College Fiesta 08
College Fiesta 08 or better known as the 60th Anniversary of Ateneo de Davao University. My current college alma mater who provides students with utmost knowledge, utmost discipline and the practice of “magis”. But what do you think about this year’s fiesta? Would it be successful? Would it? Would it? For me, it’s not. Why? With all the preparations given to us, with hours planning in the said fiesta, and I call it unsuccessful even though the fiesta is tomorrow and it never started yet.
Have you noticed? If this is a fiesta, should all classes be suspended? Should we deserve to celebrate it without classes? This is a rant and it’s on.
Back in the days when caveman used stones to create fire (wait, wrong article, sorry - Author). OK round 2, back in the days when we celebrate college fiesta by starting a motor cade or a parade rather from Rizal Park to Ateneo de Davao with not much of a casualty, not much of a problem since it’s very near and we don’t need to complain about the heat. I don’t know about the others but for me, it’s not that hurtful. This year is worst. I thought 60 years would mean, 60 years of education excellence and they would like us to parade from Ateneo college to Ateneo grade school. Are you kidding? Though, for me, I don’t complain because naturally, I could walk that far. Without rest, I could go on. But for others, especially women who don’t like to walk that far, would you consider it as part of what Ateneo could give to us students? But we can’t do anything about this because it’s in the schedule. They can’t change in the last minute because all has been set.
Tonight, I’ll pack my bag containing a slipper, a bunch of water or an energy drink perhaps, extra shirts and I mean, a lot of them and an umbrella. I pray that this is the most unforgivable and memorable fiesta that I celebrated. The most grueling by nature.
