First Week in New School

I've successfully submitted my Business and Economics Assessment Tasks this morning, as both are due on the same day, but different hours. And should I by any means consider this first weekend without having to think about both report and essay a real weekend?

Apparently not.

I have to start composing my speech for my Bahasa Indonesia Assessment, due this Monday. 2 days, free at last, to research and write a speech. To submit it, and read it aloud infront of the class on Tuesday.

And the worst part is, my new building does not even look like a school. Most importantly, I felt like Im in a mall somewhere having lunch at the colorful cafeteria (overpriced and tasted awful). Sitting in some kind of a seminar in the white, freezing classrooms. Opening colorful lockers with the latest technology in locker keys provided by the school.

I feel like doing anything but doing something productive with my brain.

Weird, I do miss my old school, despite our constant mockery to the boring canteen and rotten building, it was a school. Funny Im not all that excited about having a renewed, humongous, modern, shiny and minimalist school building.

Maybe its because I would have to wake up earlier to ensure that I will be able to park my car in the school's basement, and also because our arrivals are being recorded through our smart cards we scanned to enter the building.

As written by Chrispian here, also some of my other school mates' blogs, I'm not alone in this preferance of the old building thing.

But hey, every changes take time. I have to adapt, like it or not. And Im sure it'll all get better once we get along :)

omg. hahahahaha i might recognize your sentiment, have you seen my canteen @ univ,? they have a fucking teppanyaki place right in there!

But... think... how many students, parents, little kids' eyes that are fixated on that building when they passed it on their way to their schools, their jobs, their malls, which they also think its boring.

Think not just outside the box, but inside the other box. Greed is one of the 7 major sins, and yes, the lawn of your neighbor is always greener, or in this case, the past is always sweeter.

Be happy that you are lucky enough to actually spend a couple of months in that kind of luxury, while your senior here can only see from afar.
