Second day

I have three subjects for today: Econ 11, Math 17 and Econ 11, again.

Econ 11, the lecture at least, is from 8 am to 9. I got to school at about 7:30 am. Hindi pa ko late! Hahahahaha. Well anyway, we filed into the Econ auditorium; we sat in the first row, kasi un ung tip ng upperclassmen pag audi ung venue. The prof was a little late, and the class was even more delayed because there was a virus on the ppt he wanted to open. :)) He was rather old, kinda reminded me of Sir Beni without the random mumbling. :)) Same slowness though. :)) So anyway, his assistants finally got the ppt to work, and we got on with our very first (!) official class. It was an introduction basically, but he numbered it as Lecture 1 as opposed to Lecture 0, because "It is good to start things on a good number, etc etc..." I was feeling really really sleepy midway, when he suddenly turned to his left and said abruptly, "Who is that over there? Is that a person?" And from the podium, he crossed to the righthand dark corner of the stage where there stood... an electric fan!!! He thought it was a guard! Ok, nabuhayan na ko nun. Tawang-tawa na kaming lahat. :)) He laughed at his mistake and went back to the podium after saying a few more things about the fan. :))

He's prof Gerardo Sicat by the way. Well sikat din ata siya (pun not intended), cause my mom was really impressed when she heard it was him. I hope his future classes would be speedier next time, but I don't mind too much; I actually like him a lot, cause he's such a roly-poly old man. :))

I had a two hour break til my next class, so I went with Milcah (who's my blockmate and therefore has nearly the same schedule as me) to the University Registrar to get her id changed. We walked there. Of course it was inevitable since the jeeps were going the opposite direction, but I still disliked the walk. Mukha na kaming yagit pagkatapos. Ba't kasi ang init ng Pilipinas?!?! Anyway, we got there only to find that the Photo Office was still closed. So we sat and waited. Dalawang electric fan ung nakatapat samin, haha. Grabe, kung pwede lang, ok rin un tambayan kasi may electric fan na marami. So there we were, sitting for a good while and just watching people, when I looked to my left and suddenly saw... this guy. Crush ko na siya registration pa lang (hindi kami pareho ng course though). :)) Akalain mo un, sa laki ng UP dun sa OUR ko pa siya nakita. :)) Kaya... wala lang. Nakakaaliw lang na may tinitingnan na tao. :)) Tanungin niyo si Milcah kung anong itsura hahaha!

Thirty minutes later we got up and started walking to the Math building for our next class. Sabi ko, "May alam akong shortcut!", kasi gusto ni Milcah mag-jeep. Sus, jeep ka pa e pwede naman lakarin. So we went back to the main road and turned left, another left and another left. So kumbaga, kung i-drowing niyo yan sa mapa umikot lang kami. :)) Gusto na kong barilin ni Milcah. Well we should've turned right pala. We got to the MB pretty okay, except that we were drenched with sweat and the hour we spent in front of the fan earlier became useless.

So, Math 17. The prof was late 15 minutes, though I don't know if it was because he went to the wrong room. He gave us the syllabus and a few reminders. (We'll be using the book we had in 4th year, ung Leithold; whenever I see that book I'll be reminded of Ms Valente.) He started our first lesson, which was about Sets (and crap, wala akong dalang notebook nun!). Definition of sets, elements, operations, rule and roster method, etc etc. Medyo nakakakaba kasi he'd randomly call out a name from the list and ask you something. And you have to fight down the impulse to stand when reciting, cause he said not to. So we were getting along fine, when he gave us this statement towards the end of the lecture.

True or False: If A is a subset of B, then A intersection B and B are not disjoint sets.

"How many say true? Raise your hands."

Inanalyze ko muna nang onti. Di ba... true? And then he said, "How many say false?" Perry raised his hand. "Why do you say it's false?"

"Because sir, if A is a null set and B is also a null set, then the intersection of A and B will be a null set. Therefore..."

Basta he said something more. He lost me at the elipses. :| And then the people in front started this null-set neepery and everybody was like, what?! WHAAAAT?! Or maybe that was just me. Basta, the intersection of two null sets will produce a set that is equal but also disjointed. Kasi null sets have nothing in them. But if you have nothing in both your sets, then technically you have something common. Which is nothing. So... ba't nga ulit false? False ba ung sagot? O True? (PLEASE kung may nakakaintindi ng kaguluhang ito, sagutin niyo ung tanong. :)) )

Crap. Smarty pants ung Math class ko. Pano ba yan, wala akong gusto sa mga ganyang intellectual discussions. :| Mag-aaral nga ako para makasagot ako nang tama.

Hay grabe. More Math 17 tomorrow. Hooray.

We were late for the Econ 11 discussion class right after. I agreed to take the jeep pa, na umikot nang kahaba-haba. Then is stopped at AS, kasi naghintay pa siya ng pasahero. So wala ring point sumakay ng jeep, kasi hindi rin kami dumaan ng Econ building. As in malayong malayo ung AS sa Econ. :| Nilakad pa namin. Anyway the good thing is, since I surmise that people just barge into class without having to say hello or explain why they're late, we just walked in and took seats. Buti na lang we just had to present our Form 5 to Ms. Iva, who's one of prof Sicat's teaching assistants.

That basically sums up my second day. I fell asleep on the couch the moment I got home.
