Second day, 30 minutes late. Damned traffic. I've forgotten how Katipunan Avenue gets clogged up in the morning thanks to the children going to Ateneo and Miriam.
Of course I should have left home earlier. Come on, leaving at 8:20 for an 8:30 class? I have got to shake off my summer hangover. It was a good thing that our professor did not make a big deal out of my barging into the room out of breath and very late.
Journalism 103. Opinion writing. The course I've been dying to take since Day One of my stint at the College of Mass Communication. You may have seen that some, if not all, of my old Blogspot blog entries just popped out of nowhere. I was just trying out Multiply's cross-posting feature so that I could somehow revive my old blog and now this happens. Crap.
Anyway, you may notice that I was once very opinionated. That was why I got into writing in the first place: to have my say on the issues of the day. Before I just wrote what I thought without thinking much about everything else - well, except grammar, but looking back now I fear I was a bit careless in my writing.
I hope that taking a class in opinion writing will help me communicate my thoughts better. I'll be writing even more thanks to that class, with a daily blog posting assignment, and writing exercises every meeting. Oops. Hahaha. But if I want to restore my discipline and my love of writing, it's a good start.
We didn't meet for my other class of the day, Journalism 112. Reporting on the environment is not really my forte, but as I said yesterday, it's nice to learn something new once in a while.
A College Assembly had been called so classes in the afternoon were suspended. The draft 2009 Code of Student Conduct was discussed by the CMC Student Council and representatives from the University Student Council. I'll probably have more on that in the coming days, but all I can say for now is that I'm glad that my term as the head of UP AstroSoc is ending tomorrow.
Hahaha. Just kidding.
On a more serious note, there's already at least one case of swine flu in UP Diliman. I'll have to be more careful. This pandemic could cost me my Shanghai trip in July. Damn.
