Struggle

Mood: irritated
Now Playing: donora, shh


"4.Wash away your “negative rantings” about this task we are requiring you because this is what it takes to reach a LEVEL 4 Accreditation. We are ALL in the same boat but we choose to be team players for the success of the College of Science."

lol sori pero wtf. wtf talaga.

This is part of a memo hovering around the college, since it's on it's way to achieve a level 4 accreditation. Apparently, the students are required to make reflection papers that would highlight a "significant learning experience" in the subject, and the quote above is one of the guidelines on how to it.

EXCUSE ME, COLLEGE OF SCIENCE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. WHAT THE FFFFF.

I have never been so disgusted with my college. The past blunders (like staging and requiring all students for a giant human rosary for a fucking guiness record (wtf was that?!) and allowing that shitty design of a quadri science shirt to even exist) are almost acceptable. Those were allowable blunders with the excuse that there are oversights and lapses of judgement on well, reasoning.

But to require the students to, in effect, lie about their learning experiences is almost unforgiveable. To repeat, i have never felt so disgusted about being a science thomasian until now.

Alam mo yung feeling na naglalakad ka sa sobrang lumang stairs sa tuwina'y papasok ka sa klase? Tapos mapapaisip ka pa kung ilang paa na rin ang nagdaan sa daang nilakakad mo? Tapos biglang ganito? Nakakainit ng buchi, sir.

And to think that i know a lot of things, things that would probably make wives and fathers think twice about enrolling this child in this school. The walls have eyes and ears, y'know. This is not a threat, but a statement on how much crap i've been taking, on how much crap i've been understanding.

This has been a post. This has been me making a stand of my own. We cannot exist without making a struggle, and it is in these struggles that we squirm for freedom.

nakakagalit nga. even us, students who already graduated were required to do this shit. :|
sorry but they give back less. i mean, they don't even fix those shitty facilities like our lab.
fix facilities first before aiming for accreditation!
