I open my eyes to the brightness of the rays of the sun hitting me through the open window at the right side of the full classroom. Boys and girls sitting tight listening attentively to Dr James. “And that would be the end of the lecture, see you next class” the Acc lecturer says as he closes his lecture note before walking out of the class. “Already?” I ask myself wiping the drool from my mouth before checking my watch. It was 9:02am. I had slept throughout the one hour lecture from 8am to 9am. Amazing right? Yes I just got to class and five minutes after the lecturer started talking I dozed off. He was just too boring for my liking. He never cited examples, his explanations were written down and he read them word for word. If I needed to hear someone’s voice I would have seen a movie not come to class. I wanted to learn and he was making it really hard for me. It was not just worth my while. I stand up to get in line of the students trooping out of the class but some guy stepped on my new shoe. I don't know if I am to scream or slap the breath out of his nostrils. I just sit back and sulk for about 5mins cursing under my breath letting everyone leave before I stand up to leave. I decide to go to the gents to go freshen up before going for my next class. I get into the gents and shut the creaking door behind me. The smell of antiseptic hit me and I wince. Not that I hate antiseptics, it just reminds me of hospitals. “Eewww”, I hate hospitals. Walking up to the sink I drop my folder comfortably in the space between the wall and the sink’s tap knob. And then I see a copy of myself in the mirror. Hmmmm. I take a few seconds to study my boyish-manly features. I'm just standing there. And then I smile. I stop. And then I smile again. I take out my comb from the rear pocket of my trousers and start combing my hair. Seven strokes and I get the hair in place. And then I smile at myself again, this time a full teethed smile. i stick my right forefinger into my right nosetrill and then i remove it. i do the same with my left forefinger and then remove it too. I puff my shoulders and put out my chest like Clark does in smallville. I am superman. I flex my muscles and do the fisted flying move. I check my teeth to see if there are traces of the cornflakes
I had had that morning on my teeth but there was none. Then I pull my trousers to my tummy trying to imitate my 400lbs professor of mathematics Prof Tunji. I laugh at myself at the thought. I am really having fun entertaining myself. I bring out lip balm and put so much on my lips and pout my lips like a girl and drawing close to the mirror to kiss myself before I hear the creaking sound of the door. Someone had just walked in. I sharply wipe the lip balm off my mouth fix myself up in 5secs, pick up my folder and walk out. Now am I being STUPID in front of the mirror or am I having fun. You pick, but before you judge me just know that you have done the same before………chao.
