song playing on my pc: confessions by usher

 

tang***... sorry for such a bad intro... the weather killed it all. i was supposed to do a project with my media management class group mates but damn the weather. imagine, my usual trip from ateneo to house of 20 minutes lasted more than 2 hours! my driver left the house at 5 in the afternoon. house to ateneo trip usually lasts 15 minutes. but it took him 2 hours too. ****ina!

 

anyway, so much for the curses. i haven't seen any movie for the past month or so... kill bill 2, spiderman 2, liberated 2, king arthur, mean girls, singles (fine! jologs na ako!), and the list goes on... all of them i missed. i feel bad... that's an understatement actually. now, i have to spend for dvds... damn! but then, i am proud to have been better in terms of dedication to school requirements. also, i have managed to still keep in touch with my friends.

 

the other day, i got my first long exam in abnormal psychology. felt really bad and pathetic. i was the lowest in class, with 54 points out of 100. passing is 70. GREAT!!!! i feel ashamed of myself. the teacher's remarks were: what happened? you can do better! i really have to work hard...

 

there was something that annoyed me last wednesday. our theology teacher required us to watch a movie for class. it was the Gospel of John. our class was at 1330 and according to the teacher, it was supposed to end by 1500. she reserved the room for 3 hours, and she said that the movie would be played continuously. so, all along, we all thought that there would be two screenings for the movie. but no! by 1430, multiplication of bread and fish pa lang. by 1600, my friends and i walked out and it was just the last supper scene.

 

our theo teacher has three classes: 1330-1430 (my class), 1430-1530, and 1530-1630. first of all, kawawa naman the other students who have other classes on from 1330-1630. they would definitely be missing some parts of the movie. hassle! she should have cut the movie after an hour and show the three parts in three classes, so everyone gets a chance to watch the whole movie. what's more annoying is she didn't even bother apologizing about the length of the movie. she should have been more considerate of giving us three free cuts for the movie.

 

this sunday, she's requiring us another (i'm predicting...) nonesense activity. we will be having a recollection. it will last from 9 to 3:30 in the afternoon. she's giving us three free cuts for this one. but in reality, she has to be giving us 6 free cuts because the whole thing lasts 6 hours.

 

our theo teacher is someone you'd love to hate. she treats her students like kids. she teaches as if our class was a Bible study class, or a typical sunday school class. also, she's very traditional and close minded. imagine, after being taught to be critical thinkers by subjects such as philosophy and the previous theology, we're going to go back to blind faith? and the saddest part--she just assumed the position of theology department chairperson.
