Let it go....
A few days ago, while in my processing class learning how to make canned sardines, my Professor claimed to be able to judge people by the first look. ("That's how long I've been in this industry", he says)
"May, you are determined and strong. And you," he pointed to a friend of May, "are a very naughty girl." (Don't get me wrong, what he really meant is 'mischevious'). When she objected, Professor listens to her tone of voice (which sounded kinda young-ish to me) and said "I'm right, am I?"
"And you," he pointed at me, "Like to wait for orders."
Hmmmm...that made me wondering until the next few days. Am I a conformist? Or just lazy? Or both? Do I really look like that when all I am, is just a quiet, no-confrontation kind of girl?
Maybe I am, you say?
Then I remembered my school life. Yes, I had straight As, but I was never the 'follow orders' type. Instead, I was more of a non-conformist--getting late to class, dressing as bad as I want to, keeping nails a tad too long, not wearing name tags in school assembly, not finishing my homework in time...(that explains why my report card was never 'clean' every year).
As a matter of fact, I gotta confess: I'm skipping my Analytical Chemistry class right now. Why? Hah...
Well, today, I got up late, (as usual), not knowing that I have to ride with my sister together to school because my car's going to the workshop (again). The problem is: I woke up at 7. She GOES to school at 7. Really, that early! So, I decided not to fuss myself up with all the unnecessary stress; I know my dad like to force me to 'act fast' by starting the engine while I'm dressing, so that I could 'speed up'. (I think he got this idea from an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, because he only did that days AFTER the episode was aired). What happened? Every time he speeds up, I'm even slower. I know it;s bad, but if I speed up, I get really stressed and confused, and consequently more clumsy, which can lead me to a split milk, upside down shirt, or leaving the iron on.
Then after sending my sis, dad said he wanted some breakfast. I looked at my watch and said OK, 20 minutes before class. But while I ate, I kept thinking that I might be late after all, and I don't want to, especially when my Chem Professor looks and talks like my mom. We finished our meal quickly, and I went to the hall just in time--to find out that my lecture hall has changed just for today. Okay, my fault for not knowing this earlier, but it's not like I'm gonna stick around the lecture hall outside my faculty just to keep up with the change of venues! Do you?
I glanced at my phone, there was a message. "Do you know the lecture hall has been changed to B~005?" Oh, goody. Now, you only tell me.I don't know which room is B005, since every faculty has either A, B, C labelled on it, and lecture halls denoted by number. I asked my friend where she is now. She said "It's near Hall C. We are entering in now." Duh...
I flagged a shuttle bus and went to the Hall C that I know--miles away from the Hall C that she mentioned. I only knew it as that wrong thing when I described her that place and she said "Where are you now, really? I meant Hall C, our Faculty!"
Double duh...
Okay, one thing about me is that I hate getting to school or classes late. It disrupt everyone's attention, the teacher will hate me and I will look rather silly. So, glancing at my watch, 20 minutes had passed since the start of it, so I decided to skip my current agenda (finding the class which I will get lost the 2nd time anyway), and make a beeline for the library shuttle. I have better things to do, really, like searching for thesis for my assignment. (Pardon my skewed priorities; I put Microbiology first than Analytical Chemistry)
Well, one more thing before I leave: How come you always bump with your friends every time you try to skip classes? And when I'm not skipping classes, they aren't there and I was left wandering like a lost cause. You see, today I skipped my class, and on the way to the library, I bumped into THREE friends of mine TWICE who kept saying "Don't you have a class?" They never bothered talking to me before! Okay, and now, the word's gonna spread that I intentionally skip class and went 'lounging' in the library. (That's not true anyway, but well, people...they tend to look it negatively.) Hahah.
Three cheers for skipping classes! And being in the library 'lounging' with my absstracts and thesis.
Okay, a lighter note:
This is one thing that I found on the internet, done by a guy named Chuck. About food spoilage (which is incidentally, my assignment right now.)

FOOD SPOILAGE TABLE
- THE GAG TEST
- Anything that makes you gag is spoiled (except for leftovers from what you cooked for yourself last night).
- EGGS
- When something starts pecking its way out of the shell, the egg is probably past its prime.
- DAIRY PRODUCTS
- Milk is spoiled when it starts to look like yogurt. Yogurt is spoiled when it starts to look like cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is spoiled when it starts to look like regular cheese. Regular cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyway and can't get any more spoiled than it is already.
- MAYONNAISE
- If it makes you violently ill after you eat it, then the mayonnaise is spoiled.
- FROZEN FOODS
- Frozen foods that have become an integral part of the defrosting problem in your freezer compartment will probably be spoiled - (or wrecked anyway) by the time you pry them out with a kitchen knife.
- MEAT
- If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block radius to congregate outside your house, the meat is spoiled. If opening the refrigerator door causes stray animals from a three-block radius to leave the neighborhood, the meat is really spoiled.
- LETTUCE
- Bibb lettuce is spoiled when you can't get it off the bottom of the vegetable crisper without Comet.
- CANNED GOODS
- Any canned goods that have become the size or shape of a basketball should be disposed of. Carefully.
- CARROTS
- A carrot with which you can tie a clove hitch is not fresh.
- WINE
- It should not taste like salad dressing.
- POTATOES
- Fresh potatoes do not have roots, branches, or dense, leafy undergrowth.
- CHIP DIP
- If you can take it out of its container and bounce it on the floor, it has gone bad.
- GENERAL RULE OF THUMB:
- Most food cannot be kept longer than the average life span of a hamster. Keep a hamster in your refrigerator to gauge this.
