Saturday Class

I’ve never experienced this before. I never even had any idea about make-up classes up until my first year of high school. It is my first time to have regular classes on a weekend. Actually, I dislike the idea.

In CavSci, it is normal to have so much work, like assignments and projects, during the weekdays. I got used to it already. What I do is to stay up late at night every day of school for it and then, sleep in on the weekends. Saturday would be my day for me. It’s the time for me to lie in bed the whole day watching tv or sleeping and not caring about all the worries of school. On Sundays, I would do my assignments until it’s night.

Weekends are very important to me. I need it. I think I wouldn’t survive school without a break once in a while. That’s what Saturday is for me. It’s a way of escaping from all my problems for a while.

Now, with make-up classes, I don’t have that. I can’t use Sunday for it because we still have assignments to do. I actually hate this. I still can’t even understand why we needed this. I thought it was for those who had weeks of suspended classes for A(H1N1). It never happened in our school. We didn’t even have SemBreak. We had relatively few days of suspended classes, mostly because of storms. I think we really didn’t need this. I think we just have the right number of school days. We don’t need to “make-up” for anything.

Robotics

We just had our first robotics seminar today. I was really excited about it because I was really into programming. I wanted to experience robotics since I was a freshman.

In the beginning of the day, I was really excited. I arrived late which isn’t a very unusual thing for me. Anyway, even though I came after the time they told us to be there, I wasn’t really late. They were just sitting there not doing anything and Aries worrying about his printed shirt (it should be plain white...hahaXD). We just waited there for hours. I was actually, little-by-little, losing interest in the seminar because of all the waiting. Then, they asked us to go up the robotics centre. We, then, waited on the stairs just beside the centre. I was excited again, then they said that it was brown-out so we still can’t begin.

Then, finally, our lesson started! It was fun. We first had a lecture about the robot then, we started building a robot! It took us maybe an hour to build it. It was really cute. Then we programmed it to move! I love the part with the programming. Haha! I’m looking forward to next week’s class.
