It’s really over… As I said in my first post, I’m not a freshman anymore… I may have been busy throughout the school year and it may have been a long time ago but I can still remember it all.
I am now going to tell you the nice events that happened to me last July 4, 2008.
July 4, 2008 (Friday)
I’m asking you, reader, to read this whole article of my entry today. This day is so special that this entry might be the most wonderful of them all. My day started with excitement. Will it end in the same way too? Find out.
I was so excited this day because I made a very “special” letter to my substitute Filipino subject teacher, Ms. Rizzle Abad. Ms. Abad is a short, dark, chubby teacher. This letter waves goodbye to her since it’s her last day here in Saint Peter (my section). I waited for a very long time for our Filipino class to start. The subject’s schedule for Friday was the sixth. Time passed by and the 5th subject was already done.
My excitement grew more and more but all of those disappeared. A new face shocked us all. It’s our new teacher. She was also short, brown, chubby, and was like 40 years old. I was fascinated but loneliness killed my happiness. I wasn’t expecting that she, our new teacher named Mrs. Siony Fernandez, will be showing up instead of Ms. Rizzle. Frustration aroused me. But that didn’t stop me from giving this letter to her. After dismissal (1:00), I successfully gave it to her. Today’s dismissal was earlier than usual.
Meeting my new teacher was not that easy. It’s not because of her traits but because it’s so sad to lose a very special teacher. Even though we’ve only met for 12 days, I quickly admired her because she’s so smart and unique in regards her fluent usage to both languages – English and Filipino.
Anyway, our new teacher was not that bad (Am I being judgmental?) or in short – she’s just an average teacher. I’m looking forward… I’m hoping that, in the future, I may still be able to like her and relate to her teachings and lessons.
After giving Ms. Abad the letter, it was announced that we will have a meeting. It was unusual for me to have meetings since I’m not a member of any committee. I didn’t want to miss any meetings with my adviser so I attended the meeting. It started gracefully and ended as it is. Ma’am Shellah, my adviser, announced to the officers and the committees that I’ll be surely included to the group. I was flattered and I felt like Jose P. Laurel. He was the president of the Philippines at the time of the Japanese era. I felt like him because like me, he was neither elected nor chosen by the people but chosen by the Japanese.
We were dismissed at exactly 1:49 PM (13:49). I went to the waiting area and waited for my school service patiently. It’s already 2:33 PM (14:33) and there’s still no sign of my school service. I still waited until 3:16 PM (15:16), patiently. I lost my patience when the clock showed me 4:00 PM (16:00)… No one but me sat in the waiting area. I have no choice but to seek help.
There came my very thin, dark, classmate Alexis Ramos – skating. His house was just in front of our school. I asked help and he offered their telephone. I declined and decided to walk home. I really got tired from the way home. The sun is still up even if the time is already 5:15 (17:15). Well, it’s a long story… What’s important is I went home safely. I really got tired and exhausted from the way home. That’s the reason why I entitled this entry “Fried-day”. I went home exhausted but happy. J
