Episode 16
When we got to the class, what Abdul told us turned out to be true. We got to the class 7:55am, and the whole âlecture
theatreâ was filled to the brim. Some people sat on the floor,
while others were standing, holding their notes.
The lecturer was not around yet, so the place was so rowdy.
People were walking up and down, looking for empty, unnoticed seats. Mayowa and I joined in the quest.
This quest was for people who didnât want to sit on the floor, or stand all through.
As we were going to the front, looking
around, someone was waving at me, it was my FDF (Moji).
I went to her, and she offered me a seat, right in the third row. I managed to âenterâ, managing the space with mayowa
âYou kept the sit for me?â I asked her. âNo, not exactly, I kept
it for my roommate, who later decided to sit at the back with her friends, she said she doesnât like sitting in front. When I
just saw you, I decided to give my FDF the seat.â She answered.
âThat was thoughtful of you.â
I said. âYeah right!â
She answered.
The lecturer came around 8:05am, and when he entered, everywhere became as a grave yard. You could literarily
hear the sound of a falling pin.
The man started by welcoming us to the university system, as he laughed at
those sitting down on the floor. He told us he is also a graduate of OAU, and during his time it wasnât that bad.
He welcomed us to the course âCHM101â, he was successful
in planting the seeds of fear in our hearts after telling us the high percentage of people that do fail the course, and cases
of people who had extra sessions just because of this course. He discovered that he had only succeeded in causing
panic, he told us that itâs not that difficult, all we had to do was to study well, and everything was going to be fine. Now,
everyone became a bit relieved, then he started taking the
course.
Since it was the first class, he just gave us the course outline and recommended some texts. He talked about âreadingsâ
and âerrorsâ, and before we knew it, it was 9:00am already,
and we had to end the lecture, as some students of âarts and humanitiesâ were already waiting outside to use the same
venue for their lecture.
The lecturer ended the class, and everywhere was conjested,
about 1500 people were trying to exit the hall, while about 750 were trying to come in. âYou didnât even call me at all,
after I fixed your phone.â Moji said to me as we were slowly moving to the exit. âWhy didnât you call me too?â I shifted the blame briskly, I had forgotten that I didnât give her my number. âYou didnât give me your number, it was your
phone I fixed, you didnât get to fix mineâ. She said to me.
Now it occurred to me that I didnât give her my number.
âOya ma binu, I totally forgot.â . . This time, we had gotten to the exit.
We continued the conversation, as we were going to the hostel.
Mayowa wasnât angry with the whole thing in anyway. in fact, he was joining in the conversation the little
way he could. . .
