FUN and new experience!!

I saw my friend Rose Ann last Wednesday at UP while I and my other friend was walking along the UP Circle (Sunken Garden). We were walking there after we had gone to UP Shopping Center to photocopy a book in our Accounting class, and eat pancit canton, ice cream and biko (i don't know if that's biko). So, ok. When I saw my friend Rose Ann (who I've never seen for reasonably...a long time), we had a little talk which leads to a once in a lifetime experience.

We were talking about our experience on our first days of this sem when suddenly, an idea pops up in my mind. I and my other friend (Steph) come to realize that we have no class on friday (which is definitely this day) and we want a new college experience. So, I asked Rose Ann if we can sit-in in her classes. Well, I think she regards me as her true friend since she did not hesitate even a bit. She immediately said yes and asked me what day do I want to sit-in. Then, I told her that we do not have class on friday and she gave me her class schedule for friday (which will also be my own class schedule on that day). I was so happy and excited when she handed me her schedule. Well, i will gonna be a totally new experience to have a class in UP.

Then, Friday comes (yah, of course....it's already friday). I went to Ateneo Dorm to pick up my friend Steph at around 830. Then, we walked towards gate 3.5 and walk again towards Merriam College (since the jeepneys goiung to UP are stopping there). On our way going to UP, we are so excited even though we did not know where our first classroom is. UP is not as big as Ateneo but rather it is really BIGGER than Ateneo. So, what did we do?? well, we asked the driver to stop in front of Llamas Hall (which is our first stop for OUR, especially MY, first subject -- PHYSICS).

When we go down the jeep, we get a little bit afraid. Things such as being called in a recitation, a pop quiz by a teacher, checking of OFFICIAL attendance, and a lot more bothered us. But we are already there and so we must continue. We've gone far enough and there's no way for quitting. We should just try and if we fail then we still have ATENEO (by the way, I want Ateneo better than UP. I just want a new experience that's why I want to attend their classes). So, there. We are already late based on our watch and we still have to walk some meter to get into the building and so to the classroom. When we get into the front of the building, we are really afraid since a guard was standing in the entourage of the building. But, well I cannot be hindered. I am oblivious of the danger. So, I just passed through him as if I am a common student of UP......and......it worked. I'm IN!! woohhooo.....yehey!

And the day flowed smoothly. OUR Physics teacher distributed his syllabus and continue the lesson he started on the previous days (I am not there but he just said he discussed this and this on the past meetings of the class - so he just really continue his lesson). Well, he's good but I like my Physics teacher (in Ateneo) more. Then, my next class is Engineering Science, which is practically the same as my physics class and vector analysis in Ateneo (oohh...I'm becoming geek!). We are late because UP have no idea of what a BELL is. Our first teacher did not dismissed us around 10 mins before the real dismissal so that we will have time to walk or take a ride to our next class (in short, he's not considerate). But it's ok. Our next teacher do not check attendance and according to Rose Ann, the seats are on the "first come, first sit" basis. The class is fairly well but a bit boring because we already tackle that, in Ateneo, last sem. The teacher also adds up to the boredom (Rose Ann told me she is also bored in that class). Then, the class ended and I am back to normal.

But before I come back to normal, I taste the sweetest thing about UP --- their variety of foods (and also affordable compare to our school). I am really hungry so I ate there. I am pretty much fine with what I ate and I am really full with what I ate. However, I don't know how my food is called -- it's either adobo or lechong paksiw or combination of both but I am not really sure.

Then, we walked back to Ateneo and I did what I am supposed to do -- it is so many to mention. I am back to reality and to where I really belong!!

But I will miss the experience. Thank you Rose Ann...and of course....to UP!!
