Student Life

I’m in seven organizations, and in six of them, I was an officer. I am a candidate for first honors in our class, and it surely gives me a lot of headaches at home. I keep my outgoing personality. I hang out with friends and I never miss a week in fastfood chains or minifood stalls with my classmates. At home, as a socially active person, I find time to surf the Net, e-mail m friends, drop some testimonials on my classmate’s profile and read the daily blog of my friends.
This February 6, our Student Body Organization, is organizing a Battle of the Bands. It is an audacious attempt to raise funds for the programs next school year. I am an SBO Officer, a vice-president, and I shall handle the same responsibility as the president does. I can’t let the president do the whole job alone. If there’s someone to help her, it rightfully should be me.
As a KAAKBAY officer (Kabataang Aakay sa Bayan, the official Makabayan Club of our school), I should join our upcoming field trip / educational trip. I am required to participate in the tree-planting activities, gift-giving projects and other tours that the will do.
Meanwhile, our Campus Quiz Circle, which includes me, is getting busy these months. Contests have been constantly popping out at a rate of two instances a week. We should review, for we don’t want to put ourselves on the bottom half of the rankings. The quiz bees generally cover all academic subjects except the subject Filipino. Everything should be reviewed in time.
The Windchime, the Drum and Lyre Band of our school, is joining the annual parade at Barangay Lourdes North West, Angeles City, the place of our principal. We haven’t decided on our piece yet, and after the decision, we still have to discover the notes by ear. It would be on next week. February 2.
Inside our classroom, anticipation is growing for our adviser’s birthday is coming up. The date is February 5, and to tell you, it has been a tradition in our school that all advisory classes should sponsor a Party for their adviser, whether the like it or not. This is especially true on first sections, where everything they do is a statement of who they are.
Projects are also piling up, building a Mount Everest that keeps blocking the energizing sunlight from reaching me. I am blocked by the shadow of despair and fatigue. We will have our 20-person role play by the first week of February about the life during the Medieval Times. Their efforts would be astronomical, as costumes, make-ups, acting, commuting fare and quality time would be spent.
Also, there is this Filipino project. This one, we are required to make an album about all the characters in Jose Rizal’s unrivaled novel, Noli Me Tangere. There are 35 plus characters on that novel, and 15 plus more extra characters. If we were to include all of them, it would take us more than two weeks to do it. Not to mention the planning, the collection payments and the purchasing of materials. The album will be passed this week.
Our English teacher requires us to pass a music video, which was generated by a “trip” of our classmates who made fantastic a music video singing a popular song by Leona Lewis. I wonder why our teacher chose that, for it was so bizarre to think off and very difficult to make. From the planning, to the concepts, to the roles, to the costumes, to the venue, to the practice, to the choreography, to the shoot, to the copying, to the editing and to the saving, it would take a whole generation to finish it!
She also requires us for our whole section to pass a yearbook. And sine I am the class president, I am obliged to carry out the meetings and to direct my classmates on making it. I attended a leadership seminar, but still, you can’t learn all the essential leadership skills in a week’s time! Leadership is a hard task, and taking it is like saying can jump off a 200-foot cliff with a rocky bottom.
Well, that’s what defines school life, a hectic world of problems balanced with a carefree side of life. AS difficult as it is, this obstacles in school life will prepare for the larger challenges that the working life has to offer. There, they are much stricter when it comes to deadlines for it is money that we are talking about, not just about grades.

Still, being rushed with school works really helps. Haha.
