PRE-HELL WEEK

as the title implies, it's not yet finals week but we've been going through a lot already :( emotional stress, physical, and cognitive stress :( but hey, i can still manage to SMILE bigtime :))

i just want to share what happened last week and what is happening this week that adds up to the stress we (as a block) are experiencing.

so firstly, we have our OD Defense. this is done by group. we were assigned an international company to research for, look for underlying organization problem, and write a project proposal stating our proposed intervention program for that company. aside from the written proposal, we are to defend ORALLY what we wrote. 2 groups will defend per meeting. the order of the groups to defend was distinguished randomly through draw lots. unfortunately, our group was the first. :/

consequently, due to really a lack of time, we would stay up late online discussing about our interventions, how it will solve the problem of our company, who in the company will benefit that intervention, etc. aside from staying up late online, we would stay in school even after class to discuss among ourselves the progress of our program. there was even a time when we were in the Lover's Lane when suddenly all the lights in the campus went out: CLOSING TIME. paaaak! we ran for our lives! hahaha! and me and my groupmate, Jonela, who is also my company going home (bec we both travel by LRT) were almost disallowed to enter the Legarda station bec they're closing already! but luckily we were still allowed when we asked the guard there ;)

anyway, that was the time when i slept for approx. an hour because i still have to study and practice my part for the presentation.

the defense was not good, i mean, it was fine though. our prof wasn't that harsh, or maybe bec we're just the first. haha i wasn't able to say everything i practiced bec i feel like having a slight mental block out, i'm tensed and i lack sleep and just stressed. but hola, it was done! we're finished! IMAGINE OUR JOY WE DON'T HAVE TO STAY UP LATE FOR THAT OD THING AGAIN!

my barkada!


our OD group! :) i already miss our after-class meetings and online meetings and everything!


so happy we're done!!


we usually have lunch at university scoop (located at P. Noval) before working on our proposal :)

next stressor: TEST CON. our task for Output 6 is to do the item analysis from the "surveys" we administered to 100 participants. unfortunately, after doing that item analysis thing, out of 80 items, we only got 22 good items. :( our survey wouldn't stand with that number of good items so our prof asked us to re-run. RE-RUN WTF. another 100 participants. another photocopying of 100 copies of the answer sheets. another GASTOS. hahahaha but the second run was definitely better than the first. we now have 46 good items #thankyouLord :) and as of now, we are to submit Output 7, 8 , and 9 on Thursday. three outputs in one date. DIE. lol LIVE LOVE LAUGH :)

oh and another stressor is our case report for Clinical Psychology. next week will be the last week of regular classes so the deadline for our case report will definitely fall any day next week. current status: i have a prospect client but i haven't met him yet, and his disorder is somewhat vague :/ but i'm grateful, really, to my Bhe because if not for him, i wouldn't have a client. i'll try to work things out for that.

and our GD activity! oh i don't want to talk about this bec we were really not prepared for this. our proposal for the activity wasn't checked yet when we facilitated the activity that's why we really have no idea if we're on the right track. nevertheless, we're done already and it was pretty successful from the sharings of our blockmates :)

haaaay a busy busy week! more things to do but time keeps on getting shorter!! 3rd year college is coming to an end!! we can do this! :)
