For Mam Tabang

In my first semester in law school, I was surprised to find out that a Basic English course is on the list of subjects I needed to enroll in. PSU School of Law must be the only law school that includes this course in curriculum. It's good, though and I have nothing against it. I think it would help a lot re-learning the basics of the universal language especially since our laws and jurisprudence are written in English. And hey, the Bar Exams had never been conducted in Filipino ( Did I hear that story of a very brilliant law student, so brilliant and patriotic, that in the Bar Exams he answered in Filipino to further his clamor of "Filipinizing" our legal system? He did not make it, of course. )

One of the tasks we had in the course was journal writing. And since I really do not write, I would just take note of the subject of my journal entry each day. There were days I forgot to take note of an event or extraordinary thing that happened that I had to recall by asking my classmates. My notes for my journal entries piled up until I crammed my way into submission day.

I would like to post in here some entries of my journal. :) This is for Ma'am Ruth who's always been very understanding of her students and with whom we never had any qualms re-learning the basics of English. We had a meaningful time with you, Ma'am! We know it's going to be the same case in our Advanced English class this semester.
