An Eternity with Her

I hate this class. Honestly, I never find it interesting. I loathe thinking that I would be spending 60 minutes sitting and trying hard not to fall asleep. Her class seems like an eternity.

I liked only one Filipino teacher, his class was the only Filipino class I enjoyed. I didn’t only enjoy his stories, I also enjoyed listening to his lessons and working on the tasks he gives us. I have to admit that I enjoyed the jobs, writing and critical thinking on “Florante at Laura” and other short stories authored by Filipinos. I love our previous Filipino teacher. Too bad he doesn’t teach us anymore.

Our current Filipino teacher is boring. I remember how our previous Filipino teacher admires our current Filipino teacher. He said that she gives more difficult tasks and that we would use a lot of critical thinking. He’s right, though. She gives us complicated jobs that include very critical thinking. She even gives us quizzes we haven’t even had notes yet! I don’t understand why he honors her so much. Sometimes I think he considers her a goddess. Like she knows everything and she teaches very well. But, no. I would rather have him as our teacher. He teaches better. He corrects our wrongs better. He is better.

She taught us everything about poems, essays, plays, short stories and novels. I understood the lessons anyway. Actually, I had already applied what I learned! I had made a poem and a short story. I took a break on writing my novel and I am currently working on a play. Haha. I’m a writer now! The thing is, my works are in English. I really find it hard to express in Filipino and I don’t have a wide range of vocabulary in it. Anyway, I still applied her teachings, right?
