The last lecture day before our final exams weeks was on a Saturday. We usually only have one morning class on Saturdays, but that day we were in school till late afternoon for a make-up class. We had packed tosilog meals in the morning and pizza in the afternoon to mark the end of our first year lectures.

By the way, I just noticed–doodles on the board are not by our professors, nor by us law students. They are probably drawn by Pharmacy students who use the classrooms during weekday mornings.

That afternoon, I received a text message from one of my classmates, “Menu for tonight: sweet and sour pork, rellenong bangus, fish and tofu, steamed fish and pancit canton.” Wow, a fiesta? Usually for our last lecture days with our professors, we just order pizza. That night, it was different. (We chip in for the class fund, by the way).
