I'm Waiting...

If there ever was a day made for standing in lines, waiting and excessive walking, yesterday was it. My legs are all tuckered out. I swear, I can already feel, uh, muscles developing in them.
I started the day in frantic search for the elusive NGF conference room, going from the Socsi to Kostka. I couldn't find a freaking guard to ask either. I had to pass by the library to cool down from all that walking, and to try asking random personnel. Then I went of and luckily, I ran into Rainey (who happens to be an extremely nice and good person, a sure candidate for sainthood) , who was kind enough to help me hound people for the whereabouts of my room. I felt like an ickle freshie again. We found a manong and he didn't know where the hell it was either, and he'd been working in ADMU for 11 years. Eventually, we found a guard at the far end of CTC who told us that NGF is at Dela Costa, first floor and did we know where that was?

Yes. Hurrah. Rainey, to you I give this blessing: "May you have as many children as the stars in heaven." Now if anyone could be a good parent to all those children, it would definitely be her. I felt slightly stupid afterward, just because I was near Dela Costa before that and was seriously considering asking the lady at the front desk. D'oh.

After French I went to have lunch at the caf and made the mistake of falling in line at the fried rice place where they take for-bloody-ever to cook their shit. Not to mention the sudden population boom in the caf which had me going up, down and back up again, where I saw Victoria. Other lines for the day included the NSTP sign-up line at MVP, ORP for books (20-30 minutes?; Monica waved to me from the line, but I was so out of it that it literally took 2 seconds before it registered), Library for SA photocopies (forever) and up at UP for the jeep(a relatively long time).

And that's how I wasted hours of my precious life.
