She wanted to shout at Peter and ask him what he's up to, but she also doesn't want to assume that it is her he is referring to."Look at Peter! I didn't know he has that sweet side of him. And his girlfriend has the same name as you. What department do you think she's from?" Professor Jennings asked. She was giggling while admiring Peter's courageous act."Probably from the Tourism department. I heard most students there are gorgeous." Emily answered. She doesn't want Professor Jennings to think that she could probably the same Emily Peter is referring to.Emily could hear many voices behind her stating how disappointed they are for this sudden turn of events. Most of the voices are of course from women. Peter has been the crush of many girls not only from the nursing department but from the whole campus."I still can't believe that he is the same Peter in our class. He is so quiet and sno
Emily's POV"I have a surprise for you." This statement keeps rewinding in my head. What could be his surprise? Maybe he would just show off his skills in basketball which I think everyone already knows. I have seen him play last year in the Sports Fest and I also saw him practicing in some of the games. He's indeed the star player of the nursing department. Nothing is surprising with that.I chose to spend the whole morning in the faculty room. I remember I have to check the papers for the last test. Luckily, I saw the answer key in one of my desk drawers. No matter how I try to accept my situation now, I still can't believe I would be a professor, let alone a biology professor. I have never liked science since I was young and my memory sucks. Whoever is behind this might be laughing right now knowing that I'm in big trouble."Professor Chavez, don't you have any plans to have lunch?" Professor Jennings asked. She's one of the three pharmacology professors in the university."I'm not
January 12, 2016, the third day for Emily as a professor, the day she hopes won't happen again. She still hopes that the things that happened in the past days were only a part of her long dream and she will eventually wake up and laugh about it. She got up from her bed, took a shower and prepared to go to school. Her ID card is hanging in front of her vanity mirror. She never checked the details on her ID card for the past days since she it is always where it should be in the morning. She checked the detail in front of her card, it contains her name, student number and the phrase NURSING DEPARTMENT written in bold letters. "Student number!" She shouted. "I'm a student!" She hurriedly left her room and went to the kitchen where her parents are as usual. "I told you not to wear those crappy clothes! How can your students respect you if you just look like them? When will you start acting like a real adult?" She then look at her husband hoping to get support."Your mom is right. You sho
That night, Emily couldn't sleep. She was thinking deeply of how she ended up having this problem. She was thinking of everything Peter said. What if she would have to go through this problem forever? Does she have to spend a day in two separate days having different personas? She pities Peter. This experience must be so terrible for him knowing that he had face it alone. She can't imagine herself being abandoned by her parents. "I have to be nice to him starting tomorrow!" She got up from her bed looking so determined. She realised she doesn't have any reason to complain since Peter actually has a worse experience than her. Now that she knows she's not alone, she can get through this situation with Peter's help.Emily is known to her family and friends as someone who is so empathetic to others. She helped many people in her own simple way even though others don't ask her for help. She cries easily whenever she sees older people working or when she sees some stray animals who have no
Being a nurse is a job mostly for women, Nurses have to be caring and understanding to their patients. Women have that motherly instinct which means taking care of others can be easier for them than men. Most people in Peter's family have the same thought. Nursing course is for women, but Peter ignored them all. Peter grew up in a simple family from the Philippines. His family moved to the country since he was young. His mom is a nurse while his dad works in a small restaurant downtown. It was his parents' dream for him to be architect or an engineer, but Peter ended up taking up nursing for his major despite his parents refusal. "You should listen to me. I'm a nurse. This job is too difficult. I just want you to be like other boys who can spend time with their family on holidays. I regret not being able to spend many Christmas and Thanksgiving with you and James because I have to work." It was when he announced to the family that he applied for a nursing school and he got accepted.
"Here we go again." Emily murmured to herself. She was about to go back to her room when her mom shouted her name. "Emily! How long will you stand there? Don't tell me you won't eat your breakfast again? Working really changed you, huh! Earning your own money doesn't mean you can ignore the food I prepare at home!" Her mom always has a way to make her feel guilty which in reality is not effective at all. It has only been the second day for Emily to work. She can't even remember how she started working. Knowing that her mom won't stop nagging, she sat down on the dining table and examine the food in front of her: fried rice, fried fish, fried egg and the meat dish they had last night. On normal days, Emily would eat everything without any worries. She loves everything her mom cooks. But today is a special day, this is the first morning she would have breakfast as Professor Emily. Her dad sat down beside her without her even noticing. "I said good morning." He repeated. "Sorry, dad.
Emily was confident in answering the questions in her biology exam, but the familiarity of the questions including the choices bothers her. She was surprised to see that it had the exact questions she saw in her dream. She looked around to check the reaction from other students. "Is it like de ja vu?" She asked herself. Can it still be part of her dream. "Focus on your test paper, Miss Chavez!" Professor Blakely shouted. He was staring at Emily with a suspicious look on his face. No one in the room said anything. Everyone was busy with their own test. Emily could feel a sense of guilt inside her. She clearly remembers how she checked the questions from her dream and what the answers were. One paper included the answers to the test. Although she doesn't need to recall the answers from the paper since she is familiar with all the questions in the test, she still feels uncomfortable knowing that her classmates worked so hard for this test. She finished her test faster than all her cla
Emily woke up from the alarm from her clock on her bedside table. She got up immediately and checked her phone. It's 7AM. She's aware that it's 7AM since her alarm clock is set to ring at that time, but she still wants to check it just in case it was too early or too late for her to wake up. She went straight to her small bathroom to take a shower. Her room is quite spacious with a few decorations hanging on the wall. She considers herself a minimalist. She doesn't feel comfortable posting anything on the walls in her room. She's also not that particular with colors. Her walls have a white floral wallpaper and the color of her bedsheet, pillowcases and blanket don't match. It's her mom who changes them once a month. After taking a shower and drying her hair, she put on a plain tshirt and jeans and took her backpack. She paused for a few minutes and sat down on the edge of her bed. "Do I still need to go to school?" She asked herself. Her experience yesterday was not good at all and d
"Stay away from me!" Emily shouted then ran away from James as fast as she could. James was left surprised. The students in the park looked at him in a strange way. "I didn't do anything!" He tried to defend himself against the looks of disgust from the people around him. They may think he was harassing a woman nonetheless a professor inside the school, so he had to defend himself. Emily couldn't stand it anymore. She was trying her best to calm down and think of how she got in this situation. She was waiting for anyone who would announce that everything was just a prank and that everyone took part in it, but it was already almost lunchtime and no one revealed the truth yet. Without looking back, she went out from the campus and headed straight home. There must be an explanation of how she ended up being a different person. Upon arriving home, she was greeted by her mom who looked worried seeing her. She was busy in her garden. Emily hugged her tightly for comfort. "Are you okay,
I woke up on a bench in the park near my department building. I can't remember how I got in here. I must have been so tired preparing for the midterm exams. I am now a sophomore student taking up nursing. Nursing is not really my first choice for my major, but my mom insisted that I take this course. As she always says "Being a nurse is one of the most stable jobs. Schools and businesses may close but hospitals will never have that problem." I protested for a long time, but as everyone knows, Asian moms are known as tiger moms. They are so protective of their kids to the point that they make sure they always choose the best decisions for them. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom and she actually has a point. Most of the friends I have from the Philippines which is where my parents were born by the way took up nursing. Both my parents are nurses. So as they say, older people know better because they have more experiences. As for my school, I chose the one near my place. I can go to bet
