What Is Your Excuse Today?

I changed my mind before entering the blue doors of the weight room in my gym. There was the soothing sound of water trickling  down from the fountain. I felt more thirsty as I waited.

— “Hey, Saad!” exclaimed a low voice. I looked to my right. He just came out of that blue door of the weight room.

— “You used to be my TA !” he said. It always feels good to meet your past students, especially ones that still remember you. I looked hard. Remembering my students’ names used to be my forte, but probably not anymore.
