a phenomenology of No Classes

allow me to waste space with a disclaimer.
i may well be in my third semester of philosophy but i don't think i'm already that equipped to throw the word phenomenology around. but here i go using it 'cause here's how i perceive of announcements called No Classes and how we students react.

it would be real hard to generalize. but some anecdotes may shed light.
i remember this student who was so anxious to know whether there really are no classes the next day only to complain on the day itself that he's all bored and with nothing to do.

there are those who spread outdated web pages with actual Ateneans spreading it further without reading how outdated they are, how it was about some storm of long ago.

or this student who would throw at you a text message after another that he got from different other people proving to me how there are in fact No Classes and that i should just confirm it. in short, people who would ask of my opinion but would not make anything of it.

so why bother asking?
that line is a hint that this may all just be a rant.

it may very well be but you have to give it to me.
responses to a No Classes rumor are very very interesting.

especially because a lot of us complain how tuition fees have risen or how there's not enough time to learn a lesson.

there should be a couple of dimwits out there who are laughing right now for triggering all this rumormongering and of how many of us fell into their capriciousness. i laugh with them, especially 'cause buzz marketing is a very hard thing to pull off.

but maybe because we enrolled is the reason why we have classes and why we don't have No Classes as much as we want to. or maybe i could say this 'cause i'm well into my last year of school.

my last year of school.
i think i need to, um, say that more often to myself so i do graduate on time.
i already hear father dacanay laughing.
