Today was a tiring day even if I haven't started doing my field assignment. All I actually did today regarding LIS 181 was submit my recommendation letter to the director of the Rizal Library so I could do my OJT there. But before doing that, I swam because I have a PE this semester which is Fin Swimming. I know how to swim but I have not swam for so long I easily get tired. Despite it being exhausting, I enjoyed it. The swimming pool in UP is actually nice. Anyway, after my PE class, I went to the UP SLIS (which is on the third floor of the main library, whew!) to get the recommendation letter. After acquiring the letter, I rode a jeep to get to Ateneo (I also had to cross a footbridge to get there, give me a break!).
I was already inside Ateneo when I encountered my first problem. I saw two Rizal Libraries! I first didn't know which Rizal Library was the right place to go. One Rizal Library is in a simple building looks like a typical academic library while the other one is in a more beautiful building and looks more like of a Learning Commons. I eventually decided to go to the more beautiful one and luckily, it was the right one. Unfortunately, Mrs. David, the director of the library, was not available because she was in a meeting. However, I was able to meet Ma'am Flor, her secretary, to submit my letter. I gave them my preferred schedule to work there which is Mondays and Saturdays 8 am to 5 pm. It was also then I was informed of the dress code. On Mondays, I have to wear a business attire but on Saturdays, I could dress casually. Sadly, I only have very few pieces clothes in my closet which are considered business attires. I have to do some shopping. Fortunately, there are sales in malls at the present. Lastly, I would like to talk about the library itself. It was so beautiful, more beautiful than the UP College of Engineering Library 2 (which I consider the most beautiful library in UP). I have yet to see the collection though.
So here begins my OJT. 150 hours to go. I plan to start on Novermber 19.

As for the girl I was talking about before, we didn't meet today. She went to a field trip. Not to worry though, surely we will have plenty of time to spend with each other in the future.
