THE ONE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED (PROF SERAFICA'S LINE)... BUT I THINK SOME WILL OBVIOUSLY FIGURE OUT WHOM I'M REFERRING TO...
IT’S BEEN FIVE MONTHS. THE WAY I LOOKED AT IT, IT WAS REALLY A SHORT SPAN OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THINGS ABOUT A PERSON. MAYBE I HAD A WRONG JUDGMENT OR SOMEHOW I HAD THE POINT OF SAYING THINGS I NOTICED. BUT THE FACT IS, NEVER IN MY WHOLE LIFE THAT I TOLD OR WROTE SOMEONE NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HOW I PERCIEVED ON THE WAY THEY ACT AND TALK. I NEVER HAD THE COURAGE OF DOING IT. IF I NOTICED SOMETHING I JUST KEEP QUIET AND DOESN’T BOTHER TO ASK WHY? BECAUSE I MYSELF CAN ASSUME THEIR REASONS AND BECAUSE OF BEING CONSIDERATE, I WILL APPARENTLY UNDERSTAND IT.
BUT, SINCE IT IS A REQUIREMENT, FOR COMPLIANCE, I REALLY DON’T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO DO IT. IT CAME DIRECTLY FROM HER THAT, SHE DOESN’T LIKE PRAISE RELEASES ANYMORE. THAT SHE IS FAR BETTER THAN US IN DOING IT BECAUSE SHE’S IN PR. THAT SHE EXPECTED UNUSUAL COMMENTS. REALLY, IT WAS MY FIRST TIME. IT WAS PURELY OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. AND WHEN I LET ONE OF MY CLASSMATE READ ABOUT WHAT I WROTE, SHE TOLD ME, IT WAS SO FOUL! AND THAT MADE ME REALLY SCARED OF PASSING THAT EVALUATION, THINKING IT MAY CAUSE SOMETHING BETWEEN US. THAT, THAT PERSON MIGHT TAKE IT PERSONALLY. BUT THEN, STILL I PASSED THE PAPER. KINDA WORRIED ABOUT IT. SO NOW, LET ME SHARE YOU WHAT I WROTE ON THAT EVALUATION...
“First of all I have nothing against your teaching ability and how you set your rules in the classroom. The very first thing I noticed since the prelim period is that, we really have a hard time to approach you because you are so intimidating. Most in the class do not answer you whenever you ask for clarifications or questions regarding the topics that were been discussed every session. We just frequently nod as our response to you. The truth is, before you arrived in the class, we really spend the time talking and laughing to the max. We always check the time and frequently look outside the door if you are already coming and then that’s the time that our mind were all set that we already need to be quiet because we are really afraid that when we create noise while you are in the class, you might as well get mad and preach us things we never expected to hear from you. As much as possible we don’t want you to get angry.
Another thing I had noticed is your mood-swing. I don’t know, but everytime you arrived in the class it’s pretty obvious that you are always tired, sometimes you don’t feel well, or maybe something happened that’s why you are not in the mood. But as the time goes by, there’s a sudden switch with your mood. Suddenly, you became okay. And because of that, we can’t figure out what to react. We are somehow affected with your gestures. We tend to be confused on what response will fit your mood.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?!?!?
AND THEN HERE COMES OUR NEXT MEETING AFTER THE MIDTERM EXAM AND PASSING THAT EVALUATION PAPER. I WAS REALLY NERVOUS. REALLY BOTHERED IF THINGS WILL STAY THE SAME OR WORST. I REALLY DON’T KNOW NOT UNTIL SHE ARRIVED AND SURPRISINGLY, AMAZINGLY AND SUPRISINGLY AGAIN!!! HAHA... ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE BECAME OPEN TO US. SINCE IT WAS VALENTINES, SHE ASKED US WHAT OUR PLANS ARE. IF WE’RE ALL GOIN’ ON A DATE! ASKED ONE BY ONE IF WE HAVE BOYFRIENDS OR GIRLFRIENDS. I REALLY CAN’T IMAGINE THAT SHE’S TALKING TO US AND SO MUCH WITH THE LAUGH TRIP!!! REALLY!!! AND SOME STUFF ABOUT BEING A REPORTER RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION. SHE SAID THAT, WE’LL HAVE A BORING LIFE IF WE’LL NOT VENTURE INTO REPORTING! WE ALSO HAD A GOOD TIME TEASING ONE OF MY CLASSMATE, MY VERY GOOD FRIEND FERSENIE. WHERE IN WE LINKED HER TO SOME OF THE BOYS WE KNEW. AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT NIGHT. AND IT WAS LIKE, ALL OF US ENDED UP LAUGHING, SHOUTING AND DEFINITELY HAVING A GOOD TIME! THAT WAS REALLY OUR FIRST TIME TO SEE HER LAUGH THAT WAY AND TALK TO US THAT WAY. I FELT LIKE, IS THIS THE EFFECT OF WHAT I WROTE ABOUT HER? IF THAT’S REALLY THE CASE THEN I’M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT! TO THE NTH POWER! I REALLY HOPE THAT FOR OUR UPCOMING AND REMAINING MEETINGS WOULD BE AS HAPPY AS THE RECENT MEETING WE JUST HAD.
AND I ALSO HOPE THAT I WOULD STILL BE THE TOPNOTCHER FOR THE MIDTERM IN HER CLASS, BUT IF NOT, STILL OKAY. AND I PROMISE TO CATCH UP THIS FINALS. THAT’S FOR SURE!
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, IF SHE DIDN’T TOLD US THAT THE ONLY THING WE CAN WRITE ON THAT EVALUATUION ARE NEGATIVE COMMENTS, I WOULD HAVE WROTE THESE... THE TRUTH IS, I REALLY ADMIRE HER SO MUCH! THE WAY SHE TALK, THE WAY SHE CARRY HERSELF WITH HER DRESSES, THE WAY SHE LOOK, EVERYTHING! FOR ME, SHE IS MY ROLE MODEL. VERY BEAUTIFUL, REALLY SMART, BRILLIANT AND HARD-WORKING. SHE’S ONE OF A KIND! THE BEST PROFESSOR I’VE EVER HAD. AND THAT SHE INSPIRES ME A LOT! I WANT TO BE LIKE HER THE SOONEST. (DREAM ON!!! HAHA...)
BUT I’M SERIOUS ABOUT IT THOUGH...
