“…Few weeks later, we were writing exams. I didn’t know what I wrote in Psy 141.
Or should I say that I just wasn’t sure of what I wrote, despite all the cramming.
Then Kendo, one of the non-academic Students was talking about sorting.
You know those students that usually don’t have any business to do with Academics?
Like they are at the parties, picnics, students week, sug Elections, class meetings, etc but are never there for lectures?
Kendo was one of them. He was saying something about sorting out the course as the class Rep had told him how it’s done.
I was ashamed to be the one to ask Kendo for help. After forming intelligent and telling them I will only be in that department with them for just one year. Otilo
But the thought of failing that course which means I had to resit, which means I can’t redeploy to Law which means I would be stuck to Combined Social Sciences, which means my future is ruined all flashed at my face in one swoop.
I had to, as a matter of necessity, swallow my pride or my pride will swallow me.
I met Kendo, and Kendo after laughing at me for a while, led me to the class Rep who then took me to the secret zone where sorting is discussed.
It turned out that there was actually nothing secret about the secret zone as almost the whole class wanted to sort, including my girlfriend Amaka.
Oh! Sorry, I didn’t tell you how it all went down with Amaka the previous time.
I will still elaborate in details, but you see, that day, I went to Amaka’s room to try and explain things to her, and in the process, she stole my innocence, but I let her keep both me and the innocence with her.
I will explain how things went with Damzy letter in future episodes.
Meanwhile, I was angry with Amaka for not telling me about the sorting stuff, but in her defense, she said she didn’t know I would agree to that kind of thing.
True to the fact, I wouldn’t have agreed to it if it wasn’t my future at stake.
We sorted it out with our last card. So the rest of the exam period was a time of famine for us.
We were cashless, foodless and even timeless. Everything was just less including our flesh.
That was our real orientation into the campus life, because at that point, we stopped being freshers as there was nothing fresh about our dry skin, dry pockets, dry pots, dry cupboards and dry throats.
Little did we know that we have sacrificed for nothing as the class Rep ate our sorting money 🙆🏾♂️
What did I later get in Psy 141 and what happened to my ambition of redeploying to Law faculty?
We will find out in the next episode.
