Voyage to English 2

When I finally receive my C.O.R., I was really nervous when I found out that my section is "A3-2". Most of my blockmates' section is A3-1 and there are still others got separated too but they have someone to accompany with. What about me? What shall I do? I was really confused at that moment because I don't have any blockmates to be my classmate in this subject.

When the time came, I can hear my heart pounding even though I was still far away from Room 116. When I got there, I saw unfamiliar faces. They were talking and laughing with each other while I was standing at the outside door and I don't know what to do. Thank God, there's someone who's walking towards Room 116 and who's very familiar to me. She's a marketing student student too but from the other block. She's standing at the outside door too and I think she's waiting for someone she knows or her classmate. I approaced her and asked her if we have the same room and she said, "Yes.", and I was glad and made friends with her, her name is Narizen. And we got inside the room together. I made other friends with Aimee and Grace (Narizen's blockmates) and Ate Shonnie (a graduating Marketing student)

The teacher doesn't showed up for few days because she sprained her foot. As the time we met her, she talks about her requirements for the course which is English 2 this semester. She talks about the exams, the blogging site or the learning blog (like what I did now), and our term paper. We made some activities like we think of a topic that's very familiar to us and put some subtopic about it, however, it's pair work. Ate Shonnie and I paired up because she's seated beside me. We chose depression as our first topic and we have a lot of a think to do for our specific topic and thesis statement. And our specific topic was Causes of Depression of a Sudent: delayed in allowance, and failing of grades.

As the next meeting, Teacher Lynnie called us to tell her what's our topic pair by pair. It's about our turn and told ma'am our said topic. Unfortunately, ma'am said that delayed allowance is not a cause of a student's depression because it's a student's nature in schooling. We both agree as what ma'am said. And then, ma'am told us to make an outline form about it through topic sentence. By that, we kinda' change our topic into Stress because there are so many related facts about it. Ü
