Unlike the past firstdays of my college life, my first day this sem was not exciting. Or should I say that I didn't feel excited about going to school. I just didn't feel it since we were going back to UST weekly for all this school stuffs. I didn't miss the school because of that. Tsk.

First day was dull. Our first subject is CompLab, and surely, there is no lab on the first week so we just sat on the floor near the lab hoping for someone to let us in. But there came no one. We just went to McDonalds and ate brunch. We have a double period Calculus, and surprise, surprise! Our prof is Sir Rambongga! Gosh, he's been my prof for 3 semesters already. But eventhough, he still gives me the creeps and frights. I dunno. Nakakaba pa din e.
The first day is like heaven compared to the next day. We've met our physics prof. She's Mam Roque. And I've heard she's got a very high teaching standards. We're never gonna sail Physics smoothly, this time. Errr. There are also rumors that our CompLec prof is Angelo Morsiquillo. Waaaaaa. COMBO! RAMBONGGA-ROQUE-MORSIQUILLO. The heck. Sir Rambongga's okay. He's been our professor for the third time, and personally, I've been able to cope with his teaching style. I don't know Mam Roque and Sir Morsiquillo but a lot of students do not like them.

Well, I don't care about these hear-says. I don't care about the others' feed backs. I'm different from them. My daddy always says that professors have nothing to do with your failure. It's always up to me. I always have a choice.

So what if Sir Morsi talks like a robot at mahina boses niya? He's surely not mute. If I will just intently listen to what he discusses, I'm sure I will learn something from him. So what if Mam Roque is strict on checking papers? Then I'll study harder!

I admit that I didn't give my very best last semester. I was always staying at school til afternoon. I don't answer all our assignments in Physics. I don't study our lessons at night. I just study the night before the quiz. I don't read the lessons ahead of time. I take my minor subjects for granted.

But now, I'm gonna be different. I'll take all my subjects seriously. Now I've realized the importance of my minor subjects. I won't take any subject for granted. I'll listen intently! I'll study if I have time!

I don't care who the professor is. Tao lang din sila. Wala akong pakialam sa sinasabi ng iba. Basta ako mag-aaral! Tapos! Hindi ako ipapasa ng pagrereklamo at pag-iinarte ko. Tama na ang reklamo. Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon, yung mabait at gusto kong professor ang mapupunta sa amin. Hindi naman ibibigay sa amin yung mga professor na yun kung hindi namin kaya.

Last night, I prayed. I surrendered everything to the Lord. I just prayed na bahala na si Lord kung sino ang ibibigay niyang professors sa amin. I fully trust Him that He will give what's best for us. Anyway, He never promised our life to be a bed of roses. But He promised that He will be with us all the way. So just trust Him!
