Calculus Class Cancellation

I had already planned my day. But in the back of my head, I was hoping that our Calculus professor would announce the cancellation of the class early. This is because on that day, I only have two classes. From 12:15 - 1:45, it would be Calculus time. And then for 2:00 - 5:00, it would be Computer Aided Drafting Time. The CAD professor announced that she was having asynchronous classes.

All I need is an announcement from our Calculus professor, but that never came. I am still under that impression that there is a face to face class. I left at around 9:30. Got there at around 11:15. With the time fast approaching 12:15, we were preparing for him to go inside the room. Until one of our blockmates looked at the Microsoft Teams chat for Calculus class with an announcement from 11:34:

“Good am, asynchronous class today.”

I feel so good.

I just wasted 300 pesos, return trip included. This is the second time I accomplished nothing going to campus. I went home, not complaining anymore. It was just a case of bad timing.

Plus, my mother said:

“I would rather regret going to campus, and then finding out there is no class; rather than not going to campus hoping there is no class, and then finding out there is class.”

She’s right.

Sir EJ Surprise Christmas Gift.

Even before Monday came around the corner, I was already studying the topics related to the quiz. He announced last week the quiz coverage. There were so many, but I had planned to study them all. I knew that there were some hard topics that I need to reinforce on studying, so I really dedicated time to study every night.

During the last night, I was so tired that I didn’t study at all. I overslept and woke up when it is time for me to wake up for school. I ended up not studying at least 2 topics, and also didn’t study along the way. The ride makes me dizzy

I got there 11:30, a good hour before quiz time.

When Sir arrived, he wrote the questions on the board.

We were solving it until he said in Filipino:

“Don’t you see the hidden code on the board?”

We stopped and looked at him, looked at the board, found nothing and then looked at him again.

“Read the first letter of every line I wrote on the board”, He said in Filipino.

And so we read.

“papasko ko na sa inyo, perfect na kayo dito”

Half joy felt! I was relieved because I am sure I won’t correctly answer all the questions he gave. But partly sad, because I used money again.

Still, I do not regret going to school, at least I was there when Sir gave out the exemption. My score is in the clear. Imagine if I made the decision not to go to school on this day. I would be left wondering if I am included or not.
