Whew!! It’s been almost 7 months since the start of the school year 2005-2006. Again, the last quarter of the school year is fast approaching. It only means one thing – CRAMMING NA SAD!!!

Hehe.. We, the ‘iskolar ng bayan’ always do that thing when January, February, and March will be knocking again on our heads, reminding us again to “Hoy!! Mahuman nalang ang school year wala gihapon ka gatinarong. Asa naman tong ingon nimo na ‘Magtinarong nako…’ ?!? Hangtod karon wala gihapon nimo na gituman.. Unsa man na na scholar!!” Famous line eh? Well, it’s what we’re always saying during after the recognition and distribution of cards. We often regret why we haven’t got high grades, why we haven’t pass that simple assignment, etc. As the old saying goes, “Regret always comes last”. For me, it’s a common scenario during the last days of the year that students do this and that. For four years of staying at Pisay, only a few do not resort to last-minute cramming of doing projects, polishing research papers, studying for the exams, etc. As our own saying goes, “Iskolar gyud!!”!

There’s loads of stuff in store for us Pisay studz when we come back to school next year - Start of the 4th Quarter, SMCT Festival ’05, Achievement Test, JS Prom, etc. Speaking of SMCT Festival ’05, that’s what I’m after for now. Here’s my expectations for the upcoming SMCT Fest ’05;

Firstly, the SMCT this year is earlier than the usual. I hope that the Pisay studz will be able to prepare their investigatory projects, researches and other project displays before the said event. Minimize cramming if possible, and more prepared students for the festival. Hoping that the activities will be lingaw and simply bonggacious!! I hope that the activities won’t be time-pressured so that all of us can enjoy it. The t-shirts, I hope that it will be nice, colorful, and, creative. No Science Congress please!! So the juniors and seniors won’t be pressured..hehe..

To sum up, I expect the SMCT Festival to be enjoyable for the teachers, students, guests, and for everybody. We shouldn’t bear in mind that the upcoming big event will be a pressure but a time for the students to showcase what they have as projects which are applications to what they had learned for the past 7 months. As to what the name of the school suggests, PSHS-CMC is a science and technology-inclined school so the students should showcase their abilities towards science and technology. That’s our edge among other ordinary high schools so we be proud of it. For the success of the SMCT Festival ’05, aja aja fighting!!! :)
