Something to work hard for and look forward to...

As I said yesterday, I have two classes today...
From 730 am to 430 pm...
My classmates and I decided yesterday that were coming to school late...
And it was a BAD idea...
My classmate Matthew was the first one to arrive at school around 830 am...
By that time, I was just leaving my home...
I arrived at school around 9...
It was only the two of us...
We're expecting that we were 8 to 9 in class...
We waited for a few minutes until we decided to ask if our professor has arrived...
It turns out that our professor is waiting in a different room!!!
It's his first time teaching in our school and doesn't know the policies yet so he went early...
He was already there at 6:55 am...
I feel guilty...
It was his first time and his first day in our school and we kept him waiting...
However, it's only the first meeting and he was so nice so we're forgiven...
I'll be careful with time starting next week...
The subject is interesting so I think I won't feel lazy waking up at 5 am and going to class...

For my afternoon class, my professor did not arrived...
Although she was there in the morning...
The other professors said she was at the laboratory, some said she was at the graduate school...
I don't which is true...
Just one thing is clear, she did not come to our class...
My other classmates went home but I stayed behind...
I was supposed to add one more subject but the network in our school is down...
I was frustrated...
It took me a week to find a professor because adding subjects needs to be approved first...
And when I finally got approved, the network is down!...
Good thing, revision of load is until Wednesday next week and the schedule of that subject is Thursday...
Just have to wait till next week...

Despite all these mishaps, I learned about one great thing today...
I finally found a way to go to Japan...
Our professor in the morning, Dr. Camacho had his masters degree in Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan...
I instantly asked him how did he get there...
So he explained everything...
The Japanese embassy here in the Philippines is offering different scholarships...
No fees are needed and no entrance exams...
Only the application form...
By the time, the student arrives there, everything is provided...
From the apartment, allowance, japanese language lessons for 6 months...
Everything is for free...
It's like you're being paid to study there...
No contracts to be signed, no limitations, you can even get part time jobs while studying...
If you already have contacted a professor, it makes the application easier...
Our professor also gave us techniques to get through...
He also said that in just a year, you'll be able to build a house here in Manila just from the allowance you've saved...
For me, it's an all in one package...
I'll be able to go to my dream country Japan...
I've always wanted to go there but we don't have the money for that luxury...
I'll be able to ride in an airplane...
In the 20 years that I have lived, I haven't rode one...
I'll be able to live alone and learn to be independent...
Since I was in elementary I've always been with my parents...
I haven't experienced living apart from them...
I'll be able to continue with my studies...
Education in Japan is excellent especially research...
They have all the materials and technology needed...
For my field of studies which is Material Science major in Semiconductors, a lot of job opportunities are there so it would be easier to look for a job...
Lastly, I'll be able to see snow and cherry blossoms...

Good thing I'm good at st my studies and my grades are high...
I'll think I'll be able to do it...
This is the first time in my life that I really wanted to do something...
First time that I have the motivation to do something...
First time that I really want to work hard to achieve a goal...
First time that I have something to look forward to...

I'll study really hard to improve my grades more...
And I'll be always looking forward to the day that I'll be able to fulfill this dream...
