a school full of strangers;))



Yahoo! Summer is near, it means that school days will end soon.


After almost 10 months I've spent in my new school (actually, i am a transferee in my school today), school will end. It looks like it happened in a single blink of an eye. My first day in my new school was so frustrating for me. Why? First, I don't know everybody my the room. They are all strangers for me. Second, I am a shy-type person. I mean, it's a little bit hard for me to be friends with others. Third, there's one question always flash in my mind: "Who can be my companion when I go to canteen or comfort room?". Actually, I am a kind of person who hates being alone. Every time it happens to me, I'm starting
to be emotional and kinda sad.

I know it's a "tradition" that in first two to three days of school there will be a self-introduction.
I really hated that! It is my weakness--- to stand and talk infront of crowd but I need
to do it.

After introducing ourselves, I knew that I was not the only one who is a transferee. I thought we
are 10 of them. Then, i knew that we are 80+ students in the room! Hmmm... "Will I be able to know
all of their names? Whoah! Maybe it will take a couple of months to know all their names", I said
to myself.

I can't believe myself that I can mingle with "strangers". Some of them were my friends in just a simple smiles, thoughtful hellos and crazy talks.
In my new school, I experienced cleaning the room, applying floorwaxes, sweeping the floor,
throwing trash bags, crowded classroom, hot room temperature, copying assignments, gossips,
love teams, teachers' sermons, sleepy disease;), "can I have paper" lines of classmates every time we
have quizzes, soundtrip if we don't have teachers. These are the things I've never experienced in
my old school. In my old school, we dont have to clean the classroom bacause we have janitors, we have
cozy feeling because we have airconditioners and we don't have crowded classroom because we
are only 30 students & we have a room big enough for us.

My old & new school have many differences. So I call it, "experience". I encounter different experiences
in my old school from my new school.

Eventhough I have crazy, worst & embarassing moments in my new school, I will never forget it.
Especially my classmates, they've showed me different kinds of attitudes to accept & overcome. I will also
not forget my close friends. And I will never ever forget all the bonding moments we have shared.
For sure, will miss them when summer comes. In summer, projects, homeworks, activities, boring class
discussion & non-stop sermons of our teacher will end but i do hope that friendship will not end. :)
