Greetings, my dear friend. I am glad that this the end. If you like, you would want to read the end of the end first but you would be an idiot doing that so just stick to the basics and read the end from the start. I assure you though, this isn't the end because the end isn't the end of my recollections but the end is the start of a new wave of recollections. I'm calling this the end because it is the end of the required blog entries requested by our teacher. So, just sit tight and I will recall how it all started.
My recollections started during the third grading of my Senior life. We had a new teacher, an alien face but he had an aura that tells us that we must respect him. I'm talking of a man named Elmer Montejo. I consider him as one of the best teachers that I had encountered but before we elaborate deeply my lighthearted teacher, let's return to how it all began. It all began when he required that we must make 5 entries each with a 500-minimum word condition every week. Isn't it hard? Of course, it is. Having to write 5 entries per week is a tough job, considering that we, as Seniors, are as busy as a printing press. It was very hard at first, but the problem did not eased up our problems during the next weeks but aggravated our problems because this project comprises 40% of our class standing and if we don't have it then we might as well feed ourselves to a school of ravenous piranhas.
Blogging is an educational activity, I admit it because I had learned a lot from it. Broadening my vocabulary, learning grammar and its complex rules, applying correct punctuation marks and correcting any wrong spelling. Of course, if an activity has its positive effects, it also has its negative effects. Tightening of pockets because we need it for logging in and typing our required entries and time management problems because we have little time for putting our required entries because of the hectic schedules we're dealing with. The blog project is both satisfying and tormenting. Why? Satisfying because at last you have something to write upon when you are depressed, angry, blissful or just plain bored. Tormenting, on the other hand, because you always carry the burden of thinking your problems on the blog problem such as time and money management but as we are UP students, we found a solution on treating these problems. Like spending less on invaluable stuff and equally dividing our time so that we could squeeze our blogging project on our schedule. It was quite an adventure for all of us, the Seniors, because we learned to set out priorities and learned to be responsible for our careless actions. I am thankful to our English teacher for showing me the beauty of blogging and teaching me to be more knowledgeable when it comes to English and its forms. Till next time, my friend. Once again, Monsieur Aronnax.
