The 14th of November, lad decides to go to class without taking that much needed shower.....oh get off your high horse, you've probably done so more times than I have. Never quite understood why lecturers hold themselves with such high regard..weren't they students once? Barking orders all the time, considering themselves perfect beings in this world of imperfections, ha..and it never gets old for them.
So we have a cat scheduled for the day, exactly after class, and the brilliant lecturer keeps this to himself, like we are to inertly know of the cat or something. Do you now see what I mean by their high endedness. The lecturer gets to class to find not more than 50 students out of his normal 200 and decides to issue the cat nonetheless and let the rest of us hang dry. Clearly this lecturer has never crossed college students aggrieved by empty wallets, demanding 'spouses' and constant hangovers. What follows next seems like a scene from hunger games..heckling, guys running about like mad people and the whole school comes to a halt, mostly to watch 3rd years venting albeit in a manner the exact opposite of nonchalant. The mayhem, the destruction and the rowdiness at play is out of this world. The lecturer is beaten up nearly half dead, the police arrive just in time and fire teargas right into a crowd of students gathered at the school's square, deliberating on how they would proceed to burn the library. Actually that's a fib, none of that happens, I mean, we are law students for Christ's sake, amidst all the hullabaloo of a stressing college life and few instances of insanity, we have to carry ourselves with decorum. Just heckling and insults that I fringe to even think of are hurled.
The dean, bulky man with a terrifying look and voice angrily steps out of his class, gives us one pissed off look and demands a sitting with us.Had guys known he was in class I bet there would have been a different turn of events. He lets us have a piece of his mind and boy its a large one. He goes on and on about how we are his golden class and how he is disappointed and what not...pin drop silence in the hall, no one dares say a word. The deans threat of whipping the whole lot of us, even though said as a joke is ever imminent.
All in all I'm happy, happy that we heckled, happy that we let out our anger and disappointment, albeit in a less than honorable way, we nonetheless let it out. Its been a longtime coming, especially with the constant disappointment and frustration by the school. The Greeks once said that one day the humans will stand up and question the gods. That incident is one step in that direction, us questioning the god that is the schools administration.
