The Beginning Of A New School Year

Today is the beginning of an entirely new school year and I’m NOT IN IT. I can’t even begin to express my joy of not needing to wake up early, wear that hideous uniform that the government forces us to wear and going to school. Actually I can express my joy.

First of all, considering I’m a lazy person and absolutely hate waking up before 11 in the morning, waking up for school for the last few years was not an easy task. I actually skipped a lot of days of school because I overslept. But that’s an entirely different story. THANK GOD that it’s finally over… That is, at least until college. But I’m going to enjoy every second of lazy-ing around before I go to college. But that would be around May. So, I still got time.

Second, I can’t stand the uniform that we are forced to wear. The baju kurung is ok but the pinafore is a terrible thing a person can wear to school. The side of the pinafore has these freaking huge space for the hands and it continues till the waist. So, it leaves the girls with these huge gap at the side. The white blouse that we wear underneath doesn’t do a good job at hiding the colour of a person’s bra. But I think the biggest problem of all about the school uniforms is the colour. The students that wear them are high school girls. They have menstruation and it might stain the uniform. But the government didn’t think of that and made the high school uniform BLUE while the primary school uniform DARK BLUE (almost black). Primary students don’t get menstruation till later, nearing their last two years at primary school. But for all five years at high school, the girl will have it throughout the time. How in the world is the high school girl going to hide the fact if she accidentally stain her uniform?? Seriously, the government should rethink the colour of the uniforms and change it. Pity those students.

Third, going to school has it’s ups and downs. At school, I get to see my friends and we get to chat. But I would also have to see the teachers that are mean and a little mental. It is so rare to find good, nice and sane teacher nowadays.

Anyway, I’m so happy that I DON’T NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!!!! I’m so happy. I even gloated to my nephews and nieces. I know it is a mean thing to do. But it is just so fun. I totally understand why my sister gloated to me when she finished high school. I don’t blame her at all, now that I understand the joy of it.
