I acquired a Load Rev form for a measly P15.00 earlier this afternoon. I want to change my section in Hi165 since the teacher is so boring, I don't like his teaching style, plus I'm grade conscious it makes my Thursdays especially heavy -- six hours straight without any breaks in between. I wanted to change my section in that particular class since a classmate of mine was changing her classes as well. She has classes from 9am until around 6pm without any breaks in between her classes. I saw her giving her Load Rev form to Fr. Arcilla, and he signed it without hesitation or asking why she was revving out of his class.

I'll be collecting the needed signatures for my Load Rev form tomorrow. I will be doing this not only because of my heavy Thursday schedule, but also because I am intimidated by the heavy load placed in front of me.

It's just like what Fr. Arcilla kept repeating in his class a while ago:

"If you don't want to improve, then you are not human."
