catching up: two

(part 2 of an n-series special)

so far, we've had four suspensions of classes virtually nationwide. and i'm not complaining, but... i wanna learn! and having a bumlike lifestyle doesn't help, just when i learned how to wake up early and all those whatnot.

and the rains... ah. they came in two months late. why? remember hurricane katrina and that big earthquake back then? they both literally shook the world, tilting it off its axis by two more degrees. unfortunately, our government relies on a poor, outdated knowledge base, thus they didn't know about it, so two months later, and having a threatening dry spell at hand, they are forced to administer cloud seeding for the survival of our agribusiness sector.

well, as of now our lands are still relatively dry, and children are forced to stay within the confines of their homes (or commercial centers, probably), thus cutting short any academic momentum gained from early june up to last tuesday. at least that's how i feel right now, and there are more who share my sentiments, then it spells a potential problem for the current Philippine educational system as well, i.e. the start of classes being moved from june to september, american style.

but wait, at least two more holidays are to come. oooh, i can't wait.

p.s. talk about academic momentum being halted: i'm supposed to have made a write-up on cinemalaya 07's best picture, tribu, two days ago. until now i haven't started yet. sheesh.
