I hype myself up for my Asian parent-mandated medical-related course by making art for it apparently Fun fact the test tube they’re holding contains culture medium known as a butt-slant (the butt part being the lower flat portion). You stick the inoculating loop with the sample in the butt and you drag it out in a zig-zag pattern over the slant as you pull it out. The more you know (I know you should wear a mask in a bacteriology lab. Shhhh)

Okay, I'm really curious, so I apologize for choosing so many questions out of the list. So, I choose strawberry, peanut butter, dulce de leche, cinnamon, and red velvet!
  You don’t have to apologize at all! I love getting asks and just messages in general!
~~~~~
Strawberry- A language you wish you could speak?
   Korean! It’s not only because I’m a MM fan and a K-pop fan, but because I’ve always found the Korean culture to be very interesting, as well as the language. I’m a huge nerd when it comes to world cultures, and because of Spanish being my first language, I can understand other Romantic languages when it comes to reading them (French, Italian, Portuguese, etc.), so I’ve always been interested in learning languages not similar to my own, like Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean.
Peanut Butter- Favorite academic subject.
   When it comes to core classes (English, Math, Science, and History), my favorite would have to be science. I’ve always been a science nerd, having found an interest in rocks, minerals, and fossils when I was a kid, and then an interest in microbiology/bacteriology once I was older. I’ve actually competed in science fairs before, and I managed to win first place in my category in a national-level science fair in Puerto Rico.
    In classes in general, it would have to be art, because art has always been my passion and main interest.
Dulce de leche- An instrument you wish you could play.
   I would honestly really love to play the violin, because I find it to be a very beautiful and serene instrument. I’m a jealous lil shit because a lot of my friends can actually play the violin, and I can’t.
   Also, I’d like to expand my knowledge on the piano, because I only know how to play by ear, and I have to fucking clue how to read sheet music. Sadly, I don’t have enough time to take classes, even if they’re online sooo….
Cinammon- Have you ever been confessed to?
   Nooope. As far as I know, only one person has ever had a crush on me, and it was waaaaaaay back when I was in third to fourth grade. No one has ever confessed to me, nor asked me out.
   I’m too ugh and uninteresting, both appearance-wise and personality-wise, to be asked out (:
Red velvet- Do you wear prescription glasses?
   Yes, I do! They’re a very small prescription, which I don’t even know because I’ve only had them for like two years and a half.
   I can see pretty well, and I’m only slightly far-sighted, to the point of being able to distinguish letters in signs and stuff, and only not being able to read them when they’re really far away, really small, or like light letters on a light background.

crash course: ust-fop-mt MAJOR courses & profs that i’ve had so far
1st year - 1st sem:
general chemistry (aka chem100, genchem)
topics: importance of chemistry, matter, laboratory apparatus, laboratory protective wear&conduct, significant figures, atomic structure, electronic configuration, separation techniques, periodic table, compounds, cations and anions, chemical formula writing, lewis structure & molecular geometry, chemical bonds, intermolecular forces, mole, kinetic molecular theory, gas laws, basic types of chemical reaction, stoichiometry, concentration units, titration (basic), types of aqueous solution, electrochemistry, calorimetry.
      chem100 lecture (aka chem100lec, lec, chemlec - in general)
      ma’am suratos: age is ((she’s old na)) ok. she’s a very nice and may mom vibes. has favoritism, pero she gives fair grades - kaya work hard. yes, she fails students BUT that’s her last option - if wala talaga then wala. she absolutely HATES cheating. ayaw niya sa claretiano, pero though my class has the most claretians sa block, she rlly likes us. fast-paced magturo pero if you listen magegets mo naman. she always sets a first impression, so ‘pag negative na yung dating mo sa kanya, prove her wrong and she’ll like you so. her quizzes are easy, exams... saks lang, basta you studied.
doesn’t use powerpoint.
     chem100 laboratory (aka chem100lab, chemlab, lab)
     sir paulin: mid 40s na ata si sir. he was the partner of ma’am suratos sa lab namin so we had like two profs there. his lessons are straight to the point, and since tandem sila ni ma’am saamin - his discussion became somehow easy kasi ma’am will discuss it instead pero i heard na it’s hard to understand what he teaches so... gdluck. my first impression of him: masungit. he hated us on the first day kasi no one was listening to him, so like pinahirapan niya kami on the first few weeks pero naglaho rin yung hatred kasi may favorite siya sa class namin HAHA. he’s nice really on the inside, he doesn’t frequently fail his students. his quizzes are hard if you didn’t study, and honestly mas nahirapan ako sa chemlab rather than chemlec (and mas mababa rin ako sa lab). he kinda has a lisp, when using the letter “s” ahem like me.
-btw, ang hirap makinig ng lesson kapag nasa **central lab kayo, just saying.
             **central lab (central laboratory), located near dapitan side. if ‘di pa obvious, this is a laboratory building.
sometimes uses powerpoint.
introduction to medical technology (aka mt1a)
topics: 
     ma’am ruby: she’s a graduated from ust-medtech also, topped at rank 19 on the mt boards last 2005 ata??? she bases her lessons and powerpoints on the book that she co-wrote: “introduction to medical technology practice in the ph setting.” it’s a small book lang and can be bought in dapitan c&e, it’s not required pero since it’s a major and is my program, i bought it. quizzes and exams are all based on her powerpoint = book, it’s always memorization yung tipong super super overload. we would often have cancelled quizzes/meetings kasi she’s a busy person, legit. she stutters a lot pero it’s very obvious na she knows what she’s saying - and i really admire her for that! kung may mas malala pang may ayaw sa cheaters kay ma’am suratos, well ma’am ruby is here to prove to you na meron pa nga!
always uses powerpoint.
1st year - 2nd sem:
analytical chemistry (aka chem301, anachem - in general)
topics: concentration units, precipitations, solutions, raoult’s law, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, rate law, integrated rate law.
     analytical chemistry lecture (aka chem301lec, anachemlec)
     sir madarang/sir cj: i feel the smart vibes from him. he graduated in ust-biochem. he teaches briefly, fastly, and straight to the point and gets mo agad yung lesson. he teaches simply lang, and uses analogy to make the understand of a concept easier. he easily gets annoyed, and sobrang visible nun like ‘di niya ihihide. he remembers the name of the people who recites (which is a good thing guys, usually may plus points if they know you). he gives his powerpoint thru **eleap/blackboard and it’ll be convenient if you’ll print/save it na for reference while the lesson is on going. he does the reciting thing while you stand on your place/you answer sa board. quizzes niya are all application ng mga formula na tinuturo niya, usually 1/2 crosswise lang haha. he gives partial points, something ma’am suratos/sir paulin will never do. requires calculator.
          **eleap/blackboard academic website for announcements, quizzes, take home hw/sw/quizzes, dump ng powerpoint ng profs na generous.
always uses powerpoint.
     analytical chemistry laboratory (aka chem301lab, anachemlab)
    sir paulin and ma’am suratos: they’re both more lenient to us now, idk why. all we’ve done so far are activities: making a solution, precipitating, centrifuging it, aspirating it, while following the schematic diagram. oh, kayo rin pala gagawa ng schematic diagram niyo! yung quizzes so far memorization lang, wala pang practical.
** we had our ppt from sir paulin when we were having our finals na, but that’s it.
biological science (biosci)
topics: the four tissues (epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous), microscopy, cell.
    ma’am lee and ma’am ranido: so we got maam lee for lab and maam ranido for lec. maam lee doesn’t like a noisy class and my class is noisy af, so she doesn’t give us her handouts/ppts. maam ranido gives handouts/ppts pero they’re not from her, like it’s from someone else (probably another prof who’s teaching the same thing). new currciculum wouldnt have this subject, kaya don’t waste your time on this lmao. ma’am lee’s always absent, but she teaches well. pero lagi lang talga busy kaya ma’am ranido takes her spot nalang.
** uses powerpoint presentations!! giving them out will vary with how the class is (noisy, etc)
psy 1 (general psychology)
    maam agustin: she came from the college of science, so strict siya. she sits down lagi when teaching and most often than not resorts to showing videos than teaching the topics herself. if she doesn’t like your block, she’ll often have quizzes right after a lecture and it’ll be recorded. so wag niyo bad trip-in.
** uses ppts. but giving it out would vary also with how the class behaves.
2nd year - 1st sem:
     phyana (physiology and anatomy) lec
topics: cell, tissues, and organ systems
    ma’am ibarrientos: she teaches so good!! she likes to repeat the things she teaches like literally paulit-ulit to the point na sobrang nareretatin siya sa utak mo. she finds ways para tumaas grades ng students niya. she has a good voice, perfect for teaching but tends to lose it sometimes din kasi she teaches a lot of class. she has comprehensive ppts and she gives them out also. lahat ng tinuro niya lumalabas sa quiz niya but if hindi siya yung gumawa ng exam, try asking other blocks kung anong nadiscuss nila kasi she tends to miss out on stuffs na lalabas sa exam.
** uses ppts and gives them out. multiple choices type of quizzes with identification na 5-10 items and morse type na true or false!
     phyana (physiology and anatomy) lab
    sir flores and maam meim: solid tandem!! sir flores was a student if ma’am meim and ang cute nila magturo haha. sir flores is the kind of prof you wish you always have for you majors (although bacteriology daw talaga siya solid), he’s still solid though! there was a time he taught us the four common tissues without only the whiteboard marker on his hand, and no ppts. (did i mention he was a top notcher for the boards before? yup) tapos ang fun pa niya as a prof, nakikiride siya with his students haha. ma’am meim was my prof na before and still the same pa rin naman siya. they both love giving out quizzes na WHOLLY identification, so wag na umasa sa multiple choice, if it’s not identification: it’s most probably true or false questions, that’s it.
uses ppts and gives them out!
chem 200 (organic chemistry, orgchem)
topic: nomenclature, the 12 common organic compounds (ie alcohol, sulfides, esters, etc), mechanisms and reactivity, enantiomers
     chem 200 lec
    sir torres: he’s the prof you always see na parang true scientist! he’s hard to listen into kasi he’s old and kinda hirap na magsalita. but mostly, you’ll have to teach yourself with his subject kasi he teaches in a way na parang you already know the topic by your own. he doesn’t use ppt and messily writes in the board, kung saan lang abot niya while he’s sitting down. tell your sergeant of arms to get a microphone for him. his quizzes are the type of quizzes na YOU should have studied and know the topic by heart, or else gg ka.
no ppt.
     chem 200 lab
    ma’am diño and ma’am crisostomo: ma’am diño’s a bagets since medyo fresh grad pa siya ng biochem of ust! she’s super super nice and approachable and she understands the students the most. she hates cheating so much, kaya don’t even try. she notices every little detail like same erasures as your seatmate ganun. ma’am crisostomo was pregnant when she was teaching us and she literally hated us so much, kasi noisy talaga block ko. but she teaches well, as does ma’am diño, super gusto ko sila both. i learned to love orgchem because of them and i loved our lab work (except for the lab reports). quiz is usually identification kasi mga name ng organic compounds yung quiz, and all that.
sometimes uses ppts (especially for post labs), doesn’t give them out.
I’LL KEEP THIS UPDATED, this is by far the most updated.
