"Worse Than Summer" by ARK

School was boring today, I must admit.

Nothing at all happened. Once again, no professor arrived to meet our class. And it sucks because our schedule made us go to school very early. By 7:30 we were supposed to be at school. We ended up waiting for professors that we knew would not come. Not yet.

You see, this week is the adjustment period. It’s when we could legally NOT come to school. That is because everyone is still ADJUSTING: Even the teachers.

Still, you never know. You could not actually predict whether a professor would appear and do his job early. Some of them are like that. And those professors are the kind who don’t like absences, and don’t tolerate tardiness. Well apparently, none of our enlisted professors -so far- are like that. They would most likely appear on the second week… or if they’re feeling lazy, the third or fourth week.

Anyway, staying in school doing nothing is boring. In fact, going anywhere and doing nothing is boring. You must do something, or else you will melt with boredom. Have something planned –no matter how simple the planned activities are. Or at least have a close friend with you. It’s good to have someone to share the boredom with.

That’s exactly what we did today. My friends and I completely sat outside the classrooms waiting for at least 7 hours. I’m not exaggerating here. This was worse than summer. At least during the summer vacation, Dev and I were able to do more productive things- like sleep and blog. Staying there was a waste of time, money and energy. Good thing I had good friends to stay with.

We stayed there, planning on how to avoid that kind of boredom next week. Yes, ‘cause we’ll be doing it every Tuesday. So we had to think of things we could do during our vacant periods (which is at least 4 hours). We pooled together crazy ideas such as playing Bingo, bringing foldable beds, visiting the university “resort”, and pinching each other. None was good enough to withstand a 4 hour break.

We’ll survive this. I know we will. Things are just a bit harder this year. Last year, we had to endure 3 hours of boredom. Now we have 4 hours and 30 minutes of freedom. Yes, let’s just think of it that way.

Good night everyone. J
