Parents' Signature

“I had parents’ consent!”

We often ask our parents’ signature for a number of reasons. First, when we need to abide tasks given to us. We use it as an excuse to not do it; we give them the perception that our parents had the compliance to allow us to be exempted. One very good example is what we are experiencing now, though given the fact that it’s not VALID. (C’mon, define VALID. *pft*) So, here’s how the story goes: there is this study period in our dormitory wherein we are all “OBLIGED” to attend. We sit there staring at unmitigated ceiling and walls, waiting for them to speak and tell us to stop gawking. Oops, I mean, wherein we must study to become good and responsible interns, at the same time a successful person in the making. But wishful thinking, there shouldn’t be any study period or some sort like it. Who would want to be dragged to the study hall and be forced to study? Okay, exaggeration, but again, who would want to study in a crowded area, where murmurs are gradually increasing and becoming chitchats, then all of a sudden it becomes clamour, then here comes the mighty matron, trying to save the day and she purses her lips, makes a sshhh sound, and viola! SILENCE. It’s like more of a cycle to me, the same things happen, silence-murmurs-chitchats-clamour-silence. *sigh* It’s getting on my nerves already! So, stop babbling for a moment and get to the point. We thought that if we let our parents write us a letter regarding the exemption from the study period, they would let us to do so as we wanted. But we’re wrong as big as a ton! They still wouldn’t let us! *urgh* Makes no sense, right? LET’S TAKE THE DARN BUILDING DOWN! GO! GO! GO! ROGER THAT! Kidding!
