Consuelo de Bobo*

While I am now enjoying my semester break, I still can't help but rant about a certain irresponsible teacher, who, for the sake of living up to his irresponsibility, just had to be irresponsible until the day of the final exam. I am not being redundant. I am trying to emphasize a word here, thank you.

The exam was supposed to begin at figgin' 7:30 in the morning. Forgive me, I used to be a call center agent and I hate the daylight. Apparently, the rest of the class aren't morning people, too - that or they are vampires - and everyone appealed and the exam was moved to 8 am. Cool.

But it wasn't cool anymore when it was already 8:30 in the morning and all of us were lined outside our still-locked examination room, wondering where our mentor is. A few minutes later, a text arrived from our mentor, saying that the list of exempted students will be posted at 9:00 in the department.

Good thing everyone was laughing at the not-so-funny matter.

"9:00?! Nako walang date baka bukas pa yan." (9:00?! There's no date, it might be tomorrow!)

"Bakit kelangang 9:00 pa? Bakit hindi nalang 10:00?" (Why does it have to be 9:00? Why can't it be 10:00?)

And then the classmate who was contacted by our mentor asked us, "Anong isasagot ko?" (What should I reply?)

"Wer u. D2 n kmi." (Where are you? We're here.)



The sarcasm, you can feel it from eleventyone million light years away.

*sigh* Anyway it's already done. After waiting for an hour and a half for him, the exemption list was posted and my student number was there. The wait wasn't worth it. It just wasn't.

*Ang galing mo talaga Sir Ponsaran. Sa mga simpleng hirit mo, palaging akong namamangha.
