Out of the Page
I have yet to adjust to waking up early in the morning; dragging my groggy self from bed and walk heavily towards the shower; eat a quick breakfast meal; pamper myself a bit; then wait patiently for that green van to bring me and my sisters to school.
Ah, the thought of school (again) depresses me. As much as I want to push it away so as not to blog much about it, I simply can't because, let's face it, that's what I'll be stuck with for such a long duration of ten months. Ten torture months for me to endure and enjoy. Ha, let's see how it turns out. I can't wait.
Our first week has officially swooped itself off the calendar. Three days of orientation was frankly a bit uninteresting but of course, it is part of the school routine. A day was alloted for us to meet our subject teachers and I guess this was the only interesting part of the whole first week. But the downside of it was a page full of things to do and homeworks despite the fact that we have not yet officially started class discussions. Mind you, it was as if we had been going to school for a month or so. Well, I guess, consideration is not part of the scheme.
Perhaps, I was just carried away too much by the lazy, unproductive summer that I had this year. Though it was quite an idle time, I still had the opportunity to give myself some R&R-- of which I know I will be greatly deprived of in the coming days.
So, hello dark under eye circles and sleepless nights.
The pressure is definitely on.
