to sir geejay
Summer or my second year in LB–I found myself sitting on the couch of the socsci department, nervously fidgeting while waiting for my turn to be grilled by the panel of interviewers that would weigh my worth and decide whether I am eligible to shift to their prestigious department. Much to my surprise, Sir Lastimoza was there. He was reading the day’s paper while ranting about how stupid politics is in the Philippines and how senseless the news is.
I’d like to believe he sat there to cheer us up or take our mind off that damn interview, or not. I’m guessing not, the hell with us. Hehe. He was probably just talking to himself. But while he was there sitting with us (the would-be shiftees) I felt a little relieved, a little relaxed. He got me to thinking that this was just an interview; there are loads of things to be nervous about, like derelict government systems and the horrible economic crisis, but not this one.
So there, that’s some of the nothings that I remember once in a while. He’d probably forgotten that day but if it hadn’t been for him I wouldn’t be able to get through that interview in one piece. =)
