After our major class in Accounting, I went directly to room 116 -- my English classroom. Since our teacher was absent during the past two meetings, I thought that she would still be late or absent so I didn't mind if I'll be late or be there on time. Anyway, the class was waiting 'loudly' for the teacher to arrive and few minutes later, a short, "nerdy looking" teacher came in. I wasn't really surprised and all since I already had a clue as to who our teacher is going to be but what I didn't know was that she has a very STRONG and POWERFUL voice.
Anyway, the first meeting with her was alright. I was pretty surprised by her POWERFUL, well MODULATED voice and I must say that it's very good to listen and hear it. At first, she talked about classroom policies, how her grading system works and the things we'll be covering for the whole semester especially our term paper. Then, she also introduced and talked about blog stuffs; how to create blogs, how to blogs, etc. Well, I was really confused why we have to blog (which involves typing) even though the subject clearly tells us to write, write and write things. But the good thing was, she explained to us the reason.
Even before I met our teacher, I already had the feeling that English 2 will be very hectic and tedious especially the part when we have to make, edit and defend our term papers which is already expected. The making part of the paper would be hard for me since I'm a kind of person who can't decide easily and directly on certain things and I'm not really into writing (as what I have blogged before), so it will be hard. And as to the defending part, this will really be a challenge for someone who has mannerisms. Even before in high school, I have a difficulty of managing my actions whenever I speak to someone. I tend to do and show quirky things unexpectedly which is pretty disturbing to look at. Well, I can sort this all out... hopefully. This whole thing would REALLY be a great challenge.
Also, she included the "ENGLISH SPEAKING POLICY" which is pretty bad to my part. Well, I'm already used to it since during my high school years, we used to speak in English but I assure you, I'm NOT good at it. And the punishment is WORSE, we get to entertain the class whenever we speak in other dialects besides English through dancing or singing.
I must say that the first encounter with our teacher was pretty shocking yet satisfying. If the first part of the semester is hard, how much more in the latter part?
I'll just hope for the best of us----- ME!
