Examination Convos

Awhile ago, Jona, Nessa, Kath, Angie and I were talking about dreams.

And whenever a group of people talk about dreams, they usually ask about the kind of dream that made you jerk or wakes you up because you felt like falling. Why do we jerk and wake up when something like that happens? I know everyone has this kind of dream.

Now, I may have found the answer to everyone's question. I searched the internet... and here's what I found:

There is actually a term to describe what you are experiencing in your dream. It is called myclonic jerks. Many who dream that they are falling sometimes jerk or twitch their legs/arms and end up waking themselves up. There is no concrete reason as to why this happens.

One theory is that it is our instinctive response for what the brain perceives as
a potentially dangerous situation. Sometimes dreams are so real that the brain believes that you are really falling or in some sort of danger. And hence the brain sends signals to the body to start "fleeing".

According to biblical interpretations, dreams about falling have a negative overtone and suggest that man is acting and walking according to his own way of thinking and not those of the Lord.

Our school uses "proctoring" during examinations. One or two proctors are present.

More RANDOM ICST convos: EXAMINATION DAYS PART TWO

Maam Liezyl: Anyone caught cheating, automatically 5. Please take a look at them Maam Yvonne.

During examination.

Giovanne: Wala mani choice oi, kung mangopya ko singko ko. Kung dili ko mag answer singko lang gihapon ko. (*This leaves me with no choice. If I am caught cheating, I'd get 5, if I don't answer I'd get 5 too. *)
Maam Yvonne: Dawata na lang sa maayong kabubut-un (*Then accept the facts with all your heart*)
Giovanne: Pero, at least kung mangopya ko.... I've tried my best. (*But, at least if I copy.... I've tried my best*)

*CLASS LAUGHS*

Giovanne: Maam, ang ingon lang ni Maam Liezyl kay, ang mangopya. Unya kung isturya na lang namo ang answer? (*Maam, What Maam Liezyl told us, is that "if we copy". What if we just dictate our answers then?*)

Giovanne was really funny awhile ago. He'd sing while checking the answers out. And then when Maam Yvonne would catch him... he would stop and pretend he is dancing. And he would actually make the moves like an ethnic dancer and say....

"See... I'm promoting our culture...."

But at the same time... he would crane his neck along with his.. hands moving in an ethnic-kind-of-way.

I wish I could video him. I cannot take my cellphone out. *GAH*

Giovanne: Wala ma'y pulos ang kodigs nako ani oi! (*My kodigs was of no use at all!*)

Gleamore rarely goes to our class, and it is unusual to find him soo silent and answering his test paper.

Jona: Ok ni si Gleamore ah! Murag nikaon diod siya ug kalabasa. (*Wow. Gleamore is doing good, I think he ate some squash.*)

Maam Yvonne: Nangopya nasad ka ba! (*You are cheating again!*)
Giovanne: Excuse me, wala ka'y proeba na nangopya ko. (*Excuse me, You don't have a proof that I copied.*)

Giovanne: Pag mapul-an ko i-pass na man diod nako ni ba. Kapoi kaayo ba mu-timing kung kanus-a mugawas si maam or dili mutanaw, kapoy maghulat ug answer. (*If I would be fed up, I'd pass this. It's so tiring to wait for Maam to go out or not watching, and it's tiring to wait for the answers to arrive.*)
Renel: Gawas sad panagsa Maam, one minute lang. (*Maam, try going even for a minute*)
Giovanne: One minute to copy it all. That is, kung makabalik pa ka. (*One minute to copy it all. That is, if you can go back*)
Maam Yvonne: Kay lockan ko ninyo? (*Coz you would lock me up then?*)

Maam Yvonne: Kung wala na moy answer, pwede namo mugawas. (*If you dont have any answer, you can go out.*)
Giovanne: That's life.... you must try...even if it means getting 5. Maam did you not copy your way to college?
Maam Yvonne: Nope.
Giovanne: Then your life was boring.

Giovanne passed his papers already.

Maam Yvonne: Batchoy and Karlo!!
Giovanne: Karlo akala ko mabait ka, yun pala magkadugo lang tayo.

Avy is a silent cheater! Bwahaha. Or I have not heard her talking about it. But I saw her awhile ago approaching the front wanting to get the "confiscated" photocopy of our exam when our teacher was not looking at all. But she backed out... *laughing mischievously* saying she got scared she might get caught and get 5.

The thing is... we did not get to study our Software Engineering exam. So it was a hopeless case.
That's why everyone keeps talking the whole time. :)
