THE CREATIVE SIDE OF US :)))

Our last week before preliminary exam was nerve-racking. Few days from now, we would be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. This means that as of this moment, we should all be relaxed and delightedly waiting for Christmas to come. However, most of us can’t even feel the breeze of Christmas. Because of the upcoming major examination, we were assigned to do a lot of tasks like assignments, projects and even activities. As if all of these are still not enough, we were also scheduled for various examinations. We have nothing left to do but be geeks and spend time looking at our notes. We were so busy and stressed to even notice the days passing by. Yet despite of these “hardships”, we also enjoyed some of the activities done this week. One activity that I think most of us enjoyed is the collage making. Last December 15 and 17, we have been designated by our beloved REED professor – Mr. Eduardo Panulin to do a collage about our perception when we here the word “church”. Aside from the collage, we should provide an essay that explains our work. We, as accountancy students, have been familiarized to be the “busy people” as we are doing different assigned school tasks and combining them with the creativeness needed which is also accompanied by wild realistic imaginations. That is why when we heard that we are going to make collage, we don’t feel even the slightest bit surprised. We are getting used little by little at our overload schedules.

December 15 - Tuesday, it was the start of the activity. Every student in the classroom was very busy doing their group task showing their cooperation, but due to the limited span of time, most of us weren’t able to finish them up. Because of that, we were allowed to take it home and do some additions to make it more presentable. Some groups even want to continue and finish their collage but because it’s almost 7pm and it’s already late, we have no choice but to stop doing it and just take it home.

December 17 – Thursday, it’s our time to present it by speaking in front of the class and show the collage. We were allowed to code switch because it’s very comfortable to speak and express ideas in that way. During the presentation, everyone saw the unique ways of how the collage was made and that is because of the own interpretations that everybody have. We all made it with full efforts and the finished product was the result of unity and creativeness that each member of the group shared.

Honestly speaking, we enjoyed listening to our classmates presenting their own made collage. We showed that Accountancy is not everything about Brains. We all have our own talents to be proud of. There is even one collage made by our other classmates that amazes us until now. We think that it can even win at a contest :)). At the same time, we also prove that no matter how busy we are, we can still enjoy every precious seconds we spend with each other. These little activities serve as a great bond as well as an amusement to all of us. Even at a devastating week like this, we can still have bonding times together and appreciate the breeze of Christmas. :)))
