Another semester has begun in De La Salle University - Dasmariñas. It is a very exciting experience especially for students like us, who are new to this kind of environment. For us, accountancy students, it feels good to see our classmates again because anyone can be removed from the program if we'll not maintain a certain grade. We are so happy to see that most of our block mates were retained but because of the retention policy, there are some who were forced to change their courses. :'(
On our first day, like every Monday in CBA, we went to school wearing our fabulous business attires. We went to our assigned classroom where were supposed to meet our first professor, Ms. Joanne R. Balgemino. She's our prof in Fundamentals of Accounting, our first major subject ever. We felt nervous not knowing what our teacher would be like and what kind of lessons would we learn. But as we get to know her, we found that she's a pretty awesome teacher. We learned the basic principles in Accounting and it was an interesting topic. that day also, we met our professor in English who is Mr. Jonathan V. Gochuico. He is the author of the book that we are using in his subject and he is the one who gave us the task to have a blog. Actually, at first we thought that it was a very hard thing to do because most of us doesn't have any experience writing a blog but we felt excited doing it because it's just like having our personal diary but the only difference is just we have a certain topic to talk about. The day ended with us knowing our other professor.
The next day, we're very excited because of our swimming class. Most of us were afraid because not all of us know how to swim but we must comply with the requirement if we really want to stay in the program. Despite of the fear, some of us are very eager to have the swimming class, its not just they know how to swim but they are also after the bonding, for the first time, with our block mates. It's just sad that one of our block mates cannot attend since she will take the adapted PE class. She has a certain ailment that cause her to have skin rash when in contact with detergents and chlorine. Too bad she can't see us in our swim wears. :(
Another thing that makes the second semester different was the schedule. We had a lot of vacant time which makes us have a subject until 7:00pm. Though that's the case, we all think that the schedule is okay. We get to spend more time with our friends during break time and not only that, we could also use this time to study whenever we have quizzes and such. The week went on and we met our other professors. Most of them were great. They don't seem to be very strict and that's what we like in a teacher. We all hope to have a good relationship with all of them. ;)

Why one step at a time?
It's because we think that there's no need to rush things out. Just like the saying says, "Haste makes waste." With the pressure of passing and getting high grades, it's not good to take things too fast.. because if we do, we might regret it in the end. Just enjoy life while we can. Face all the challenges with bravery and always believe that things happen for a reason. But most especially, remember that God will never give us a problem and challenges that we cannot survive, so just go with the flow and take one step at a time. :)
