ETC - Part 1

My apologies for being negligent with my blog for quite some time. It's not that I am very busy. But sometimes, while I do want to write about what's happening with me, at the same time, I find myself doing more urgent stuff (like preparing for my lectures .. hehe).

Anyway, here goes some stories and encounters I have had over the last few weeks

New President, New Hair

On the day that P-Noy was sworn in, I was at the parlor and having my hair make-over.
Now, I'm back to a shorter hair

Me: (Coming in class)
Class: Wow!
Me: Asus!

Me: (Coming in another class)
Class: Clap! Clap!
Me: Nge!
Student: Ma'am, ni-bata gud ka sa imong hair. Mura ka na si Dora, ka-cute!
Me: Walay plus ha!

Teacher, Teacher

Teaching 3 subjects and 170 students is not an easy feat. It requires effort, both physically, mentally and emotionally.

Teaching in Law School is a dream come true. That's why I am really giving it with my best effort. Honestly, I feel like I am a law student all over again - going over all the cases, the books, and the notes. The only difference is that I only have 1 subject, hehe.

Teaching in Undergrad is indeed an opportunity. Admittedly, it requires less effort than in law school but nevertheless, I give it my full effort. The provisions under the law are explained as it should be, with no cases, and basic accounting is just as it is, basic!

Law School students are more attentive and less sleepy .. hehe! I am not sure if they are just acting when they nod their heads as if they are agreeing with me but I can feel that they listen to me and that they daydream less.

Undergrad students needs more effort for me with regard to catching their attention. I already called the attention of who were in the act of sleeping. Admittedly, there are students who are really attentive and they are the ones who get good grades.

Me: An example of a potestative condition dependent upon the sole will of the debtor is: "I will pay you P 1,000 if I will sing"
Class: Sample! Sample! Sample!
Me: Ako na gani ang mukanta, ako pa mubayad! :)
