Classes and Trainings

I wish I could just close my eyes and go to sleep and wake up and the Semester is over. Procrastination has always been my weakness. I am swamped with papers with deadlines fast approaching. I still don’t have a concrete plan for my IR 222 term paper. It’s a bit complicated because I need to have some primary data and my Prof is a stickler for having a good research framework.

I am a bit better of with my IR 207.2 paper since my proposal was approved and we all have a standard topic. Were supposed to come up with a paper about Industry best practices on Labor Standards. To make things easier I chose Smart because it was chosen as the Best Employer in the Philippines in 2003. Now I just need to come up with a paper. Hah!

The Best Employers in the Philippines in 2003 (top 10)

Makes you think… Am I working for the right company???

On a different note, a friend of mine asked me to conduct a First Aid Lecture Demo for the applicants of her Mountaineering Org last Saturday. She asked me to do it because I could customize the training specifically to address their needs and focus the training on things that they will likely encounter.

I arrived at the venue past 8:00 am to find none of the participants there. Some things never change. To think that I barely had sleep the night before, had to skip breakfast and take a cab all the way from Valenzuela so as not to be late, and I had classes later that afternoon. I don’t know why I even bother, but I guess this is one of the things that teachers and trainers will always have to put up with. Oh well, life is like that…
