized that my life is getting nowhere.
I at least finished 2 years of Multimedia Arts courses but just decided to continue the remaining units at the PAMANTASAN NG MAKATI, which I did during those 2 yrs of being on LOA. Seriously now, I have nothing against public scholastic institutions but having a degree on a non-conventional curriculum under this particular school already limits the student to mediocre facilities and dated infrastructure as compared to a private organization.
Hence, I scoured the entire school after luring the security guard that I am there to get my “diploma” just to give the impression that I am an alumnus. I entered the campus and saw a shanty-like environment where the staffs are in their soiled casual attire and the registrar, upon opening the office door, was still toweling her hair dry after a shower.
I was flunked by several people that I know. One of them is a friend who sells barbecues along South Ave and her husband who drives tricycle for a living. I really don’t know what there roles are but they’re just there.
And I snuck out of it all as I awake. Meaning? Maybe I’m just too graphic about how educational background affects one’s chances in landing to the best future possible.
It is 645am. First November office day.
Before totally leaving the house, I took a peak at my diploma to see if the name of the school that’s written there is a De La Salle Institution and not anything else. :p
Harhar.
