Welcome Back to School

... or welcome to college

Either way, it seems that summer's ending for most students. Welcome back to school.

I passed by Metropolitan Medical Center (initially named Metropolitan Hospital) a few days ago and I saw some students from Chiang Kai Shek and St. Stephen walking with their so called 'barkada' sharing about their summer experiences. They wanted a longer summer vacation. It seemed that summer was too short for them.

I brightened up a bit when I saw the internet cafe in MMC (Metropolitan Medical Center) bustling in action again. Students crowded the room. Some were chatting with friends, some playing games, particularly Dota (What aspect of the game makes it addicting anyway?). It'll be great to see students doing internet research.

Well, for me, summer's just starting. In fact, I'm glad to have survived a summer vacation with nothing to do but study and study. Now that I'm in college, I don't feel any burden at all (except Monday and Wednesday evenings, because of our INTRPRG assignments).

I'll use five letters to describe what I feel now: E N N U I - which means boredom...

I'm bored! With nothing to do, I've played tons of games, surfed for hundreds of gadgets, and did a lot more than usual. I'll do my homework next...

I guess it's human instinct. When it's summer, students want to go back to school. When school starts, students want to have a vacation. The human mind is really perplexing.
