senior year

kids, today i have to give a presentation to final year students on literature review and their final year project. they all have in minds that this is going to be mundane, lame talk and full of yadda yadda. to them, attendance is compulsory, listening is just waiting for the lecturer to shut up her mouth. their attitude of college cool and i know enough what i will be doing during the semester will be the things that i will be facing throughout the semester. may God bless my soul.

i wish they realise that their cool is a little different than what i had in mind. and generation gap is actually, the best thing. just like friendster and instagram, nintendo and angry bird (i like flap bird too), or dial up internet to 4G wifi. it may be slower, but we watched FRIENDS not reruns, and giggled all day after watching the fresh prince of bel air. although i am old, alas marshall matters still matters. and still king.

many students cringe when i imposed strict only email policy for work and assignment. i have a life too. you can keep your watsapp to your cool friends and my watsapp is not for you to complain about anything or giving me excuses to be late to class. i.am.not.your.mother.

i too have feelings when it comes to students' email. sometimes i wish i could laugh and die happily looking at the email IDs with flattering, cuties and mind blowing memes. can you just write your name properly for an email, please?

bro, wearing flip flop doesnt make you any cool. you just mark yourself to flop in my class. statistically speaking, there is a reason why slippers is called flip flop.

when people say that nobody cares how you look at school, they lied. i have to read university's policy on dressing code to all students before my first lecture. you are doomed and now i've becoming Gandalf, thou shall not pass.

for today's class on literature review, there is a template that is ready to be downloaded. failure to comply with the formatting will result with i am not going to read your thesis. welcome to real world where my time is precious like diamond.

if this appear on iium confessions, or any confessional dashboard/websites/pintrest i will find you, the way liam neeson did.
