Side-tracked

Last year, if you had asked me why I was a Communication major in ADMU, I'd have a sure answer for you. Journalism. Since the university didn't offer a major in Journalism, I felt that AB Comm was the right course for me. It offers four tracks namely AD & PR, Production, Media Studies and Journalism. I wanted to be a journalist. And law school was ever in the picture. My path had been straight. Major in AB Comm, take the journalism track then go to law school. It was a well-planned future. I wanted it. My parents wanted it. So everybody happy.

But fate really has its way of distracting you. Last week, our Comm Theory teacher announced that we had to declare a track by Monday next week. I signed up last Thursday. What track? AD & PR. The way I see it, it's very ironic. Wasn't I one of those who were dead set on not taking the "popular" track? Didn't I want to be a journalist? Would I still go to law school? Even I myself can't point out the exact reason why it turned out this way. Maybe because of my professors? My friends? I don't really know. But one thing's for sure. I am not going to regret my decision. I put myself in this situation so I'm going to have to fight this through.

Who would've thought that I wouldn't take the road less taken.

@mikels: hmmmm. i think so. a lot of people really want to watch the game especially since we're on a winning streak. ^^, and thanks, i really do hope we win the championship this year. if i remember correctly, the last time ADMU was champion, I was in 6th grade! so yeah, i hope we win. and this school year is special to us in many ways. one being the celebration of ADMU's 150th year. and two, this is Chris Tiu's last year to play.
