While I was walking around the corridors of the building, I saw a rare incidence of diplomatic student rampage: students rejoicing because classes got suspended.
Along the halls, everyone who knew of the good news cheered on the announcement by the Office of the Secretary General. Later on, as the message got passed through classroom to classroom announcements and via SMS, you'd see that uncontainable happiness from the eye bag circumscribed eyes of the students. "Yay! No case presentation for today!" or "No quizzes!" were all I heard from the lower year levels as they started to go out of the classrooms hugging each other like they were fresh from liberation.
I can’t get it why they were so euphoric; I was indifferent at the matter. Probably student nurses must be so stressed so these class interruptions served as their escape rope from all quizzes, duty hours, case presentations, and recitations. What the lower years don’t recognize is that these academic requirements are there to haunt them until finished and that suspension of classes is just prolonging the agony of even thinking about them. Suspension of classes is clearly not a Win-win situation as they would just be bombarded with the requirements and their deadlines once classes resume – additional stress for you then. You might say that, suspension of classes may allow the students to have more time to study, I digress. You’ll more likely sleep or watch DVD, or something.
Anyway, I’m heading home before Espana Blvd. Waterpark reopens.
