And so I went to my first class last Saturday. I called the school before I went to make sure that classes have officially started. (Last Monday I went to the school only to find out that they have postponed the start of classes until next week). I wasn’t so excited to go as it was raining the whole day. I went anyway, as my father wasn’t so please to hear me talk about trying to ditch school.
At the school, I marched with my new school ID (140 PHP), and went to the assigned classroom. “Hello classmates!” of course, I didn’t say this out loud, but I was surprise to see lots of people in the room. I checked out their notebooks (of course!) but didn’t see much. Hehehe (^^;) I’ll take a better look next time. Took a seat by the 3rd row and waited. To my dismay, the teacher didn’t arrive! I guess the system still hasn’t changed.
Way back in college, I would have been happy to know that the teacher’s not coming. But now that I’ve experienced working for my own, I guess my perspective has changed. I want value for my hard-earned money. (Okay, papa & mama’s hard-earned money hahaha ^^) In any case, my time is still precious (even if it’s just to bum around for now). Hahaha ^^
Another interesting fact was that even after 30 minutes of waiting, nobody left the room. I wonder if this is the system here in Davao. Back in UP, we only waited for the teacher around 15 minutes. I was the only one who went out after thirty. I did check with the administration and got confirmation that the teacher has called to cancel the class before I left.
I’m hoping that tomorrow’s class will be different. *fingers crossed*
