FART

KING KRING KRING(alarm clock)

I open my eyes and turn off my alarm. I tried to get up,but my body feels so heavy.

Come on ja, wake up, you still have a lot of activities to do and need to be done today,

I said to myself. When I finally woke up, I prayed silently then went to the bathroom to wash my face. It is 4:30 in the morning when I'm finally done with my morning routine. I went to the kitchen to make tea, after taking a sip, I went straight ahead to my study area to do my daily devotion ( reading the bible and reflecting on my actions). The morning prayer usually starts at 5:30 in the morning so I usually wake up early in the morning to start my day with strength and courage by the word of God.

Before anything else, let me introduce myself. My name is Jhazeery Montefalco, twenty (20) years old, a third year mechanical Engineering student in Optimum University, a number one university which holds the highest passing rate of board exam in the field of mechanical engineering in the Philippines.

A lot of people are asking me why I choose to be a mechanical engineering student despite the fact that this field is dominated by men. Well my answer is simple, because this is my dream! And I can not wait anymore to have the E-N-G-R. Before my name.

(fast forward)

It is already 7:00 in the morning when I have already finished my daily devotion and the morning prayer, my class usually starts at 8: 00 A.M. so I start preparing myself to go to school as early as I can. Well , since I’m currently living in the apartment together with my friend, it is convenient for us to go to school as it is just a five-minute walk away from our apartment.

“ Kiley, sis wake up, it’s already seven in the morning, you have an early class right?” I told my friend as I carefully patted her head. Let me introduce to you my friend as well as my roommate, her name is Kiley Dione, also a third year mechanical engineering student, even if we do have the same major, we do not have the same classes as our classes and sections are determined by our batch representatives which we also called the batch governor.

“Sis, give me more five minutes” kiley replied

“ Come on sis, we both know that your five minutes can be turned to one hour if I don't wake you up repeatedly,” I said to kiley.

Kiley does have the problem of waking up early, that is why she always hates early classes. While waiting for Kiley to get up in her bed, I went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for school.

--------------

Kiley and I are now walking in the hall of our university, heading to our building department which is the building of the College of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts. Yes, students majoring in engineering , and architecture courses are studying in one building but each major has separate departments.

“Ja, what is your first class and in which room are you going in today?” Kiley asked me while she was reading her notes in Thermodynamics.

“I will be in room ME 305 until ten o’ clock for my class in numerical methods, why do you ask?”, I replied.

“ Oh,I plan to borrow your notes in Materials Engineering later, I do have a report for next week, I want to prepare for it as early as I can , I heard final exam will be held in five weeks, so our professors and instructors will surely gives us a bunch of activities once again before the finals week” kiley told me.

“Here we go again, it seems like we need to buy a bulk amount of coffee and take a vast amount of caffeine” I jokingly replied to her and I saw her laugh slightly.

Well , what can we do? It seems like we are not allowed to have a complete eight hours of sleep when you are an engineering student.

We already arrived at our building, Kiley and I separated as she needed to go to the laboratory room.

I walked straight ahead to room ME 305, when I arrived , I already saw my group of friends.

“Good morning” i greeted to my friends

“Oh, hi good morning ja, it is good that you arrived early, I do have a question for you about our quiz later!” Ric replied to my greeting as he kept on searching for something in his bag.

“Wait! What?! Do we have a quiz later?” I exclaimed.

I did not know that we do have a quiz, well I do have a note but it is not enough without the proper knowledge of the concept.

“In which subject? “ I asked

“ ASEAN Literature, do not worry, my source from the other section said that the quiz will only cover the literature of Laos, which we discussed last Thursday, this quiz would be easy for us as it is our report from last week” Ryan answered me.

“Really? That’s good to hear, I thought we will be having a quiz in our major subjects, that would be a mess if that is the case, I have not yet study the concept of thermodynamics then we do still have a technical report,I haven’t started on it , woooaow, we do have so much dishes in our plate!” I told them.

“Nothing’s new sis, we've been like this since freshmen years haha" mae told

That's right, studying at a well known university is really hard as they want us to accomplish the one hundred percent board pass in the licensure exams.

Minutes passed, our instructor arrived and started the lesson when a group of students came and politely asked our instructor if they could enter the room to give some announcement about our major's organization. Yes, every course and every department has their own organization who helps the professor and instructions facilitating the students.

Well, I don't really know the officials of the Mechanical Engineering Student League or the MESL, since our university is not just an ordinary university, so it is hard to know all of them as we all have different classes, schedules and sections. I personally know the president of the organization as I always see her face in every MESL Events and bulletin boards.

" Good morning masters, the Mechanical Engineering Student League are now currently searching for the new batch governor of third year's, as your governor, Allan is resigning on his position this week due to his personal reason. Now if anyone of you are willing to accept the challenge of being the new third year governor, please come to our headquarters, fill up the application form and passed the requirements, everyone of you are welcome to join our cabinets and work with us, that's all thank you" Ms. Yaem , the president of the MESL , said to the whole class.

After her short announcement,they immediately leave the class, my classmates are starting to talk about the new announcement, maybe some of them are interested to join as the officials of MESL.

My morning class has already ended and I'm now going to Room ME 203, as Kiley texted me earlier and asked me to deliver my notes to her in that room.

Since I'm from the third floor of the building, I was about to take the elevator when I felt my stomach hurt.

Here we go again, shocks, I forgot my medicine for my acid reflux.

Yes, I'm currently suffering from acid reflux, and the worst thing about this is I do not always burp, but fart! Yes you heard it right, I do fart from time to time.

I'm already inside of the elevator. Good thing I'm all alone , it seems like no one is going in the elevator anymore as it is closing slowly. I did not hesitate to fart

Pinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnk-----(sound of fart)

when someone suddenly stops the closing of the door of the elevator.

I got startled that cause me to fart loud

Poot!

Wait, what?! DID I JUST FART IN FRONT OF THIS MAN!!!!
