Irregulars are common usually on block sections that are mostly frosh-composed but that's from my point of view. I'm not really sure If it's common on upperclass sections too. Cmoe to think of it, every term, students get to choose their skedsadn ended up being in different sections so it's really kind of mixed up.
For now, let's focus on frosh sections. Usually the reason why an irregular (sorry if it sounds very discriminating, I don't know what I can call on non regular blockmates) is in a section that not his is because of he following: 1) It's either he's an athlete, 2) he failed a prerequisite subject, 3) he need to make up for remaining units to graduate and, 4) he's just simply there.
Last term, we had four irregulars in DV1. Two were taking Filip11, one of them also have Philippine History. Both of the we see thrice a week. Both are athletes, one is a basketball playertaking HRIM, the other a swimmer taking MMA. Another one is a CDA major, almost a graduate. She took up Gepsych. Last is a swimmer taking Bibstud, and for sure she's from DV7 meaning she's also MMA.
Actually the reason for student athletes to do this kind of set up is for them to become readily available for training. Their schedules are fixed according on when they train that's why they are so. An incentive which is a good advantage for student athletes is that they don't have to attend regular PE classes (excellent 100%).
On the case of upperclass peeps taking up subjects from lower years, I can't really tell.
They're Rose, Isaiah, Micaela, and Charlotte.
Now for this term, we already have two irregulars in two separate subjects.
One is an Export Management with ID105 (A college junior I presume). He takes Intecom with us thrice a week and since our professor there is the same guy from last term's Gepsych, I can say that he sort of reminds me of Charlotte since both of them are older than us. Yeah, his name is Von.
Another is a CDA frosh who just came in yesterday for ComSki (Sep. 21 and I don't care howyou wanna read it, I prefer saying it as "ComSki"okay? Not "comsk-one-dash-ex"). Well, can't really say but he's going to be with us for the term for Comski and I'm sure he'll fit in this wacky section that no other, DV1. I think his name is PJ, if I stand corrected please correct me now. Other than that, maybe he's a student athlete or something but being CDA, I guess he's an EFL (English as a First Language).
Back in last term, we didn't know that Isaiah and Micaela weren't our regular blockmates, especially that the latter is HRIM. So now we know about this "irregular" thingamajig, it'd be no longer a problem for us not to be surpirsed on such a stiuation like that.
It's already the start of the term and the whole of DV1 expected that the next three months will be the three months of DV1. So before we reached the DV1's last day, I guess we should do our best and we're all in this together.

technically, there would be no more blocks come your third term... since you'd be able to pick your class schedules already... DV1 would be "de-blocked"... but no worries... you can still try to be a block by choosing all the same schedule...
ReplyDeleteit's college... you're supposed to meet a lot of different people offering their different perspectives in life... what i'm saying is that it's really pretty common to meet or be classmates with an "irregular"...
