Convictions of the StellarBoy (Part 2)

October 06, 2008

Academic life is tedious and a lot of bloodshedding, but definitely fun.

I was a little intimidated with MATH17 (College Algebra and Trigonometry) at first glance. In my high school days, Math was not really my forte, but I had to conquer it in college.

But what had influenced me to love Math? It's the music and the smarts of YoungMah - Ms. May Anne Mata.

Her passion for UP and her music made me wanna raise up my love for UP more. It's always awe-inspiring for me. During our last session, where we had a presentation per group about what's good about Math, Ma'am Mayang, as we call her, did a rap as a finale presentation. We, as an audience had a great time.

I hope that the freshies would love her, too, 'cause she's their MATH26 instructor next semester.

As my Komsai life progresses, I just thought that the road would be smoother along the way. CMSC 11 and CMSC 56 were fairly easy. MATH26, because of inspiration, still gave me a 3.0. I absorbed along the C language and all the Logic Inferences and all the concepts of Limits very well, but as I went into CMSC 21 and CMSC 57 and STAT 1 and PHYS 3 and MATH 27, I was in Waterloo, and still am.

Major subjects loaded me up. I can't even think of what to prioritise, so, I wasn't absorbing every lesson well.

Linked lists are still confusing for me. Newton's Law of Motion and Hooke's Law are still uncertain for me. Integration techniques are still mind-boggling for me.

However, in lieu of every confusions and doubts, God is with me all the way.
