As promised, I'm back after I submitted my students' grades to the registrar. There is a new pile of papers to check this time for midterm though, and I am currently trying to absorb my new schedule. Because MSU-IIT is following a new school calendar now, our semester for masters class starts right in the middle of St. Peter's College's first semester. I'm still trying to figure out how to adjust to the time frames of both schools, WHILE trying to adjust to the shifting of roles (student-to-teacher-and-teacher-to-student).

| Here's an angle of my natural, working habitat. (Well, 1/5 of the time, anyway.) |
I do love my job, however, and I'm still trying (or hoping) to squeeze in my activities and responsibilities in my short days. September is only a few sleeps away, and, not sure if I'm allowed to tell already but, I'm entering this annual city pageant after much urging from my mom (and my dad, sort of) and our decade-long makeup artist who happened to have handled my mom's sister (Miss Iligan 2007) and several other pageant queens in the past.
Sometimes I wonder if all these are actually happening to me right now. Not only is my schedule jam-packed, I also am not sure if I could truly handle this with grace.
Things are slipping as I am catching other things. So slowly...slower than you, maybe, I try to take several steps backward, and probably pick up the pieces that have fallen in my blinded busyness.
Thank You for Your new mercies every day, dear Lord.
