Brutality of the Goddess

school’s back but basically, not everyone is happy for all the insane reasons.  for sophomore mass communication students, you can say that a lot of people aren’t exactly jubilant thanks to the fact that, as fate would have it, they are under the ‘axis of evil.’

can’t mention names though, unless i’d vanish into thin air tomorrow but believe me, the first week has been quite fun.  let me recount my experiences to you just for the heck of it.

just when i thought that i had gotten all the teachers that i had chosen during the enrolment period, my joy was cut short when i found out that three of my teachers weren’t exactly the ones i had chosen.  later on, however, i found out that they weren’t that bad after all, leaving me to dismiss the nasty horror stories about them with a burst of laughter.

now, i’ve heard a lot of stories that Teacher 1 in religion 22 isn’t only strict but he/she also requires one to churn out a term paper.  honestly, after my little ordeal in bc25 (i just hate those God-forsakened notecards!) the last thing i wanted to do in the second semester was to write another 10-page term paper about so-and-so.  argh…  the day was wednesday and bob, julie and i entered the class with our bibles in hand, expecting that we’d be drenched into another session of talks about God’s greatness when all of a sudden our dear teacher tells us to get one-half lengthwise for a pop quiz.

" didn’t you hear me when i told you not to enter the classroom with nary thing about the books of the new testament?"  she threw a rhetorical question.

actually, i heard that part.  what i didn’t hear was the part about a test.  but who would?  it was a pop quiz, for heaven’s sake.  bob, julie, and i exchanged nervous glances for a moment and i quickly scanned over the list of new testament books in my bible while asking for paper at the same time.  deep in my heart of hearts, i was partly glad that our friend, jhay-ar had allowed us to segue into singing the new testament song during math which refreshed almost 95% of my memory on those 27 books.  she ordered us to shut our bibles close and to put them away for a test.  and as you know, the rest is history and gladly, the results did not deserve being tossed into an abyss.

history class has also been quite interesting, although a lot of my classmates seem to think otherwise.  the time was quite conducive for taking astral trips to dreamland but really, nothing could be more thrilling than to tell the teacher that the philippines was found in the southeast asia bounded by taiwan in the north and indonesia and the celebes sea in the south.  pong said that i reek of geek.  i agree.

as for sociology, it’s been the second meeting and, well, there have been inprovements in terms of our class size.  during the first meeting, only four of us showed up.  our teacher was more than happy when, during the second meeting, already six students showed up.  who knows what to expect during the third meeting?  actually, the atmosphere was quite cozy and i wouldn’t have it any other way given that the whole set up seemed so private and so intellectually stimulating.

PE, lastly, has been hilarious.  i can’t quite think of words to perfectly capture the athletic anciano who insisted that our poor boy classmates should transfer into an all-boy section.  not good.  it’s fun having in-betweeners in class.  granted that we’re supposed to take basketball seriously, at least they shouldn’t take the inbetweeners away from us.  we girls just love to have someone who’s both male and female at the same time.  especially during four quarters of basketball.
