My name is Sarah. I'd like to tell you a funny case that happened to me.
This story happened a long time ago. I was a student and in my free time
I led an active social life. From September to November,
I had not been paying much attention to my studies, from December to January I had been preparing for the exams, and then I had been resting again from February to May. In summer, it was easier from me to pass the exams. So, after all the exams were passed I went to rock bar, where my favourite local band was performing. I was in the company of my friends,
we were celebrating the passing of all exams the whole evening.
I met young girl, her name was Irene. We had a great time and agreed to meet in a week.
On the 1st of September I came to the university as usual. We had a new subject "applied mathematics". We were waiting for the teacher when
Irene entered the lecture room. It turned out she was our teacher.
We were embarrassed, but we did not tell anyone that we had met before. We didn't want other students to think that Irene could be more loyal to me than to other students because we had become acquainted before.
Irene didn't work at the university after I had graduated.
