THE AGONY OF ENDING A SCHOOL YEAR

Imagine a school campus from june to march:

students walking, chatting, giggling, reading, playing, eating, doing things to be noticed...

doing projects, surfing the internet, typing, reciting, waiting inside the classroom, loitering along the corridor.

talking to teachers, crying, sobbing, boisterously laughing, clapping, calling someone from the other end..

copying preparations of a classmate, trying to pass through the class when late, saying and writing creative excuse letters.

reading the notes during report sessions, trying to get a glimpse of a classmate's answer during examinations..

queuing to pay fees, securing signatures on the clearances, getting test permits, wearing the school uniform..

entering the classroom with full of students, seeing chalk writings on the board, spending extended time in the comfort room spraying colognes and fixing hair and make up.

Then, imagine the campus without all of these?

Buildings only, vacant classrooms, closed laboratories and libraries, canteens with only chairs and table -- no food and people..

Ah, devastating, silent, eerie, cold, heart breaking, meaningless..

Ah, makes me cry now. Can't continue writing this blog. I miss them all.

Indeed, agonizing..
