Schools here in Tacloban City, Philippines has suspended classes for a week due to positive cases of H1N1. The students are currently very happy with the sudden vacation, but the elementary and high school departments have to go to school for five Saturdays to pay off the number of days being missed. The college students sure are happy since their prelim exams has been extended, they have more time to study and prepare.
My brother who is currently a 2nd year high school student is very happy, and doesn’t mind the extra five Saturdays they have to go to school. He said that only a few people attends the Saturday classes and I guess they can hang out together after classes.
wow! :O
hee hee~
still, i guess a little vacation is always welcomed by students.
thank you!!
aah wow!! congratulations to you for graduating college~~!!! that’s so awesome! now, are you ready for the “real” world!!? dun dun dun. lols, kidding.
Err.. yeah. I’m on the real world… But quite a long time ago. I started working when I was in 2nd year college.
As a webdesigner…
Yikes. But despite the health issue, having a weeks off sounds like fun just as long as they don’t contract the virus. Enjoy the week, and stay safe. =)
Yeah, my brother did enjoy his vacation by being a couch potato. haha.
Seriously my bro needs some physical activities.
I’m quite envious of him though. During my time of studying, I didn’t have a 1 week vacation like him.
And this would be the reason why you’re wearing a protective mask today, right cha?
I had sensitive nose that day. That’s not the reason while I wore a mask though. =p
Yeah, and it’s a week. I’ll savor this for sure.
Be sure to do well. The vacation’s over now. :-p
Ah, how lucky.=D Back in when I was studying there, classes are often suspended during the rainy season.
Wow, due to typhoons? I used to have suspended classes too… At least twice during the “ber” months.
I like your brother ;D He definitely knows dos and don’ts of a school life ;] If it was my country, my University and my faculty group, we wouldn’t spot any difference with yet another week long classes “suspension” ;]
How ’bout YOU Charlie? You wrote this post so impersonal >>. You’d definitely leave the classes for a month if needed ;] (so would I >>.)
Take care !! !! !!
Haha. I won’t leave the class for a month even if needed, though I would back then during my high school days.
I’m just quite envious of my brother though. During my time of being a student, this never had happened. I surely would love a week vacation =p
But sadly, that won’t happen anymore coz’ I’m done with my studies, I may take up masteral sooner, but it won’t be as fun as college life.
