I would like to talk about uh um the thing uh this uh situation comes to me in my university actually it is submission time. Uh most of the engineers are known about the submission is called irritating thing for us because uh at this time all teachers are act as a celebrity and don’t give a sign on our manual. And uh in this submission time me and my friends are waiting for hd uh to come and give uh give gives a sign on our manual but he but uh he don’t uh he took he can he close here uh uh cabin door and don’t and don’t open it until one or two hour. We wait about one to 2 hours and um then our order friends also come and then we talk with each other and uh um all we accepting that all are frustrating because of teacher attitude and uh um but our practical is next day so we have to take sign on the manual otherwise it is uh difficult to us to get in my m in our practicals and it’site uh quite difficult for us to complete our graduation. So after waiting for one 2 hours they finally opens the cabin door but they didn’t give a sign on our menu this uh they told us to um talk with that teacher uh give a letter letter from principal as if we don’t doing any lectures in uh a whole semester. So because of our uh uh our misbeavior now we all have to face this and it is and we have we all wait about um about uh 20 to 60 30 to 40 minutes on each uh teacher’ca beins and it is the most waiting thing that I had been and uh I don’t like to do this uh but uh it is necessary for me so I have to do it.

I'd like to talk about a situation that happened during my university days. It was submission time, and as most engineering students know, this is a particularly stressful period. It's often referred to as an 'irritating thing' because all the professors seem to act like celebrities, making it difficult to get their signatures on our manuals. During this time, my friends and I were waiting for our professor, Mr. HD, to come and sign our manuals. However, he locked himself in his office and refused to open the door for a good one to two hours. We waited patiently, and as time went by, more of our classmates arrived. We all started talking and expressing our frustration with the professor's attitude. We knew we had to get his signature because our practical exams were the next day, and without it, we wouldn't be allowed to participate. It would have been a major setback for our graduation. After waiting for two hours, he finally opened the door, but instead of signing our manuals, he told us to speak to another professor and get a letter from the principal. It seemed like he was punishing us for not attending lectures throughout the semester. We were all forced to wait another 30 to 40 minutes in each professor's office, which made the entire experience even more frustrating. It was the longest and most tedious wait I've ever had to endure. While I didn't enjoy it, it was necessary to complete our graduation requirements, so I had to do it.
