Law in the Bland Manner

Some things about the UP College of Law just leave a bad taste in your mouth...

ass kissing in the grand manner

I can't believe it. Classes have started and a new batch of freshman have enrolled. As usual, they've been asking for "tips and tricks" on how to survive law school. But more and more of them, to my horror, have been asking for advice on how to make "diskarte" their professors. Ugh.

Examples:
1. Oo, pumunta kayo sa IBP rally sa Mendiola this thursday, andun si Prof. (insert name of prof). Tapos make sure na makikita ka niya dun.
2. Dapat respectful ka at magpaka-meek ka sa prof na yan, ayaw niya ng mayabang.
3. Pag may lecture or seminar or talk yung prof, attend ka.
4. Bilhin mo yung book ng prof tapos bring it to class para makita niya.
5. Dapat malinis itsura mo (for guys) or dapat huwag kayong magpakaganda (for girls) for this prof...

Pero, maybe the upperclassmen are at fault. Hmmm. Parang may mentality yung iba na lahat ng profs nadadaan sa bola. Or for some, they seem to think na REQUIRED ang pambobola sa professors. Tsk tsk tsk.

BTW, mga frat"men"(?). Keep your childish, insecure, violent behavior out of malcolm hall.

Oh, sa mga freshmen pala. Wag kayong crab. Please. There are more than enough students in malcolm who want to get ahead at the expense of other people. Wag niyo nang dagdagan.

Good luck sa classes ninyo. There's no substitute for studying.
