Grammar 101
Business and Communications Class. Saturdays. 0830 - 1130. DLSU Taft.
I love grammar class. But this schedule is just killing me. I am just not a morning person. So what could be more worse than getting up early on a saturday morning for 3 months? So I skipped the first saturday class and I missed all the fun of introducing myself to the class.
And so I thought.
When I got to class, the professor asked the late comers or those who were absent during the last meeting to stand up and introduce themselves to the class by stating their name, undergrad course, school graduated from, present company, job position, reason for being absent during the first day and motto.
Since I can't think and I refuse to think of an excuse why I was absent, here's what I said...
"Good morning everyone! I see a lot of familiar faces. I am Angela Isaac but you can call me Maan for short. "
Then I stated my undergrad course and school as well as where I work and my job position.
"So why was I absent last week?"
And my mind went blank. Where was I last saturday? I can't remember. Or I just refuse to remember? Selected Amnesia perhaps?
So I just said, "I have no excuse nor valid reason for being absent. I was stressed with work and I had to deal with some personal issues. I promise that I will redeem myself today."
So I and Trexyl (who was also absent) tried our best to redeem ourselves. To prove to our professor and the whole class that we're not bad students. That we give our 100%. But sometimes our best is just not good enough...

I miss Marianne. I miss her more during class. I miss eating with her during our 15-minute breaks which we extend to 30 minutes. I miss telling her, "Gutom na gutom ako! Kain tayo." and writing silly stuff on her notebook like, "Hi Marianne. Kain tayo!" or asking her where we would eat and what we would order. Hay.
Buti nalang nandyan si Trexyl. Trex, you are my saviour. Without you, mapapanis ang laway ko sa Busscom. Wish we were also classmates in my Finacc class.

Trex: Maan, stop na.
Maan: You're right. Stop na.
Trex: Let's stop na.
Maan: I know.
