Personal: Self-Evaluation and Planning Seminar

Back in Ateneo, most organizations would go through PlEvSem, which is short for “Planning and Evaluation Seminar”. Each org would have its officers evaluate its efforts through the semester/year, then plan for the following semester/year.

(Of course, as Ateneans, PlEvSem was an excuse for the wealthier orgs to blow off steam as well, going on out of town trips under the guise of “team building” and “bonding” activities. But I digress.)

In lieu of writing for this blog tonight, I’m going to do an evaluation of my life and kind of, make plans for it so I can move forward.

I know it sounds a little robotic and unfeeling and that you can’t really prepare for anything in life. But I guess my headspace needs the time to organize my life priorities and goals.

I’m not sure if others can relate, but sometimes, we can’t approach our problems because we can’t correctly identify them? Like, we can’t directly pinpoint what bothers us, what troubles us, what we are struggling with exactly. So on the outside, it all seems okay, but internally, we’re confused.

And that’s kind of what I want to address for myself tonight. I just want to list down my concerns and find a clearer path to pass through.
