consciously wrong

I am very, very poor in drawing.

Last Wednesday, it felt like I had the most embarrasing moment in school. Why? The professor asked me to illustrate through drawing a provision in the Civil Code. I was supposed to draw a river, lands on both sides, and the sudden change in the river course. The idea was to present which of the two landowners have the right to the old bed due to the change in river course. Anyway, I couldn’t really refuse, could I? So I went to the board and whispered to the professor, “Sir, I have poor drawing skills.” With what seemed a mocking tone, he said, “of course.” (Does he really know my inability to draw? haha) So there I was, drawing in the board, which drawing even a preschooler could draw, and which drawing even a college graduate could not reasonably fathom without explanation for me. After my illustration and recitation, I sat down. I saw my drawing on the board. And it was, without exaggerating, really ugly. My seatmate was actually laughing at my drawing (at me) haha.

The next day, a classmate told me he noticed something wrong when I was drawing. I expected that it was my poor illustration. He said, I had a bulging stomach! haha. I guess I need some help (i.e., apidexin) in that, and not really in my drawing. I was so conscious and anxious about my drawing, I forgot to tuck in my tummy. Nahalata tuloy na malaki. haha.
