Surprise First Day! [Jun. 1st, 2009|10:19 pm]

To my surprise, today was my first official working day as one of the Psychology Department's new Grad Assistant, even though I'm only halfway to officially - and when I say "officially," I mean "ON PAPER" - becoming the new Grad Assistant. So far, we've only signed filled out one document and signed the request of the Psych Dept to have us hired. Now, I'm just waiting for the contract. Until I've signed the document that ensures a 100% tuition break, I can't help but feel anxious. Still, I was called in today to take care of the paperwork and officially start. Save the anxiety for later. Chinky, Mondy, and I also worked out our schedules. I took Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8am-6pm, and Fridays, 1-5pm. That's above and beyond the call of duty since we're only required 20 hours a week. What can I say, I live and breathe MAGIS. GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Since I'm already on the Ateneo payroll, I didn't have to submit all the requirements that Chinky needs to submit, which means I'm getting my first paycheck at the end of June, whereas Chinky might have to wait until mid-July. FUCK YEAH! As for Mondy, well, he situation's still pretty vague. Since each department is only really allowed two, Chinky and I are the "official" Graduate Assistants, holding the title and the Ateneo's paychecks. Mondy is the "special case." In his words, "The money's there, but they just don't know where to get it." Whatever the fuck that means. He's not "officially" a GA, but he'll be getting the same deal and be working the same job, only he'll also be working under Fr. Bu's "special project." His documents are still being processed.

Back at the Psych Dept, Ma'am Jopie asked for a bit of help with printing since Jen and Melissa were out, making her the first Psych prof to officially ask for help from me as a Grad Assistant. Jen gave me a brief tutorial on how to work and troubleshoot the photocopying machine. LEVEL UP! SPECIAL SKILL LEARNED! GAHAHAHAHA! She also showed me where all the "GA Files" were, making my life a little bit easier. Thanks much Jen! :D

After "work," Jen and Melissa wanted to take a drive. They didn't care where, they just wanted to go. They invited us, so we tagged along, except Chinky who had to leave. We went over to Cafe Breton in Tomas Morato to just hang out and relax. The crepes were delicious! I only got to taste mine, the Nutella, but the Adam and Eve that Jen and Melissa ordered looked awesome! There, while hanging out and swapping stories of college and Psych, laughing and making fun of people (:P), that's when I really felt the GA "turn-over." :) Past and future looking at the same Psych Dept together... Awwwwwww... Yuck, nag-moment! GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

-sigh-

I have a feeling I'm really gonna miss Jen and Melissa. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have relieved them of their posts. It's just that things won't quite be the same without GAs Jen and Melissa to bother. I was just getting quite comfortable with that little setup.

Now, we'll be the ones the next set of GAs are gonna bother! BAHAHAHAHAHA!

The daily grind has begun!

an inquiry about ms. eileen tupaz

(Link)

Good day! I am considering Ms. Tupaz as my Marketing professor this semester. I came across your blogsite while I was googling her name. I would like to ask you a couple of questions regarding her :) Does Ms. Tupaz have really high standards/lots of requirements? Is she an easy-A or easy-B+? Thanks! :)
