I'm not the smartest person.

When it comes to Arithmetic.

When it comes to Abstract Reasoning.

When it comes to being sensitive.

When it comes to love.

I let my guard down again.

I can't help it. I'm so in love with this guy for a grand total of three years.

I was seventeen when I fell in love with him.

I'm twenty and still in love with him.

But I can assure you one thing...

I'm not as dumb as I used to be.

Some things never change

I walked in the lecture theatre and had to smile to myself. I recognized all the familiar faces that had been a part of my geeky life for a good twelve weeks now.

The weirdo who comes in late and sits at the very front row of the theatre disrupting the class at the process because of his enormous laptop case that makes clacking sounds.

The surfer dude who sits at the left side of the theatre wearing army green shorts and brown havaianas thongs and chews on his pen til he hurts himself.

The chinese congregation who clusters at the front and centre of the theatre writing furiously on their notebooks.

The spastic exchange student from norway who writes on his foot "just for kicks".

The International student from Russia who is so eager to make friends with everyone he's become so popular as the try-hard.

The "dreadlocks gang" who goes to uni like they haven't showered and pollutes the theatre as they come in.

The oldies who woke up one day with the thought, "What am I doing with my life? I'm going to Uni." in their heads.

Then there's me. Who sits at the back of the theatre, slouched down and unnoticed. Scribbling away. Nodding occasionally pretending to listen. With an earnest look in my face, I'm the epitome of a good student... NOT!

I learned how to sleep with my eyes open. I can't go through the day without feeling the urge of bashing my head on the wall. Especially during Economics. We just changed our lecturer and he's so bad I can bet my neck I can teach better than him.

Even with his honors and PhD, he didn't teach us much with anything. Now, Final exams are just around the corner and I'll be damned if I passed that subject.
