the day started off pretty okay. or so i thought.
the tarpaulin for the mass com and paralegal majors arrived. much to my dismay, the tarp sizes were not right- two were 5x3ft (paralegal) and two were 2x2ft (mass com). dapat kasi tig-isang 5x3ft ang mass com at paralegal. grr.
i had no choice but to settle for what i was given.
my letters for the budget and the materials for the convention were approved anyway.

before my day was over, the cheerdancers' make-up artist trisha came to school asking for the money the kids owed him/her.
much to my dismay, i was surprised why s/he came knocking at my classroom door. i did not know anything about the arrangement. all i knew was that they agreed to pay him/her around P300, and nothing more. turns out, trisha was asking for P800.
i asked if trisha and ian (the CASE student assistant) if they could consult the dean about the dilemma; they obliged.
at the department, dr. j called up all the students involved. things were eventually settled, and trisha got her money. or so i thought.
late this afternoon, trisha started texting me again, saying that she had been receiving foul-worded SMS; s/he wanted to return the money. i told him/her that it didn't matter. she got paid, and that's it.

prior to my fetching grace, the communication specialist of IRRI (she is supposed to be one of the speakers for the CALABARZON convention) backed out of the speaking engagement, saying that she had a business trip to vietnam from sept 20-28. my world crumbled like three-day old cookies left out in the sun to dry. top this with my dad's bad joke about my mom leaving the house for good - 'cause apparently they were fighting before i arrived (my dad was out drinking all night, that's why).

i'm actually scrambling to find a new speaker for the convention within the week. the trip to uplb has been canceled because of complexities in scheduling. this means that the kids have to produce development films without any other added knowledge. darn it.

wish me luck aight?
holler me up.
mwah.
