Fact: Cutting a post into halves is really a bad thing.
Here's the second part of my second Expectation List of Happy Grades and First Impressions, cut earlier due to server maintenance and rabbit/terrorists taking over my university for the past few days. They're cute, that is true, but when they get hold of a rifle, get ready to run.
5. SOSC 2: Social and Political Thought
What? Obviously, this subject deals with politics and its cute little branches. The primary objective of this class is to discuss the different political ideas made by great thinkers throughout history, and try to apply it to the present society at large.
When? 7 to 8.30 am, Tuesdays and Thursdays
Although I was somewhat perplexed to hear that Plato would like to fool the society with a false religion just to create the perfect society, this class had taught me that politics isn't that bad. The professor is not only great at her job as a teacher, but she knows her politics very, very well. Her head is filled by quotations from the Politics (Aristotle), The Republic (Plato), other books whom titles and authors I forgot, and even know some parts of the Constitution by heart.
Coolness. I haven't seen anything bad with this class yet (although the professor had this tendency not to give the right answer until somewhat uttered it by accident), except that it's a 7 am class. Why are my favorite classes have to be the first things I have to face every morning, where I'm still half-awake and near conscious?
Expected Grade is 1.50
6. CWTS 1: Civil Welfare Training Service

6. CWTS 1: Civil Welfare Training Service
What? This class weighs no units, meaning it doesn't hold any merit in my GWA, so I don't really care what happens here. Anyway, if you really want to know, this subject teaches you creative ways how to clap (e.g., Yehey Clap, Storm Clap, Iraq Clap, among others) and also tips on how to critique a map. And oh, there's something about helping others, but I'm not sure if it's part of the curriculum.
When? 10 to 1 pm, Tuesdays
Three hours of pure boredom.
Not only does the class forces you to humiliate yourself (luckily, not alone, but with your groupmates) in front of everybody, our class is also not conditioned for learning. The good thing is, even the moderators and professors who handle us are expecting it. A normal CWTS class don't have to be a large class, we were supposed to be divided into groups (each with an individual moderator)- but since there aren't available moderators on a Tuesday, we were treated as one big family.
I made a lot of friends, sure, but learning more about the concept of 'helping others'? Not really.
I give credit to the moderators, though. They work hard to keep our asses stuck on the seats, and they had this [evil] tactical strategy to spread the remaining moderators around the room to spy whether who listens and who does not. When they see you dozing off, they list down your name on a pad of paper. No reprimand, no deduction in grade. They just list down your name.
My main goal for this class is not to pass, since that is already certain (yabang mo, tol!), but to cut class without proper reason. ^_^
Expected Grade is PASS. If not, buy a cord of rode and read Suicide for Dummies.
7. SPCM 102: Voice and Diction
When? 1 to 2.30 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays
It's the best of times, it's the worst of times.
Have you ever felt this emotion where you really want to love something but couldn't because it hates you? I did. Last year, when I was still a freshman, I was freaking scared of SPCM 1. I even put it in my Main Objectives in Life to pass the damned subject. However, as the days went by, I surprised myself by giving cool speeches (humorous speeches, meant to insert information in the audiences' mouths while they are laughing their ass off). And so, I garnered a high grade.
And then SPCM 102.
If you haven't met me before, then know that I have this serious lisp. My upper teeth are separated to each other, which causes me to articulate 's' and 'z' like a snake. And no, I don't know Parseltongue. Anyway, since this is a voice and diction class for God's sake, you may have already presumed that I am doing bad on it. Not to the point of failing the said subject, but my hopes of getting a high grade is as slim as a malnourished stick.
And oh, great teacher and great class. It's just the cursed lisp that is making me look dumb.
Expected Grade is 2.50.
That's all there to it, and I'm really sorry that this post is late. Now get off me and make me sleep. Haha. Have a nice day, everyone.
Note: This post was not checked for inconsistencies and errors both in grammar and spelling. This means that within this post lies a whole load of shitty English. My apologies.
