Week 24, 2012: Post-duty status
If I have to make a choice between sleep and food after being awake for 24 hours, sleep will almost always win.
Afternoons at home
Rare are the afternoons when I have idle time for myself. But yesterday was something else. There arrived an unexpected blessing—a pocket of sweet time when I had nothing to do. As soon I parked the car, I greeted my mother in her room, interrupting her Netflix viewing. I headed out to the living room. The sun was glorious but not scathing. Photographers call the late tropical afternoons the golden hour. I went back to my desk to grab the camera, whose existence I only recall when I travel. I jolted Paul from his nap. "Dali na!" I said. He yawned, stretched, and trailed me. After three years, we've figured out his body language. He was waiting for a treat, a belly rub, or some play time that involves an old tennis ball—or all of the above. "Hulat lang, Paul, ha?" I speak to him like I would to a three-year old.

Hi, Lance! Looks like you've had a really tiring week. I hope you're doing okay :)
ReplyDeleteI have a request, and I'm not sure how you can fit this into your schedule. This semester, I have a whole bunch of MBB undergrads dumped into my English 10 class. And when I say a bunch, they comprise almost 90% of the class. The class being English 10, I'm supposed them to write academic papers (reports, reaction papers, research paper, etc.). But I have absolutely no idea how MBB students go about this. This is where you come in. Could you spare some of your precious time to come to my class and talk about how you wrote your papers when you were an undergrad? And if possible, may I see some of the papers you made? What citation style did you use? Sorry for the trouble ha! Lost lang talaga ako :(
Razeru, I hope you got my email, with a copy of my undergrad thesis and the MBB Undergrad Thesis Writing Guide attached.
DeleteMBB students are fun and noisy! Enjoy the teaching experience. You won't have a hard time with them—they're so grade-conscious you can make them do anything.
"..they're so grade-conscious you can make them do anything" - hahaha, seems like I was wrong to think that MBB was overrated.
Deletefor me it was always ligo vs kain vs tulog. of course, ligo always prevailed haha.
