Seen Your Senior
Tuesday, June 20, 2006
The very simple fact that there are now five other people from my high school studying in Ateneo comforts me. Sigh had already graduated before I entered college, and it used to be only PJ, my Makiling mommy, and I on campus. But now there are five more with me—Marie, Jica, Danella, Marielle and Godo—and I feel this strange security because of it. Six Ibarangs studying in Ateneo at the same time! SIX!
SIX! It’s a huge number, since hardly any Ibarangs choose this school, and when they do, it’s usually just one per batch with years in between each person. I just love the thought of walking down the halls knowing that there’s a handful of them out there. Sounds demented, I know, but just give me this. It’s one of those “we were like a family” things that I can’t elaborate on without sounding like a dork. Basta.

A quick rundown of my professors for this sem:
Tan for Histo 166: practical, looks and acts like Christine Bellen
Roche for Theo 151: a bit menacing, looks and acts like Skeletor
Kaelin for Philo 104: very promising, looks and acts like a Coldplay replacement member
Fr. Nick for Euro Film: I’ve been under him once before, looks and acts like a little lolo, and I love little lolos
Ty for Film Histo: I’ve been under him three times before, looks and acts like, um, Ty, and I love little goths (Oh, Em. I can hear your sniggers from here. :p)
I have Lorenzana for thesis. I haven’t seen him yet, but I heard he’s good.
And thus ends my first boring, school-related post for the sem. I thank you.
