hit and run

it's awkward when you meet your new hired colleague and turns out that he was your college instructor. what's more awkward?! he didn't even remember me. haha! i was wondering, how bad of a student i was then? anyway, i shouldn't be suprise, i'm a "hit and run" student during college. i bet i didn't even utter a single word in his class. that's how forgettable i was. i never talk, which is unbelievable, but really, that's my technique to not draw attention from the teachers. i detest the craft that i was in and i was not good at it. so, i set my mind to not like it. i digress.

now, i do not know how to approach him. or should i go like "hi sir, it's me, i was once your student! remember?!... the one always with the blank face?".

then later on, he was greeted by my two colleagues who had been once his students, too. one was younger than me and the other one is older than me. and of course, HE REMEMBERS THEM VERY WELL! should i feel bad about it? wew! i'm trying to wrap my mind around it and i couldn't see any loophole seeing as the time graph said that my studies took place in between theirs, or i should have reasoned out the time difference of our schooling for his memory gap.

i am a little frightened of what his answer may, but i still feel the need to ask - "you remember them? why didn't you remember me?" then comes his CLASSIC reply, "(in cebuano) they are very talkative and very good students?". i skip a heartbeat or two. even my 3 year old niece could understand what he implies. i could take the opposite of talkative, but the latter? i choose to stay it as is and did not dig further. but of course i dig further and it hurts the ego!

i just save him from further uneasiness by joking about it. anyway, that was fun and funny. it's good seeing long lost aquintance in work. and he seemed very nice. though, i can't remember what subject i was with him coz all programming subjects looks the same to me. and i rate them equally: they sucks.

did i mention it?, i detest my course!!

oh common! have some slack. i was dwarfed by my dost scholar classmates at that time. and they love what they're doing. me? hit and run!

ps: you may ask, "why did you take up this course and mock about it?". that, my friend, is another chapter of the story.
