Wednesday, August 27

Monday was fine.
Everything was sublime.
From a classmate wearing a red and white cap
which was absolutely hilarious
he looked like he was celebrating National Day
To a smooth day of school
No slackers in the team, no tough work.
It was a good day.

Tuesday wasn't that fine.
A lab was our classroom for half of the day
Supposed to test computer peripherals we were
HP, Epson, Canon, Creative all sorts of brands
Canon failed miserably
Fury, rage all boiled inside me
Scream, shout, holler, yell
Then I found out classmates filmed me being angry
Over a malfunctioning Canon scanner

Today, Wednesday, wasn't that good too
I told myself "I won't be happy today"
How true that was
Early in the morning people get on my nerves
and I seethe in silence for the whole day
Not my normal weirdy (I think I am) self
Not my usual working (I think I am) self
Classmates concerned ask me what's wrong
I feel good that they're concerned
and want the normal me back
but inside I'm telling myself
No, no normal me back today

No, no normal me back for a while
Stupid slackers, hell to slackers
Why should I work like a mule, a martyr, a one man show
and get the same grade as them?
Deep down I know I've learnt stuff and they haven't
but at the end of the day
all that matters is the A, B, C, D.
****ing slackers.
I need to rest for a while.
I need to clear my mind.
I need to see the sun and the moon.
I need to talk to people not from school.
Get away from schoolwork
and get away from lucky slackers

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thursday is an enigmatic day, full of promise
I think I'll be alright after a good night's sleep
or after chatting with somebody wacky
Sigh.
