Ménage à trois, vous allez?

My professor shared to us about her experiences during College; and we knew that her course requires her to master 2 foreign languages - and as for her, she mastered French and Bahasa Indonesia, so we asked her things about the two languages.

And as for me, I had been baffled that time with what ménage à trois meant. So, I saw this as a perfect opportunity to ask her with what it meant. So I asked, ‘So Ma’am, what does ménage à trois mean?’ and she gave me a shocked looked and said, ‘Why are you asking me that?’

I took my personal hypothesis in my head (Which was, ménage à trois meant you can manage three persons in a relationship) and asked her again, ‘Ma’am, what does ménage à trois literally mean?’ (Hoping that she’ll answer me this time) And she gave me that annoyed look.

My girlfriend (Who happens to be my classmate) tried to signal me something, it was like more of a shut up or a stop talking signal. After class, she said, ‘Why did you ask about those?’ in an angry tone and I said this in reply, ‘I don’t know what it meant so I asked her.’

She gave me that annoyed look too and said, ‘Ménage à trois meant threesome! Threesome in a pornographic way!’ I asked her back, ‘Diba it means you’re having two lovers at the same time?’ And clearly she gave me a no.

From that moment on when I reminisced that moment, I felt that I lost my sanity when I asked my professor that question. Or sort of, died from embarrassment.

Imperfect Chemistry at the wrong timing

More so or less, I am about to tell you that this blog - although it's a spark of my ever-changing mind, is created at the wrong timing. This was created in the midst where I am about to take my removals in Chemistry - Basic Chemistry, that is.

Taking removals at Chemistry would lead you to think that I suck at it, well yes, I could render myself dumb at Chemistry - but one thing that I learned about it is that I am not dumb. Psychological reversal? How about taking this for a thought to ponder - I didn't suck at Chemistry, I simply procrastinated at everything that I did. (I know the word procrastination struck you like lightning, too)

It sounded like a tantrum for what is the consequence of my wrongdoings, but sincerely it is. Chemistry is not a hard subject - but it takes patience and true dedication (As what my friend in school told me) to pass the subject.

As for me, I took things the light way; I slacked lecture (I took it for granted, just so you know) and I have shed my blood (Well, not literally) on the laboratory subject. Chemistry is a pass all course - meaning, you have to pass both lecture and laboratory to pass the entire course. I got a 2.0 on my laboratory subject, a 1.5 on my final examinations (Which is unsurprisingly a lecture-related examination) and a whopping 5.0 in my lecture (Comprising of my quizzes and previous exams taken before the final exam).

I was in aghast when I looked at my final grade at Chemistry - a 5.0, for which I literally begged for my teacher to reconsider provided that I pass the removal exam, in which I am going to take it on the 25th. She granted my wish, because she saw the potential in me to pass the course.

I hope I will pass the course. I pray that I do. As of the moment, I'm going to prepare for it. God bless to you and me, my friend.
