ma'm ! i'm concerned about my mind!

so it was the first year at my new college in India , in 2010.

since it was the first year the common engineering subjects where presented. our class was  very populated ..something like 80+ people from 3 or more different batches who where there for the common subjects.

we had that subject called English communication skills lab or something like that..

we where supposed to do some exercises on the computers and yes! people where playing or roaming on their pc's most of the time.

in middle of the semester, the mock seminar was scheduled which was a preparation for the main seminar in the end.

the day arrived and half of the class where there to speak up about something they want for some few minutes.

of course,the professors where good enough ,with high knowledge.

so the first person finished the work on the stage . the professor had noted down some suggestions of improvement for the person  during the work and then she started to mention them " as far as the language concerns , you should do .." this and that  and not be nervous...

the second person went up and then ,madam did the same "  as far as the language concerns , you should not use.."

 

the third ,fourth ..and I think ,yes ..almost for everybody this idiom was used : " as long as the language concerns.." .

that day I was of course excited and nervous for my speech! that I couldn't actually get my attention more engaged in this boring and very repetitive idiom..but trust me, when you hear it almost 40 times in  1.5 hours , you will find it funny, irritating and concerning enough to remember it after 2 years.

so , with all due respect ma'm, i'm more concerned about my mind! which I should had told you that day!
