Running Under the Rain to attend lecture.

By: Maryjane Oruche

It was in the early hours of the morning ,  the  300 level students of mass communication in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University were preparing for their 9 o'clock lecture with Dr Nwabueze .C when suddenly it started raining, some of the students were discouraged from attending the lecture with the excuse that the lecturer won't come since its raining. Some decided to wait for the rain to stop so that will rush and meet up with the lecture, little did they know that the lecturer was already in class and was surprised to meet an empty class with no students in it.
     Under the category of the students that were waiting for the rain to stop lies Miss Agbasimelo Sharon, who was looking out through her  window in her lodge  and was begging the rain as if it is holding the key to her success. It didn't occur to her  that all this while she was sitting at home, that the lecturer was already in class and was about to give out quiz to the few students who later came in

    The rain finally reduced a little bit and Sharon couldn't help but to dash out with her friends who were already waiting for her under the rain . On getting to class, she was shocked to realize that the lecturer was already in class and giving test to the students that were already present. She stood transfixed. She started pleading with the lecturer but he told her that she will be allowed to enter the class if she presents a copy of a magazine and newspaper and a shower cap she wore to school to prevent rain from touching her hair.
      Sharon presented the newspaper and magazine but she unable to find a shower cap because she didn't come to school with any. The lecturer later allowed the late comers to enter the class and partake in the quiz.
