I found myself having this routine whenever I commute to school.  I would hurry up the steps to the platform and board the next Brown Line train, sit down, catch my breath, say a little prayer, take out my iPod and scroll to “The Moody Blues – Your Wildest Dreams” and off I go!

Group Work

I hate group work!  I hate the initial awkwardness, the forced interaction, the whole group dynamics thing!  Why my teachers deem it necessary to ask us to form groups and do in-class activities or assigned projects, I still can’t understand.  At one point, one of them might have explained why grouping is necessary, but I [...]

Balik Eskwela

Fog covered most of downtown and outlying areas as my second day in school drew to a close.  Oh yes, student na naman ako, after more than a decade of not being inside a classroom…in a real school.  (Di counted yung MT course as it was an abbreviated training in a small centre).
 
Walang magagawa eh, [...]
