It’s exactly ONE WEEK since I’ve been detached to my so-called “virtual world”. Well, it’s not that, it’s like the longest days I haven’t logged in on any of my social network sites. It’s just that, on school days, I don’t usually spend time on my computer (except its school related – paper works or case studies and stuff!). Reason: I Just don’t…. not that I’m the nerdy type of student. In fact, I’m totally just an average student having an average IQ too.
So, the question now is, “IS SUMMER a SCHOOL DAY??”---- yeah for me. It’s not that I’m taking up any SUMMER LESSONS from A SUMMER WORKSHOP; well actually it’s purely ACADEMICS. Currently enrolled with 9 units, that’s three subjects. And my class is 6 times a week straight. So much fun isn’t it?? HAHA! It’s been three years that I spent my summer having this required summer class on our curriculum. Luckily, this is the last summer class I will have, since next MARCH I’m graduating (hopefully) from college. 6 days for 6 weeks.. I think I’m used to it. AS my father always told me before, “SUFFER for FOUR YEARS or SUFFER FOREVER??” Clearly, I’ve chose the first option, and this is part of it already. (suffer means to sacrifice right?)
My “exciting” summer class began last April 13, just right after the HOLY WEEK. I’m thinking that the our university must have opened our summer classes a bit earlier since from all the other universities here, they just started their summer classes now. And it’s a bit ironic cause our school is known as a CATHOLIC school. They should have at least extended our summer break since we only got 3 weeks perhaps. Anyways, I said “exciting” summer class. My classes began at 1:00 pm .. first subject BIO400 or Environmental Science. My classmates and I really didn’t get it why on earth do we need to take this subject. It’s written on our prospectus though, but we really can’t find the right logic why we have this. FIRST we’re Management Accounting major, so if ever we got employed, for sure it will be in line with business. Not with any green act movements. Point is—IT’S TOO IRRELEVANT! What’s more, I don’t like the teaching strategy of our bio teacher. It’s very elementary style. And we just have our first quiz last Saturday. And to tell you guys, on my entire SCHOOL LIFE, I never encountered a quiz that includes the subject orientation as part of the coverage. It’s really weird. Though the quiz was objective type, enumeration to be exact, I didn’t get it why she has to include those. Questions like: What’s the values that you can get on this course? What are the course description? And What is the subject all about—types of question.! AND the she has this bonus question. Stating guess what is the highest level of education your mentor has.. Choices are Bachelor’s degree, Masterals Degree, MD, PhD, and Doctor of Science. And luck was not on my side that time, so I was wrong. In short, her bonus question didn’t help. Well I answered its Masterals Degree, and she claimed that it’s Doctor of Science. (I don’t believe her. Takes time to convince myself that she is a Doc of Sci.) My classmate said that our teacher was just boasting her degree on us. Thing is, I don’t hate my bio teacher, I just don’t feel her teachings.
Moving on my next class, I have this Production Management. Well, this time my teacher on this subject happens to be my teacher last sem, and so far he is good. Like his teaching style. I mean I can easily pick up on the lessons. And the good thing is that, he explained to us why we need to take this subject clearly. This subject is more on theories again, so theories mean reading. That’s why everyday I have to read the book. And tomorrow will be another recitation and I haven’t read on the new chapter that we will take since I’m still blogging here.
Last subject, which is my only evening subject is Auditing THEORY. Well, all I can say is that, this subject is relevant to our course. But since it’s theory, it requires reading again. I am not a reader-type of person actually, or the “bookish-person” they say. I usually fall asleep studying sometimes. That’s why during on HELL WEEKS, COFFE is the one that makes me ALIVE. Learn to drink coffee on college! Going back, my teacher here loves to talk nonsense. He keeps canting on stories or business issues that sometimes we cannot relate to. Sometimes the questions that are being asked are not answered even though his explanation is too long already.! But among his nonsense or sensible talks, this is what stays on my mind:

I guess, I’ve written long enough describing my Summer Class. See why I called it exciting. (Most of my summer days will be spent on reading again)
