A typical day of my life starts with the fast forward button...
I hear some faint music, as though it's coming from the bottom of a well... I rub my eyes, to focus on the source of the sound (I generally associate it to an irritating sound, because I hate to get up that early!)... It's just my cellphone ringing an alarm at 4.30 AM. I reach for the snooze button and slump back on bed... Slowly, a huge poster of God, which is pasted on the wall of the room comes into focus. Within a minute I'm up and running into the bathroom. Generally, tuition classes start at 6 AM, so i'm usually up an hour earlier. I brush hurriedly and run into the kitchen to prepare my breakfast - usually oatmeal porridge. As it boils, I run to get my books and records arranged for school. I then let the porridge cool, as I rush into the bathroom again to have a bath. By the time I'm out and dressed up in my uniform, the porridge cools. I then hurriedly gulp it down (breakfast part-1!) and pick up my helmet and run to my scooter...
Life hits the slow button now...
I ensure that I ride at a reasonable speed (never more than 35km/hr) and ensure that I'm on time to class. Generally, it's the morning classes that i like the most, as it's the time when my attention is never diverted easily (it's always either Maths, taught by a really nice teacher or its Chemisty by a teacher whom I liked the best, throught my schooling...). These classes last nearly one and half hours and end at 7.30AM.
Life hits the fast forward again...
I return home with less than half an hour to spare for school to start. I rush home and gobble up my food (breakfast part 2!). Then, I rush to school...
Now, life returns to normal.
School starts at 8 AM... I'm usually at school atleast 5 minutes to spare before they start penalizing us for coming late and I've maintained a clean record for seven years now (That is to say, I've never been late to this school!). I really don't have to describe school... I'll do that in a separate blog... The classes start around 8.45 AM. I paricularly like the physics and chemistry classes... Many people tend to disagree, but, hey! it's my opinion! We break twice (one short, nearly 10minutes at 10.05 AM and one long, nearly 25 minutes for lunch at 12.10 PM). School ends finally around 3.15 PM...
Now, life runs a very fast forward...(life is too cruel, so is fate...)
I generally go home to leave my school bag and run back to school... Wondering why!?! The queer thing is that this tuition (for physics) runs at school... The teacher (or should i say professor!) who runs this tuition is a balding man in his early sixties... He is one person who gets on my nerves... The class lasts two hours and ends at nearly 5.45 to 6PM...
From this point, life gradually slows down, till i hit the bed...
I reach home to get myself a spot of early dinner... I listen to some music, and try to relax my nerves (from the pressure in the evening tuition class!)... And finally I try to read up something (for tests or just to refresh my memory) till my brain wont concentrate and starts revolting by shutting my eyes involuntarily... I fall on the bed around 9 PM, exhausted, but nonetheless, with a feeling of fulfillment...
Looking back now, I feel that I've invested a good amount of time and have no regrets about wasting it, whatsoever...
