Its been four weeks since the second semester at the University of the East began. Immediately, there are differences that can be observed between freshmen and senior students comprising the communication and journalism courses that I handle.
I guess it has to do somewhat with maturity. The first year students usually have the following characteristics:
1. there’d be at least one male and one female class comedian (aka “the life of the party”
2. there’d be some who will instinctively laugh at their antics
3. there’d be students who will surely chat or mumble despite the teacher lecturing in front or a fellow student doing some oral report
4. there’d be students who will tinker with the computer games and ignore a more active role in class
Senior students though are more introspective and there’s a look of anticipation of an impending graduation from a four year course. The comedians will always be there, though, but only to a lesser degree.
Oh well, so much for being a professor in UE Manila!?!
There were two typhoons that passed the country in the past two weeks. Luckily, Metro Manila was spared. They could have provided some cleansing of the dirty cities in the metropolis! On the other hand, the mud that will settle once the floods drain themselves into the clogged estuaries will add to the dirt and grime of the city. The dirt and grime, of course, are exacerbated by the dirt, mud and grime already being thrown at one another by shitty and good for nothing politicians!
