Anyone here for Atheism?

Early this afternoon in our make-up class for Philo103, it was our group's turn to report for recitation grades. Our topic was perhaps the most eye-opening one other than "Phenomenology of Love" which was last week and a "Ms. E. de Leon Exclusive" topic. Perhaps because Atheism is so against the beliefs we all have and on our faith in God. Therefore, it was quite a controversy.

Anyways my friend Eric did the assigning and I got Argument of Human Alienation and Argument of Theological Irrelevance. Sounds confusing? Well, I won't discuss it online. But I will discuss the pain and confusion of how I did it. I spent more than three hours on the computer last night just to type up my English102 Chapter 2 and 3 as well as understand my two sub-topics for Philo.

I typed up six pages worth of big texts to be photocopied onto a transparent paper for the Overhead Projector as a visual aid. I spent 60 pesos at the K-Stuff (which, by the way, they moved to a new location). I was already running late (an hour and ten minutes late to a 2-hour class) and I honestly wouldn't mind being considered absent... but I still had to submit my Chapter 2 and 3 and clarify things with my partner for the Term Paper.

Eric, Joanna, Shiela, and Ate Angge were my group mates for explaining Atheism to the class. We all had visual aids so I think we did our report well. It was also balanced with Ms. E. de Leon's comments and further insights in which she inserted in-between our reportings. I was very nervous in reporting, I don't know why. My classmates also made me read the Tagalog/Pilipino explanations that I had included into my report instead of letting me allow one of them to read it aloud to the rest of the class.

Anyways, we spent time at the USC. Huh? The University Student Council Office? I know, it's not exactly a place we would usually all be found in. But since my classmates Joanna and Shiela are writers for the USC's Publication "Consejo"... they were talking (the chikahan-style, heheh) to their Editor inside the nicely air conditioned office so they invited Eric, Ate Angge, and Teenah to join us.

Up to now I still smile when I look at Shiela's reactions when newly elected USC President (Kuya) Rommel walks into the office. It's like we don't know if she's going to melt like butter onto the chair and onto the floor when he enters the premises. Heheh. It's all good. We're all filled with laughs all the time.
