first day of classes
my day (as a student) has finally ended. i just got home (dorm, actually) after my class in SFFG 120. I never thought that the class would be fun considering that our room is in forestry (up in the mountain, hehe) and that i do not actually know what the course is about. I do have the subject just because it's required in our course, nothing more than that. i felt guilty when our teacher said that students just take subjects in order to get good grades and finish their course; that most students (if not all) take her subjects not for the sake of and/or gaining knowledge (for, you know, growth of the mind). well actually i would like to tell her that my reason for taking my subjects is because i do want to learn, because i want to feed my mind whether or not i'll get a practical use on such. but then again, that applies only to my major subjects (that is, philosophy subjects) and not to GE courses and others that are not about philosophy (or shall i say, subjects that are not of my interest). and well, she was right. most students do take subjects just because they are required to do so, and i am one of them.there were few notable stories (that are somewhat funny) that happened this day. in my first class (Nasc 4 or Biology), me and my seatmates were almost laughing at almost half of the class hour. that was because we were like in our high school days. (our teacher even told those who recited to write their names in a piece of paper and pass it to her. well this is because she'll give them extra points... sooo high school.. hehe) of course, you readers could not relate to what i am talking about because you're not in that class, but to tell you, what happened is really worth laughing. the class is not really funny though, but i had fun.
but this is the real funny story: in our PHLO 113 class (contemporary philosophy), Ms. Lei asked us whether or not we have already taken up PHLO 120 (Philosophical reasoning). most of us had already taken up the subject (that includes me and most of my blocmates). she asked heherson if he had taken up the subject and the latter said "no", so when the teacher asked him if he wanted to enlist his name in the 120 class list, he said "yes". we all laughed. all of us know that he had taken it because he was our classmate in that subject, (and he, of course, should not take it again)... despite of this, he kept on insisting that he hadn't taken it up. we were all laughing that he doesn't know that 120 is Philosophical Reasoning, the subject that he had taken semesters ago. he totally forgot, and that was funny.
another funny thing: we were in "tambayan" (of Sophia) waiting til it got quarter to 4 when i saw ate megs drinking "Virgin cola". seeing this, i asked her, "anong lasa ng Virgin?" they all had a big laugh. my question appears to have a double meaning, but the truth is, i really want to know how that cola tastes. well, guess they do have green minds.. hehe
