Chapter 7: All in the School

So I’ve passed my first week at school, which is great, but it was only three days, not the usual five, but nonetheless, I passed it. I said to myself “Hey, I think this place is way better than the previous one in Malaysia, and it also brings me back good times. I brought my smartphone with me, but I saw a black small bag that is for keeping all electronic devices. I felt a little freaked out but you know what they say, you got to do what you got to do. All was well until I encountered my Indonesian Language teacher. He looks quite distraught which made me feel a little agitated as the study progressed. I passed the ultimate test of enduring a seemingly expressionless teacher, it was quite creepy but at least I’ve passed. Then all other subjects have finished without a single homework given. It was quite a record at the time considering that homework is pretty common in a lot of schools around the big world. I was never a really good joker in my life, but I made laughs, at least. The further time passes by as I go to school every single weekday and I’ve completed my first full week of this school.

Ah, the holidays. Good time killer playing the PS4 all day, I played video games for 13 hours in a row every weekend and also in case of a random public holiday. I played Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey all day long because somehow it’s addictive to me. It was great fun playing that game. But of course, the playing spree has to end at some point. My mom, again, yes I know that’s annoying, told me to sleep, as usual. At prime moments of the game I would ask my mom if she let me play the crucial in-game moment, sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn’t. And for now, she lets me play that last part I desperately needed to finish so I’ll not have back-breaking burden to replay the game.

I’m now in the third nominal week or second full week, and I feel quite bored going to school because I have to take a shower, dress up, eat breakfast, go to school on foot and possibly sweating in the process, and do a lot of studying. But I guess that’s necessary for the future, huh? Okay, then. Here I come, the third week of school. Apparently, I didn’t make friends at a really fast rate because I’m an introvert, in which case you don’t want to talk to someone else voluntarily, that’s the meaning of introversion, or introvert, or whatever you want to call it. I just got to my friends for a few more weeks at the school until I made friends with different graders. Since I don’t have many friends, school wasn’t particularly fun or even interesting, with my only interest at the time being only trying to have enough time to play PS4 so I can experience fun.
