The Dirty Saint

27.

Second semester was the worse semester of my entire stay in the university, it was the semester that I failed woefully in all major courses and one of lecturers sucking the life out of me. It was in this semester that I decided to change my course

I thought I had seen it all, known it all with my experience and strategy I can always pull through it. But that was a big joke

Classes were twice as jampacked as before, we had started making use of the laboratory and we were divided into groups. I was in group seven and unfortunately for me my group turned out to be filled with the most unserious, reluctant lazy students in my department

Everytime I complained to Eric, he would tell me to stop exaggerating and do my part but stubborn me of course choose to give them back the same energy they were giving me and guess what we all failed

I had really made up to work harder and improve my GPA but the forces on campus just wouldn't let me. Forces in person like Prof Longe

It was one afternoon after his class, I was a few minutes late to his class so he didn't allow us write our name in the attendance, so a few of us ran after him to plead with him when the lecture was over

When we got to his office, he ignored us while we pleaded and then he dismissed us but he had already spot me in the back

"Girl in black, Wait behind "

I wasn't the only one wearing black so he said
"You " looking directly at me
"The rest of you. Get out Now"

I wasn't sure why he asked me to stay but i thought it was reprimand my dressing

I was wearing a black lacy pin down shirt, a black leggings and black tube and my hair was packed in a ponytail. Haven't had time to make my hair

"What is your name "

"Berachah Okolo sir"

"Have not seen your face before. Have you been attending my class"

"Yes sir"

"Hmm hmm, Don't just stand there. Take a seat"
This is going to take awhile I guess

"So... Why, why did you come late"

"I... Am sorry sir"

"I like you. And I want to be seeing more of you. Will you come by office often "
To do what, is not like am the class governor or something

"I'll try sir"

"Don't try o Ehh Berachah. Like it or not you are still going to meet me in your 200 And 300level I might even be your project supervisor. So if I were you. I'll more than try " I nodded
"Write your matric no and phone number here. And make sure I see you tomorrow "

And that was how I fell prey for the professor

My last exam was a waking call. I missed alot of questions because I didn't prepare enough and even when I thought I did, there is still something missing

I didn't want that to happen this year so I am putting all my efforts this time to get it right. My dad will bolt if I tell her about my GP

So I have cut down on alot of things, partying, clubbing, hanging out, church services and the likes. It was hard but I have always been a straight A student. Always passed my exams without stressing too hard

But i guess it not the same here. I barely understand any of my courses and the borrowed courses are even more terrible. I can't comprehend a single thing

However am determined to face it head on, but the obstacle in my way just wouldn't let me

I was at the park on Saturday with my boyfriend he organize a picnic for us. We haven't really had time to chill since am always busy. So we decided to spend the whole Saturday together
