SCHOOL >>> for the first three weeks

In just a blink of an eye, it's already the fourth week of school. It would be the end of third and the first half of the fourth to be exact as the year started off mid week.

I had been working part time during the holidays and doing homework whenever I had the time, so when school finally started, I felt a great sense of relief. I had my peers around me, sharing how they spent their holidays either cooped up at home or enjoying their time on an overseas trip. It was exciting, stepping into a new class with many foreign faces, anticipating for the arrival of our unknown subject teachers, hoping they gave less homework and running up and down the corridors during recess in search of ex-classmates.

This excitement however, was short lived as homework started piling up not only in our bags but also in the internet. The teachers had apparently emailed us our work through the internet, believing students would be more motivated to complete it since we had the chance to use the computer. Unluckily for me, my computer had broken down and my only hope to complete my assignments through the computer was to use the computers in the school library during my core humanities lesson(I take core art and lessons are held after school so I have a few free periods during curriculum time when the other students are having their humanities lesson) my only hope was soon dashed as our vice principle forbid us to use the computers during these periods of time.

Fortunately, my father was able to bring his laptop home from work for me to complete the assignments through internet.

The never-ending pile of homework will always be there haunting all students. However I believe that there is a reason for this cycle and that all cycles are created for a good purpose. The purpose being none other than increasing the knowledge of the younger generations, so that they need not waste time and energy on finding out what has already been discovered but build on what earlier generations had came up with.
