A Takeoff For the Second Semester

I can already feel that this second semester will be as sweet and as awesome as my first semester. Not that I can predict things a la Nostradamus but the courses I will take this semester are all awesome. I will have new professors and I will be introduced to the other interesting fields in the study of politics. I also have some affiliations that I’m pretty sure will make this semester more interesting than usual. This semester will just be short because of all the holidays and the breaks but I promise to make the most out of it. Actually, I have 18 cool-and-not-so-cool reasons why I should and would definitely enjoy this semester.

I will be having my first International Relations/ International Politics /Global Politics course under the Political Science program. So the name of the field itself is already a debate. What is major major excited. Yay!
Professor Carl Ramota who has a Master’s degree in Global Politics from Ateneo will handle the IR course (PS 182). Readings overload. But hey, he’s an awesome professor.
I will be taking my third Philosophy course this semester. It is a course on Moral Philosophy (Ethics- Philo 171). I’ve been waiting for this since my first year. Philosophy is my first favorite field of knowledge! Finally!
The Secretary of the UP Board of Regents or the Secretary of the UP System Dr. Lou Abadingo will be my professor for a Political Science statistics course. Wala lang. Just so you guys know. And I’m excited about it.
This year’s lantern parade for CAS will be different, hopefully. I’m not saying that it will be awesome but it will definitely be cool. Now, that’s DOUBLE pressure.
Freethinkers UP Manila will have its first meet-up on December 1^st. Yay! Interested? Join!
My dad will be home from Dubai. Not so looking forward to my dad coming home but the PASALUBONGS. Just kidding. But seriously, pasalubong!
The University-wide strike against budget cuts last 25 and 26 was so successful! Now, prepare for the historic youth march to the Senate. Sounds like FQS to me. Re-creating history. Awesome, k.
Political Science practicum after this semester. Excited. Senate and DFA, please.
I will be taking my third course under Professor Risa Jopson. I just love the fact that my course leader for PS 163 (Political Behavior, Processes and Movements) is a graduate of ISS in Netherlands. Okay, this sounds like my future.
Another semester to serve the students through awesome projects. PRESSURE! TRIPLE PRESSURE! :D Time to change my relationship status from single to being married to the CAS students.
Green Christmas decors all over the metro! This is true heaven. Life is awesome like this every December. Greeeeen!
Two more seasons of the OC. Life without them is just plain boring. =))) Actually, that’s not life at all. An episode a day keeps me grounded, calm and sane.
GOAL FOR THIS SEMESTER: Uno for all subjects! All the way! Okay, I mean, NOT PE. But please. Crucial semester.
I just feel good about this semester. Feeling good! Looking Good! One year of CleveArguelles dotcom!
Finally did it. I was able to let you go. I’m so done with you. Strangely though, I feel better.
2011! Another year to look forward to! More awesome years in this not-so-awesome planet. I’m gonna party like its 2011!
JANUARY FIRST. I’m turning legal next year. That day, year 1993, someone great was born! He was later named Cleve Kevin Robert V. Arguelles.

How about you? Do you have any reason to enjoy this semester?

Who’s Cleve?

We had an activity in our speech communications class that tries to check, reinforce or negate (whichever is applicable) our self concepts. Self concept is a combination of what we think of ourselves and what others thinks of us and many other factors depending on the type of theory that you will use.

Written anonymously, my classmates and our speech communications instructor wrote their concept of who or what CLEVE is. I find it interesting. Here it is (My classmates are Political Science, Organizational Communication, Biochemisty, Biology, and Pharmacy majors):

Self concept, eh?

*I hope that Comm3 is helping you or preparing you in a way for law school. I know that you will be an excellent lawyer.

Cleve is a nice, prim and proper guy ... I kinda like guys like you who are not 'dirty' to look at .. :)

Hi! You seem smart and sensible to talk to. I hope you're approachable too. :)

Looks very smart yet actually funny when conversed with.

Hello, Gaaa. I'm not good at this. lol. Well, lurker ako sa blog mo and I love reading your entries. =) Keep them comin'.

You seem to have many talents and I find you smart especially about politics. I hope we can also converse because I find you very interesting. I guess you are funny, too.

You seem to be smart and approachable. You look like my high school friend (except that you are taller)! =)

Cleve ---> Clever. Haha. First impression ko sa'yo, your face was familiar so I was curious about how you talk to people. Okay naman pala. =)

You seem to think very practical and critical. I find it good but sometimes, I believe there are things beyond what we know and cannot be justified with facts. =) I also find you quiet.

I beg to disagree ha, but he's not prim and proper. I have to say among all here in class, I know you best. I appreciate your kind and thoughtful gestures towards me. Kahit na we tend to clash your opinions, silently you've been a good friend. God Bless! -Aaron. =) <3

Cleve! Ang galing mo bilang isang PolSci student. Keep up the good work and keep smiling! =) <3

Very smart and outspoken. A person who knows what he wants in life ... =) But sometimes he's quiet.

You're my idol when it comes to current events and trivias ... =) You're a certified political scientist >_<

Clevey! Hi sis! Nyahaha! Ang kulit mo lang. =) Yun lang. Peace. =)

Wooh... smart and friendly ... though nung una, I thought masungit ka. :D

You're very smart and also socially conscious. We're not close so sometimes i get mahiyain to you. But I think you're a good friend. I like your polo. =) Bev

Being an atheist and having him in the same class as I am is kind of a new thing. But you seem fine, not that I think of atheist as not okay individuals.

You have the potential of being a student leader!

Haller Cleve! You're a really smart person. Pero friendly din naman. =) Aja! <3

Strong. Tibak much. Friend? Not sure. (Haha!) Aral mabuti! God Bless!

Cleve! Cute talaga ng dimples mo. Ang saya mong kasama kasi malakas ka mang-trip. You really have good ideas. Keep it up. Hugs and kisses and love. :)))

I can imagine how sociable you really are .. you look like a good kid. *u*

SMART. MAY PANINIDIGAN. PALABAN. Tatakbo kang sc? Takbo na! =) BLU

This is not prim and proper. Rigggggggght?

This too!

What do you think guys? The one with the asterisk is our instructor's comment. This course is very enjoyable. You get to learn new things that can be applied daily. And I feel so connected to all the topics. This will be one of those courses that I will remember forever. Plus the instructor who's always willing to hear your comments and answer your questions.

Single on Valentine's Day

But if you're single and valentine's day is already there, I think your self concept will be something synonymous to the loneliest person in the world.
