ON SHIFTEES AND TRANSFEREES
another issue has been raised in the geography forum of peyups.com the gap of geography majors in all year levels, which raised the issue of original majors and shiftees and transferees who more or less use the department as their "stepping stone" to their UP dream or the department has become their "last resort" in order to stay in the university. i for one is guilty of the latter. i admit geography was my last hope (i like to use hope, since resort just gives it a negative connotation) to remain in UP. i know it was my fault for not being able to live up to UP standards when i was in my previous course, but i think i have paid enough for my mistakes, need not to elaborate further (i'll leave you with your imagination). But let me redeem myself, when i got accepted in the department, i had only one thing in mind and that is to just concentrate in my acads and just get my degree, take up my masters in a totally different field, and start my life from there. Cruel Intention right? but after a semster in geography, i realized, hey this isnt that bad, this isnt the worst course in UP, this is actually the course that suits me just perfectly. :) i started college a bit earlier than the rest so i just filled in whatever course the rest of my class were gonna take up. (talk about major peer pressure) my affair with geog started during my grade school days when i was havin a love and hate relationship with the aztecs and that irritating windmill picture in sussex, England.. haay and what's more ironic was that as i browsed through my old report cards a few months back, Geography was my highest grade in all the years that i have stayed in SHS. funny how God gives me subliminal hints.. hehehe but hey im not insinuating that i am destined for Geography, maybe i am, maybe not, but whatever the big guy has instore for me, i'd gladly accept.. Geography for me now isnt just my way of getting my UP degree, but this is how i plan to live, breathe geography, live geography and dream geogrpahy. i simply love geography, and i will continue to be a major not just by name but with my whole heart. another majorwho is my classmate in one class told me "kaka-shift mo lang pala sa geog, ako graduating na pero mas active ka pa sa dept. kaysa sa akin" i was dumbfounded, i didn't know how to react.. but nevertheless i found that flattering. All those mistakes that i had committed, are my best accomplishments so far (ironic eh!) this is what made me the person i am today, stronger and wiser i may say. a lot more prepared to face the challenges this world's got to offer...
