Registrar scare

Yesterday, while in animation class. That guy from the registrar's office came knocking on the classroom door. Sir Benjie excused himself to know what the guy's deal is. He handed sir Benjie an envelope with a white long sheet of paper and a pen. Then sir Benjie said, "Who's John Paul Samonte?" I'm not sure if I would like to get my butt off the chair, I thought I have done something wrong. A major offense? Did my check just bounced? Maybe it's about that damaged book I haven't payed yet in the library, or worse. I stood up, checked the paper and sir Benjie said, "Pirmahan mo daw." It was a long list of my stay in school, the subjects I have taken, and I think my grades, these past terms. Still not sure to affix my signature, I excused myself from class and asked the registrar guy outside. "Kuya anu to?" He said, "pirmahan mo, Dean's List yan." I let out a smirk, and checked under the white paper. Clearly, it was the envelope for the Dean's list certificate. I signed the long paper and the guy handed me the envelope like I just received a cellphone bill. My classmates also stared wondering why this guy's letting me sign in a rush. And when I told them what it really is, they all laughed, even sir Benjie. One of them said, "Aba sosyal, dinedeliver na pala certificates ngayon..." Whew, talk about major offenses! At least I will not be having trouble getting it in the help desk just like I always do. =p
