Stands for Loyola Schools Assessment Team. It was my first day, today, as the head of the Graduate Studies Team and the first part of the assessment was a pretty big battering ram that hit me.
You’d expect that Ateneans with the cramming culture and tradition would certainly have their papers, including the batch people, be processed by afternoon. Surprisingly we were pretty much idle in the afternoon and was very busy during the morning. I had a target that day that no Graduate student would come up to the Assessment venue to check on his or her registration form. The thing is, the students were isolated from the assessment venue and just let them wait in a specific waiting area for them. Unfortunately there were at least 5 people who went up, waiting for their papers to be processed. Hmmm….
Of course, like any Grad Assessment situation, the first wave of batch regforms was totally a great shock. This was the batch of AMF students who came in jigsaw puzzle pieces and left the job for regcom and lsat to rebuild the picture. They were complaining a lot but if only they knew that they just brought problems and not their regforms… And there were a couple of mistakes already made. Although I’m still deciding if I’m to give liability points to all since the error was committed by a large margin. It was the decision to choose the NONE OF THE ABOVE option for others but there was another option for SCHOLARSHIP FROM ANOTHER AGENCY. Good thing the regforms were not yet passed and Ma’am Lani said all we have to do is re-assess the forms to the appropriate option and we don’t have to reprint the assessment forms since the resulting assessment form will still be the same.
The AMD SH*T lasted until we had lunch. In fact it ate our lunch time by 30 minutes but I was glad that the assessors were back exactly 1 pm. After that there were idle moments most of the time. I even shouted “Free Assessors” and I saw how the assessors like to do something. The buffers were the people who enjoyed most of the time since Minotz was one of them, and the two other people having fun during the assessment were two new boys. 😀
I noted some of the events where conflicts came, just to make sure. Ate Ja and the others were surely laughing at me since the four schools did not have any work most of the time, only in the afternoon when the krammerz came by a huge basket. Tom actually told the people not to tease me and I might burst out in the conference in meebo. Hahaha, don’t worry Tom, I’m used to those things and I’m actually used to it ever since high school. 😀 I was really tired and ate Jarylle was able to notice the immediate attack of stress into my face as we walk towards the cafeteria. There, I only ate cheesedog on stick (I still feel Good Friday without the abstinence but fasting) a bottle of orange juice and a back-up water bottle for the latter part of the registration period.

It was a good thing that I knew some of the people and I met new ones. First, there was Ma’am Dindin (who still remembers me! I was touched!) then there was kuya Arnold from MIS who assisted me most of the time with the hardware and Aisis problems. Then there was Ate Gen from Regcom who was kind of nice. 😀 then ate Lesly whom I met last sem’s reg. She probably predicted that Kuya Alec would throw me into his position as the replacement. 😀 Hahahah! And of course, last but not the least, the new members of my team. I think I would love this bunch since most of them are energetic. Hahaha!
