The month of July is full of firsts. I had my first practical test in Social Dance (Good Lord, He blessed me with right and left feet… and not two left feet), and I also had my first quizzes in all of my subjects. I could say that the practical dance was the main highlight for this month, so I named it “Let the Music Take Control.” In dancing, it’s as simple as that, letting the music take control of your body and go with flow. After several hours of practicing, the day of performing our dance piece will now be witnessed by our professor and fellow PE-mates. We were really happy that everything went well, we’ve got 1.25!

New Picture (5)Another first for this month – quizzes. Most of my quizzes are taken online, either using e-LEAP or moodle (Though I really prefer taking exams inside the classroom because online assessments are a lot harder). The picture on the left shows my grade for quiz #1 in Environmental Engineering. I also got high grades with other subjects.

This class is headed by Ms. Lyn Abad, our speech instructor and the mastermind, and it is held every Saturday.  I’m really enjoying this class, I’ve learned so many things in just two Saturdays and I’m so excited to learn more for the upcoming sessions. Before, I thought that as long as you can speak basic English it’s fine already, but with this class, I learned that having a good communication skills, such as emphasis and right pronunciation, is an advantage too, so that your listener would be able to understand your message effectively. The picture on the right is our class logo, we got the idea of this logo from the American box office superhero film “X-Men: First Class” since our class is also the pioneer for the said class.

Another month has passed, new endeavors and new experiences are about to come this August. The prelims week is fast approaching – oh how I missed this one week of sleepless nights. Till next time.

Verse of the Month:

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” – 2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
