Day 1 - This is no Joke

Today we shall call upon the name of Father Tony Moreno. The brother of one of my closest uncles. He's the president of Ateneo de Zambuanga University, a campus under the Loyola Schools in the Philippines. He has said Holy Mass at my house. We're calling him tonight for a littler favor.

Get me into Ateneo de Manila Univ.

If I do get in, I will be leaving "the states" sometime between now and the 26th of June.
If I do get in, I will be pursuing a Biology Degree at the best University in the Philippines, and I will be vying for a spot on the Atenean Basketball Team.

I'm not sure if I'm already too late to register, and I am not sure how the whole H1N1 thing is going to work with me there (quarantine of all travelers, 10 days), but I am willing to go abroad and do work. Aside from "the Philippines", I definitely don't understand anything that I am about to get into. Yet, that excites me. And scares me.

What an experience this could be. I'm not even sure if it will pull through, but I hope it does. I'm so excited, I'm planning for it. Bad idea? Probably. But hope is always fun - and sometimes hope works in these situations, right?

I feel like I need to start preparing already: Get a Video Camera, Macbook, Phone, Clothes, Journal, Money. Whatever. Etc. I just feel the urge to go already. See what's ahead of me. I'm already ahead of myself, so let's push it up a bit. Pedal to the Metal kind of stuff.

Might as well prepare you guys as well:

*as for Twitter, I don't know how texting works there, so I may have to get a smarter phone.



Thanks y'all for support and such.
