Yay, it’s the falling-sick season… I don’t know if it’s a curse or something, I always fall sick when it comes to semester break. I’ve been through hell when I am busy studying, and now I am at another different level of hell which torments my physical condition and challenges my emotional intelligence. Hey, just give me a break.
Last semester break I suffered from a flu that lasted for almost three months, and now here comes more good news: I have to go to school to provide “free labour” because of our dear USM policy, and I suffer from gastritis. All these actions of burning time and burning stomach ain’t helping my burning purse at all! Well I haven’t started my slavery period yet, but I can already imagine how much worse my temper will become.
(note to myself: Deep breath… I must refrain from using negative words…)
Last week I went back to Jit Sin (my former From Six School) to settle the ROKS (Rancangan Orientasi Kendiri Sekolah) thingy, and it just turned out GREAT. MY friend and I went to see the principal at 10am, and he insisted of sending us to the afternoon session when we requested for morning one, so okay, we were asked to come back at 1pm to meet the PK Petang, and so we waited. When we arrived at the principal’s office at 1pm, he was nowhere to be seen. And so we waited until 2.30pm, an office staff just came back from lunch and helped us to contact the principal, and he said he’ll come back in half an hour, and so we waited for him until 3pm. Then finally the thing was settled. Phew. But dear principal, how could you ask us to see you at 1pm and you appeared only 2 hours later without leaving a note? Is it time is precious to you but not to us? From 10am to 3pm, we wasted about 5 hours literally doing nothing. What a great school, great... (stuffed my mouth with food to prevent babbling)
And so, since the principal already signed the documents I can’t change to other schools so I think I’ll just stick with my destiny, which will begin this Thursday (lucky number 13!). My mentor turned out to be a nice person, well, based on first impression, so I hope I will really learn something from her so that I can forgive whatever misfortune that has befallen on me. Yup. Looking on the brighter side, most of my mentor classes are Form 1, which means I get a chance to observe and learn how a KSSR classroom is, and that means valuable new experience. For now, let me just keep positive thoughts in mind.
The goddamn stomach! I think it’s my own doing of pouring coffee into my empty stomach every morning that results in my suffering. GREAT. Now not only I have to quit coffee, there’s a whole lot of food that I cannot put into my tummy. I can’t fall asleep at nights because of the stomach, and I sleep a lot during the day because of the medication I take. I am hungry but my stomach puts on the no-entry sign. It’s torturing! What can I say is that I totally deserve it.
I hope my tummy will stop acting up when I go to school. I planned to find some part-time job to fill in the morning as the ROKS thingy isn’t promising me any income, and you know how poor uni students have to work in order to survive, yeah? But because of me falling sick I have wasted my time on sleeping and didn’t manage to secure any job yet. (sigh…) And of course because I am not the hard-working type, so I have a hard time persuading myself to get the lazy ass up and search for a job.
So, let me conclude, in the end I deserve EVERY misfortune that has befallen on me. Good job.
