Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

The teachers' residency form says that student consultation has to be a minimum of 3 hours for every 3 unit course being taught.

I didn't realize until this term that it means I have to have fifteen hours of student consultation for this term. Besides the 9 hours of special classes I have for this term, that means that I had no more time placed in my schedule for class checking.

Not that the students are consulting all the time, so I could prepare for class and check their exams during the down time between students arriving for and departing from consultation.

@@ I had my first Computer Systems Organization lab class earlier, and it was still in conflict with the Data Communications Lab.

This is because apparently a certain student dropped the subject when the teacher told him that it was the school director himself (who intimidates him) who said the class did not have to be moved anymore (to prevent the wiles of slacker co-teacher).

But if the student had insisted, it would still have been moved.

They only took it to mean the director putting his foot down is equated to him not approving of any proposed change of schedule.

@@ In my assembly language class, we are definitely moving faster with the concepts this term than we did last term; the difference of having a regular (no failures yet) batch as my students.

There are two irregulars who enrolled there though, but I think at least one of them can take it - having higher grades in programming subjects than in math or electronics so far.

@@ My Graphics Two class also seems to be flourishing at meeting twice a week at an hour and a half each instead of once for three hours.

It helps that they are freshmen and sophomores who have not been immersed in the complaining culture that much with the upperclassmen.

@@ There was a memo from the dean telling the faculty of the district having a European tour in April of next year. There is one slot reserved for this campus, and it will only cost 2,500 Euro each.

Except that it translates to almost one hundred sixty thousand pesos.

I'll just sit back and see in anyone here bites. As for whether I'll bite: no, that's what my cousin the travel agent is for.

Session 1831 is still weighing the good points and bad points of this term so far. Class dismissed.
