sharing

because i love you all, i want to share with you my joys, pleasures and of course sufferings. i haven't been updating you for awhile because of the uncanny hectic schedule i have that will be this way until the end of first semester. so just to give you an idea here goes, please no violent reactions because i myself have a lot to say about these "projects". let us keep quiet and absorb these painstaking ways to learning and ponder, is there no other way to go....

1. Group Dynamics
- the eternal assignment giver, we have to read pages 17 - 32 (thats not all) plus handdful of handouts and reporting. plus we have a quiz almost every meeting so that is every Monday.
- will have to write a paper about a certain play that was assigned to be watched.

2. Literature
- well, this one is light just reading assignments about Indian Literature, you know that stuff about the names you cant even pronounce.

3. Experimental Psychology
- as the name implies, yes we do have experiments. now our experiment is on hamsters. we are going to make a maze and we'll see if the hamster could get out of that maze, when treatments are applied.
- the professor is still pondering on giving us another experiment. i dont know why maybe jutst to make our lives a living hell.

4. Psychometrics
- well this is fun, we take Personality test to see, if we have mental defiencies or whatever. the difficult part is we have to provide manuals for these tests, which i tell you is no fun! really.

5. Spanish
- what's difficult about this is grasping words you have no idea, where it came from and actually expected to use it to go to hell. my professor barely speaks english and he expects us to learn it in three hours and as if he is explaining anything, more on imposing.

6. Basic Statistics for Behavioral Science
- well, this is learning on your own. you discover your ways, good but if you don't goodluck.

7. Filipino
- supposedly we have finished the entire course long before but it seems that the teacher has a lot of things in mind like papers, making us watch plays and the hellish mind games????

8. Art Appreciation
- its not enough that we have to sit three hours and listen to lectures, he have to perform our MUSICAL play, for crying out loud, they want us to sing???!!!

i know i have been using the word hell a lot of times because that is exactly our state right now, i haven't told you everything just the surface. its really exhausting and down right dumb-founding. its impossible to describe....

and so i wonder, what happens to us? is this the only way that we could graduate and have the distinction to be called educated? i say YES!!! we are going to finish everything one way or the other, sometimes more staisfactorily than the other but we are going to finish it nonetheless. what's most important is the lessons we learned through the process. if we have grown and learned something valuable, is what i think that most important aspect of that.

as of now, just give me the privilege to whine and ramble....
