More than a week has passed since we officially ended our first JTA Sem…and honestly I can’t believe I survived that sem. Right now I have a rough estimate of my grades, I actually anticipated my grades to be somewhere like this. Really hoping it won’t make my cumulative dip so low. But the sem’s done and there’s the second JTA sem for me to make a comeback (and that has been the case for the past 2 school years).

I would like to thank my professors who have been patient with us and who have spent so much time teaching us and, for some, bonding with us. Really thankful to have these professors because they have been quite generous to us and they really understood what we were all going through.

POM102 with MAC JTAers and our prof Sir Allan Ko.

Such a great time with OpMan because our prof’s really awesome and we were able to befriend our MAC classmates right away. OpMan will be unforgettable because of the IMBA long tests filled with calculations and numbers. (Really not a fan of numbers HAHA) Discussions were always interesting and really made time fly (take note, that we had 2 hours/class). Sir Allan is also such a nice guy! One time Dominic and I went to Eastwood and we saw sir by the parking lot and we greeted him! And take note that was like around the first 3 weeks of classes! Haha! He also went to our small picnic earlier on the sem. ALSO he’s the prof who’s active in our FB accounts haha! Thank you sir Allan for making OpMan fun! 🙂

CS175 with Fr. Charlie

CS175 was the class I most looked forward to after Marketing. It was probably the first time I was really able to put my artistic self into some good use ever since I stepped into college. It was fun doing all exercises and I’m sorry Father (no, not for I have sinned) but because most of the time I fly solo except for the start in flash. Haha! CS175 was really fun with Fr. Charlie because he made things simple but memorable. Very approachable and he’s always there to lend a helping hand. I will never forget having to stay up awake finishing the video project because the laptop I used was crazy as it couldn’t handle Premiere Pro as well as my old laptop did. Nonetheless, despite the noobish editing, Fr. Charlie was able to appreciate it. Thank you Fr. Charlie for making me put my artsy self back through CS175! 🙂

PH101 with MGT-H JTAers and Sir Michael Aurelio

Philo was the class I was looking forward to but I knew I would be mindraped every time…and  it’s partially true. HAHA. We originally had Sir Tolentino but at one point he left for studies, I think though he’ll be back this January 2012. Philo was a bit challenging because I had to re-read the readings multiple times just for me to semi-understand what it’s trying to say. Whenever we have lecture I the semi-understand changes to understand. HAHA. Well yeah, with the prof’s input as well as everyone else’s everything becomes clearer for me. And I’m thankful for that. Under sir Michael, Philo became easier I guess because of the readings. The quizzes well they were a bit challenging. I had a 0 in one quiz 😦 But PH101 under sir Michael will be unforgettable for two things. First, it was my first time to fall asleep in any LT ever. HAHA. Second, despite my really dumb orals, I got a decent grade! Haha! Because of sir Michael I learned to wait to be enlightened again. So I guess, for that, thank you sir Michael and hope to see you around! 🙂

FIN102 with Ms. Marion Tan

The class I least looked forward to. I hate numbers as in really HAHA. With ma’am Marion, however, I felt that I can actually solve stuff on my own! My grades aren’t high but it’s an achievement I guess for me not to be failing in an all numbers class! I can say that probably had I owned a natural display calculator, my life would’ve been easier, as in totally! It was just so difficult using a plain scientific because it’s like being primitive… everyone else could solve right away and I’m like typing and typing HAHA. But Finance was fun to an extent because we get to help each other out learn stuff and everything. Ma’am Marion, well I’m thankful that she’s our Finance prof and thank God we have a female prof HAHA! She was very understanding and patient with us. She helped us understand stuff better and she pushed us sometimes so we can be better. For that, thank you Ma’am Marion 🙂

MKT 101 with (a few)ME JTAers and Sir Wilson Gan

Ah yes, the class I most looked forward to, Marketing. Marketing was fun despite the difficult to do WACs and the bloody papers. Actually, having it at Friday night and Saturday morning wasn’t so bad after all considering a 6 hour break every Friday. I would really miss all the commercials that were shown and seriously, it really made me want to go to advertising after college, but I’m still open to anything. I can say that probably it took time before we got to really get to know our ME classmates compared to everyone else. The whole time we really thought they didn’t want to mingle but apparently some felt we were cliquish. HAHA! Sir Wilson Gan’s a really great cheerful guy and he provided us much assistance along the way in all of our papers and there’s improvement a. I will never forget this one 6-8PM class when we were just all so crazy and he didn’t mind at all! Sir Wilson, thank you for sticking with us despite our insanity 🙂

There’s so much to be thankful for, really and I guess the most significant ones are those I went to the battlefield with. It was a tough time all throughout but these girls and guys really made every moment worth with. Made every all nighter worth it. Made every responsibility more tolerable. Made me feel…at home again in school. They have helped me realize a lot of things and have been there through the tough times as well as the great ones. Thank you so much, I’m eternally grateful. 🙂
