acads check

its the fouth week of classes. readings are starting to pile up. lessons left misunderstood. some notes are incomplete. cut count has started its first score.

i can't say how i would fare this sem. its a mixture of challenging and interesting subjects. not to mention hard to predict professors. so far, this is what i think of my classes now.

i don't regret load rev-ing to doc de lara's class. for one, i am sort of obliged to do well, else, its a waste of my begging her to accept me in her class. so far, i still understand the lessons. constructing sentences without words is amazing. very challenging class.
Goal: not get an F.

interesting lecture, supposedly. well, that is if im awake and attentive. sir strebel's voice is like a lullaby that puts me to sleep. however, i'm glad i didnt take the 230 class.
Goal: not to sleep in class.

international economics. isolated classroom. this partly completes my ateneo experience since in this class, i am able to experience all the buildings with classrooms. however, the trek to class is a challenge because it is soo hot walking under the afternoon sun, and then, the classroom is airconditioned. so by the end of the sem, i wouldnt be surprised if half of the class would get pneumonia. i find it hard to catch up with the lesson because the lectures are too long and too packed. hope i took the 130 class instead.
Goal: get an A.

doc rosana isn't that bad. well, she is an overeager lecturer. and besides, we haven't done anything academic yet. i volunteered as a beadle to make sure that she knows me. well so far, i think, im still in a good light. i'm always the first one to recite specially when the class refuses to engage in discussion. so usually, my class participation has the least profoundness. well at least, i have an important role to play.
Goal: get an A.

i think i am more of an eco major rather than a math major this sem.. (nah, its just that im minoring in economics). ec142 is love. it forces me to read the business section of the newspaper that i didnt understand before. now i understand the stock market, CPI, all those theories that we encountered in fin105 are applied here. it is challenging. quite demanding, but at least it prevents students to slack off. i think the only setback here is that it is a saturday class so goodbye to saturday org activities.
Goal: to maximize my learning.

personally, i think my professor here is a big joke (evil, i know). class is boring compared to my morning saturday class. sometimes he doesnt seem to know what he was supposed to be doing. maybe he is an experienced investment manager, but probably not an experienced teacher (however, he admits that he taught at AA before. i wonder what his students learned). well at least, a perfect attendance assures you of at least a D. this discourages me to become an investment manager in the future because he has zero sense of humor.
Goal: listen attentively and take down notes.

good luck to me this sem. surely, i'll be missing the saturday Gabay activities...:'c
such a shame, i know. i just hope next sem's sched would be better.
