school update..

Last Saturday was my first day of school. I was half expecting that the professors would want us to do something heavy like write an essay or a poem or something similar. Instead, my classmates and I were met by substitute professors, and we were tasked to write one of those "what do you expect from this course" kind of papers. I felt like I was wasting my time. Second period was better I think, we got to read and do something! Finally. But it was not to last, we only had class for about 45 mins or so. After that, my classmates and I went to the library to find the readings we were assigned to do. It was quite an adventure..more like an initiation with all its twists and what not. We went to one place to find a book, only to go to another one then back again to where we started, and get drenched by the rain in the process..whew!

I was starting to get used to being a student again, then bad news struck. Apparently, a foreign exchange student from who-knows-where had the AH1N1 virus, commonly known as the swine flu and is now in the care of the health professionals. School is now closed till further notice. And I am very sad about it, since I was looking forward to another day in school this time with real lessons to learn..

I pray that none of us caught this virus from this person, who ever she might be, and that school will resume soon.
