Accomplishment

March 19, 2009

English time. As soon as Mrs. Lopena entered the room, she told me that Mr. Luna asked for me and is waiting for me.

I wondered what he needs on me and suddenly felt nervous. It's not something bad, is it?

I went out and saw Mr. Luna on the veranda beside the internet room. He motioned me to come. I walked toward him.

And he told me (in tagalog!) that there would be a seminar in Los Baños about the campus journalism.

And I would be competing in Feature writing English! Yay!

I'm so happy because I finally got out of being stuck in Sports Writing. I'm not really good in Sports, 'yanno? And the three years that I was a Sports Editor was so unreproductive. I think there's a better chance of me winning in Feature writing. Not that I am so good in Feature--all I know about it was it is a free writing, seriously--but at least, it's easier for me to handle that than Sports.

I learned that Ayyah would be competiting for Feature writing Tagalog. :)

But the conflict is, the seminar is on Saturday and our first Saturday mass this school year is on that same day. I even told the glee club to attend on that day, and look, I might not be able to attend at all. Too bad.

But still, I am happy.

Dismissal time. I saw Ayyah and she was in glowing mood because she would be a part in the presscon. But she probably didn't know her category because she was surprised when I told her and she almost bounced in happiness. Haha! We're both jumping in joy.

When we went to the main building, she told me that I was the Feature editor. I didn't know that, and I learned that the result for what we did last monday has come out. I excitedly went to the news room and squealed and jumped when I saw my number (#5) on the Feature editor!

Waaaah! I'm so super happy! I didn't expect that I would be the Feature editor; I was thinking that I would be just a Feature writer since I just switched on that category. But look! I, who didn't know anything about Feature writing, managed to be the editor! Waw!

I feel so accomplished! I wish I would do good in presscon and be reproductive in The Gatekeeper. ^^
