ABSENCE LEVEL: KATHLEEN MERCADO
In college, I have had this reputation of being late. But this year, I find it not degrading but amusing. It started from the beginning of 2nd sem when somehow, our prof and I were in sync. I’m late, he’s late. I miss class, he doesn’t show up. He shows up 13 minutes late, I show up 15- just when he checks attendance. I think this chain was only broken ONCE. My blockmates started to think my prof and I communicate and plan it. This day was perhaps the worst yet the best I will ever be in. And I hope, finally my chance to change.
I had a very bad morning. I didn’t show up in 3 classes. 2 of them entailed a LOT- a major and one with prelims. I arrived at noon and spent 30 mins alone in the chapel praying I could make up for what I’ve lost. Everything turned around when I knew none of our teachers in those two showed up. God is very kind to me ever since. I know now what I really have to do.
JUST TO BE CLEAR: I AM NOT PROUD. But I find so much meaning now more than ever. For my crappy Jan 12th morning to turn around, it must take a miracle. It amusingly did. Again, I’m not proud. Just saying. :)
Blockmate: *seriously taps my hand* “Kung mag-absent ka sunod, pagtext bya daan.”
Totally made my day. :))
