one week registration assistant

As I was enjoying my fourth day of official summer vacation, I received a text message notifying me that I, for the fifth time, am a registration assistant. Did that make me happy?

Yes, because I have always enjoyed working in the journalism department, handing out the form 5a’s and checklist of every journalism student. At some point, this has become a way for me to recognize students, a remedy for my inability to remember names so easily. I enjoyed the business of the second day of registration, wherein students just kept coming in asking for the checklist while at the same time assisting others to have an adviser sign their form, students requesting for their class cards, and dormers needing the signatures of the department secretary and chair for their clearance. There is will not be an opportunity for us assistants to just sit down and rest even for 30 seconds, and I just love the feeling.

Then, despite this, I doubted another RA experience. I do not want to be accused of using this opportunity to be known by students to prepare the person for candidacy in the student council.

No, because again, the Sunday was actually my 4th day of summer vacation, and I know I will become even more restless than before as school starts. I need all the vacation I can get before I face an endless passage of trials.

But hey, my conscious cannot afford to decline the call of service.

I hate myself.
