Covid 19 pandemic has made everything virtual and since it's online teaching learning now, I remembered that I started to loose interest in my studies.
It was Wednesday afternoon, nearly the time for our lunch. I was same as usual uninterested as always because it was economics lecture, the one which doesn't spares us any mercy or a break. The lecture started and I suppose that literally all of our students felt sleepy and tired during this lecture. The teacher started to teach without any mercy and me and my friend as usual started to chit chat on social media side by side.
After some time the lecture started to end. It was the attendance time. My name got called out and half of my class gave their attendance. But the main incident took place now. There was one girl name Tina and she was a newcomer . I didn't knew her personally. So when the teacher called out her name, there was silence.
The teacher then repeated the names who were absentees for the day. The teacher called out Tina and suddenly one kid replied and said present. The teacher was smart. She knew it isn't Tina so she asked who is this? Silence again. The teacher shouted and said turn your microphone Tina. And then it was seen that it was Tina's small sibling.
Teacher anger aroused, she asked where is Tina? The kid replied that “she is sleeping and she told me to write her name in the attendance box but you was calling out names so I replied.”
As soon as the child said Tina is sleeping , I felt to laugh hard. It seemed funny to me because I know how it feels during the lecture especially afternoon ones. So after this , the teacher told the kid she wants to talk with Tina's parents tomorrow and the meet ended.
This incident probably gave me a little energy to attend the online classes. I felt and realised that it is not the place and time which is important to enjoy and grow but it is the people or the presence of someone that makes things look enjoyable. From that day , I changed my mindset and started to learn and enjoy my online classes. It was really the funniest experience during my online classes since sleeping during the lecture was normal according to me and I could understand Tina well.
