My preparation and ID validation towards face to face classes

I still remember the day when I had my very last class on university. It was second week of March, to be specific March 16 when President Duterte implemented that there will be a total lockdown to entirety of Luzon. Everyone was shocked and at first some retaliate. They cannot accept the fact that covid virus exist.

What makes that day memorable is because I lend my flash drive to one of my friend in school because I need to recopy something from her. That flash drive is quite pricey and unfortunately I didn't able to get it back. In addition, the same month we have an ongoing project which to be submitted at March 20. I already finished it but wasn't able to pass it since our professor cancelled any project-related things. It hurts to see my hard work wasn't paid off because that project was made with sleepless nights and extreme research. It is a web site.

Announcement from school (ID Validation)

Since Cavite is under alert level 1, there are a lot of lifted banned and ordinances. Everyone is rejoicing because we can finally enjoy all the perks of life that was taken from us by the virus. We can almost go to anywhere we want and have a good time with friends. In fact, people are fluctuate to malls, supermarkets, parks and cinemas. Kids are very excited to go outside because their parents can bring them out now.

In part of alert level 1, face to face classes are finally starting. My previous school on high school was holding a face to face classes to specific sections. Although there are some who is still afraid to join the limited face to face classes, but we cannot deny the fact that those students are missing the school environment. There is no place like school where we can enjoy our life without being bothered by our siblings, cousins and our unending tasks at home.

With this preparation, our university announced that we will be having an ID validation for the whole week. My friends and I chose March 17, Thursday to validate our IDs. This ID validation purpose is to make sure that you are still a bonafide student and have been permitted by parents to attend for the incoming physical classes. I am actually excited on how our everyday life on the new normal will be like in university. Are we still the same energy and environment? That is something I am looking forward to.

Morning preparation (heading to university)

It is 8 o'clock in the morning, I am currently with Genina. She is a close friend of mine. We are waiting for others to come and it is freaking hot. My forehead is sweating like a flow of river and my underarm is quite wet too. I talked to the security guards and they are still friendly as always. They are very talkative and makinh us feel welcome again in the university.

We are about to go to Library for our ID validation when we were approached by a professor. We didn't knew him, but he's just asking some questions like what year we are and what's the purpose of our visit. The university is quite messy because of tumultuous amount of dried leaves from the ground. It is very unpleasant to see, but I just missed the environment here. We are not allowed to walk and tour around the university to avoid uncertainties like possible spread of virus.

The library is very clean and the smell is like a fresh Orchid and Sampaguita. There are vases inside which you can notice how much it was cared for. The librarian asked our requirements for ID validation and we gave it away. Just few minutes, she handled our IDs with sticker at the back. It was a proof that we are already validated and can be attended to incoming semester. I'm just excited coming to university with other students for the incoming semester.

Plans after ID validation

We came to university early so that we can do some errands after. Our plan was to visit our friend working to Mcdonald and to dine in as well. She wasn't able to come with us in our preferred schedule because her manager doesn't allowed her. We are now walking towards Mcdonald and thankfully it was gloomy weather.

I cannot resist to smile today. It's been a long time since we had met and my friends are just too lovely. They are real friends which is worth it to treasure. Alright, I don't want to make a long drama because I might trip walking. I plan to go to Robinson mall after we ate to Mcdonald. I want to buy new power bank. Just remember to smile and have fun today.
