Last Wednesday was just like any other day in DLSU, except for the fact that a Team A varsity basketball player went to an actual class. To be more specific, an English Two Class (Research Paper Writing) held during Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at 1430-1530 at room M310. The player, who shall remain anonymous, is a starter for the DLSU Green Archers basketball team, and has a penchant for knee-high socks and kneeling down to be slapped.
Students who were taking the same course (in other schools, this is called a ‘subject’) had no idea that he was part of the class, since they have not seen him in that classroom since the first week of school, which was about several weeks ago. Catherine Kitte, a sophomore AB-PSYC student says that this was the first time she, or anyone else in her class, has seen him attend the course. ‘Is he really enrolled here?’ she asked.
The answer is yes you idiot, of course.
Polly Aria, who is enrolled in the same course, went to class that day and saw something most students hear about from time to time but rarely, if ever see: a team A basketball player actually attending class. ‘We were all talking and writing, when suddenly, this tall guy walks in and sits in the corner. He didn’t do anything; he just sat and stared blankly at the upper right-hand corner of the blackboard. This was around 2:55 PM . By 3:26 PM , he was out the door and gone. He didn’t say a word. Pinch me,’ she said to no one in particular, still shaking.
Mrs. Luisa Golgol, the professor of the said course, was surprised as well. ‘Naturally, he was on the list, but I never saw him, so I just assumed that he was training.’ Mr. Frankie Triestra, the director of Sports for the University was pleased when he heard of this. ‘This speaks volumes of how the DLSU athlete does more than what he is told to do.’ An abnormally large, solitary tear slid down his cheek. ‘Those basketball players…they work so hard!’
The basketball player, when cornered into an interview, said that he had no specific reason for attending the class. ‘Eh kasi, sabi ni Coats (who is Franz Pumaren), pokus lang ng pokus. Kaya `yun. Nag-pokus ako.’
After the memorable first trip to class, the basketball player never did go back to his English Two class, not even during course card distribution day. He got a 2.5 for his effort.
