To Cut or Not to Cut?
Jul 02, 2008 I College Philosophy, My Story.This is the question that has rattled my mind the moment I woke up. Of course, without me having to get sick, I wouldn’t have asked myself this in the first place. Considering that I ride the tricycle going to the Boni station and riding the MRT to Araneta Center-Cubao station, walking for several minutes through Farmers and Gateway to ride the LRT to Katipunan, walking some more and then riding the tricycle to Ateneo, it would be too much of a hassle for me to go to school today with my condition.
I was already feeling quite faint yesterday but I thought it would subside so I disregarded it only for it to become worse. And now I’m stuck here at home, updating my blog since I have nothing better to do. I cut all my classes today. There would be a General Assembly for The Guidon (Ateneo de Manila’s official student publication) later at 4:30 and I seriously need to go there. I’d just have to ask my uncle to drive me to Ateneo. I can’t afford to tire myself and end up cutting again tomorrow.
So there, at least my custom theme is up. Yosh! Naruto ^_^ And hooray for a new blog post after… how many days was that again?

Late response. What the heck? I’ve always encouraged my students to cut RESPONSIBLY. No, it’s not reverse psychology but a real advice. If there’s a valid reason, then they’re free to cut. But what they should avoid is cutting class out of whim. ie. to bond a.k.a. bum around with friends. It can be addicting. Once you start to cut for no reason at all and get over the guilt, it’s easier for you to turn that a bad habit (since you’ve done it already). I should know since I was a “serial class cutter” back in college. It was terrible to run out of privileged cuts when I needed it most.
So go ahead and cut, but do it for the right reasons.
