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.

regarding your comments about freshmen asking questions about pano "dumiskarte" sa mga profs, i think that it's clear in any sane law student's mind that that is not something that would necessarily affect one's grade or performance in class. in the end, we all know that it boils down to studying and doing well in exams. i think most of the time "diskarte" works only to maybe, and this is a bigtime maybe at that, recits with these profs will not be as horrible, or hindi sila masyado mapag-initan. after all, aminin na natin, meron talagang profs who do not like it when students dress a certain way, or if they dress a certain way or likes it when students don't come off as mayabang. that i think is the main reason why those questions get asked. i don't think however that anyone actually thinks that it would be the basis of anyone's final grade.
anyway, sooner or later, all of us do find out that none of the profs here, well at least, none of the profs that i've had, ay nadadala sa bola. and i think moreso when you've been here for a couple of years, you will realize that more and more.
hmmm... "ass kissing in the grand manner" could also be transposed to OWL's theory on the bad man. some kids think they increase their chances of getting good grades by analyzing and trying to please the judge. sunod na niyan forum-shopping. hahaha.
personally, it's crappy enough as it is that our deified professors waste no time in reminding us our fates are in their hands. no point in making your life more miserable.
despite the rough road to freedom and/or perdition (haha), i am proud to say that it's possible to do things in your way and on your own terms and make it out of malcolm alive. :D
How you dress or is you come off as myabang shouldn't be the basis but it's a sad thing profs especially in law school tend to ger irked by those kind of students.if you don't like you for whatever reason, mayabang ka sa paningin nila or what, and they and can get back at you.
