Well, so far, first two weeks of class on OPESYS1 under sir Pineda was okay. It was interesting to learn from his assigned group assignment the difference between multitasking, multiprogramming and multiprocessing.
I regret a bit not listening attentively when he announced regarding the make-up class though. Lapse of judgment since I thought I already knew the time since I checked it two nights before and since there was still my next class to go to. That's why when my second class for the day was over and I thought I had a 2 hour break in between the class and the make-up class I took my sweet time eating my lunch and relaxing.
I began to become uneasy around 30 minutes to 3:30 since at that time, I particularly remembered that the last time I checked, there was only the schedule and there wasn't a room written where the make-up class would take place and I didn't notice if the room was said when sir Pineda was talking about it. So with that dilemma, I started to try to access facebook in the school computers to check the group knowing that the school most probably has blocked it but still hoping it would go through by a fluke or something since I particularly remember one time facebook actually loaded when I tried on one of the school's computers. I tried that until a few minutes before the "class" was happening and I decided it would be a waste of time trying to load facebook if it's blocked and since i'm already out of time, it would be better to just try to find where the class is by trying to check if I can either find my classmates or sir Pineda in a room. I tried that for around 30 minutes going through each floor up to the 8th floor at least once by walking around and looking at the windows. I actually saw some of my classmates but it turns out that they were in another class and I remembered that when we were scheduling the advanced classes they most likely had classes during that time so I didn't bother thinking something was wrong and just went out and closed the door when I saw that the prof they had was different.
It being around 4 o' clock already and still having no luck, I decided to try my luck one last time and try to find a way to access fb in school so I can find the room assignment. That being the case, I already knew that school computers would be blocked and so I went back to use the computers to see if I could find an alternate way to access fb that would work. I found one that had like 9 ways to access fb with a different method but all of those failed so I stopped a moment to think. It was already around 4:10 to 4:20 by that time and I thought, since the school computers can't access fb, It popped in my head like a flash of inspiration, I should try my devices to access fb through wi-fi. So I went to the library to connect my devices to the wi-fi to check the groups and I finally managed to find the room assignment for the make-up class. I went there to check it quick and found that it wasn't the class and didn't think about it anymore and went to our family business in makati. While I was there, I had a thought and checked logged in my facebook and checked the post again and took a decent look at the post. It turns out, that I mistook 13:30 as 3:30 and 15:30 as 5:30 since I already had in my mind that our advanced classes are going to take place on tuesdays at that time. In my defense though, the post being in facebook and all, I don't and didn't expect people to post or chat to me there using army time and it's been a long while since I used army time since even though in benilde the classes schedules and in the enrollment form it's written in army time, when I'm talking to people or with my friends we don't use it and refer to it normally. Also, I thought of this because of this incident, in school it seems it's high priority to have a laptop or a tablet if you want to get access to fb or it would be nice if professors who have fb groups use the moodle like as a backup or something. probably post announcements or stuff in a notepad or document file and for schedules like make-up classes and advanced classes and stuff like those, use the moodle calendar. I'm not sure how to use that but I think it would be more convenient to access in school since accessing the moodle in school is a lot easier than the other alternatives. Next time though, just like my post title says, I need to remember that for important stuff like make-up classes and advanced classes and time related stuff, I need to check it more than once and make sure that the info that I have is right.
