Reflections on Finals Week

Last day of classes: tomorrow

Actual day of freedom: April 1

Requirements still due by April 1: EDL 205 take home final exam, second language acquisition research paper, sla/fla puzzle, observation field notes and critique.

Number of books borowed from CAL: 7; so that’s where all the EDL books are squirelled away!

Number of demo teachings done this semester: 3 (plus one showcase that should have been videotaped for the sake of blackmail posterity)

Favorite lesson plan topic: The Dead Parrot sketch as a springboard for euphemisms

Number of Saturday classmates i will miss: 18. in short, all of you.

Thing to do before summer enrollment: authorization letter

Classes enlisted for summer term: EDL 251

Schedule of summer class: 7:00am – 10:30am. Nocturnal me is not happy.

Number of job interviews this first quarter: how many months are there in a quarter?

Who is turning one? the little munster

Number of BS accomplished in the second semester: 3

Camps to attend this summer: 2 or 3. Let’s see

Places to go to this summer: Tuguegarao, Ifugao, Tarlac, Bulacan, Silang/Tagaytay, UP Naming Mahal

Currently admiring the expertise of: Meryl Streep, Hugh Jackman, Hugh Laurie and Kevin Kline.

Enjoying: Tim Horton, a pack of danggit (dried fish), and huge headphones that look like a remnant from my graveyard shift.

Current frustration: waiting in silence, promises left unfulfilled, musical theater, and ECHO camp.

Extra challenge: tambourine dance, technical writing, cockroaches and waking up in the early morning.

Must learn to love: early to bed, early to rise, kids, and fasting.

Must see: a dentist

Likes: wikipedia, my bed, Tim Horton and fascinating munsters who still cannot walk or talk properly

Dislikes: people who cannot take risks, people who judge others for taking risks, people who take risks without weighng of the nuclear fallout first.

Wishlist: a house like 144 Scout Limbaga, instant MA diploma, contact lens, resurrected hair and the absence of humid summer heat.

Response to send-to-all emails: silence. I know what I know and that I think I know that saying anything won’t help anyway.

Response to confession/s: Nip it in the bud.

Word of wisdom: agree to disagree.
