volting in
November 22, 2007How come CW students are not so bonded with each other in their course (except perhaps with their own blockmates) and with other courses in UP Min? I mean, I don’t even know how many upperclassmen I have to recognize. Who are my upperclassmen for that matter. I found out that this certain upperclass person was actually in the BAE program just moments before the end of last semester.
What is with BAE students that they tend to be very quiet in noisy events? Like the Torch Night or the Freshmen Night for example. People would be surprise to see BAE students come up with their cheer. Nada in the cheerdance competition last Dula (not that I wanted to join, though).
Well, my point is this, aside from the Communication Arts students, isn’t it just right that BAE students should be expected to be another very social and interactive people in the campus. I mean seriously, creative writing is a social course. We are expected to socialize to learn things and write about them.
An alumnus mentioned that it has always been the trend among BAE students. Wow, what a trend for supposedly noisy people. It’s like we don’t exist. Should we really be like this?
No, we’re not nerdy. At least I think not. I mean, look at us! What’s so nerdy about us? I don’t mind being distant with other courses as long as we are not distant with our fellow coursemates. I can’t even name five freshmen in this course. No, we can’t always go out and find them and get to know them one by one. What a dilemma! My up-class are unapproachable and our freshies are hiding. How would I ever get to know them?
What happened to Tinta? It could actually be the only venue where BAE students of different batches could congregate and get to know each other. Nobody shows up though. What a shame. Sayang talaga!
The fact that I want to stress out is that everyone in this course should be united. We should get to know each other. Believe it or not, we need each other. We should string and paste each other up for us to work well.
Biologist gathers up with biologists, food technologists with food technologists, anthropologists with anthropologists. What’s keeping us from gathering with our own kind?
Let us build our own (aspiring) Creative Writers’ community right here in UP. It is imperative! We need to form our own Writer’s Block where only BAE people are recognized. Let Tinta work. I urge CW students to get along with each other.
A community of five students of different year levels is still a community. It is a start. Let’s volt in! Nyahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
Wehehehe.. But I’m damn serious.

blame it all to writers’ inherent “individualism”.
hindi ko nga kilala yung upclass na classmate natin sa CW.
SWEAR!

yup yup! i definitely agree. individualism IS important but the point is that it doesn’t mean that we should be isolated to each other. which upclass are you pertaining to?
