I miss...

Junior high.

Yes, I really miss junior high.

So I was just scrolling through Instagram just the other minute, and I saw pictures of my juniors and it all suddenly reminded me of how I used to see them everyday, on a daily basis. Seeing them walk through those very halls and me, just minding my own business as I walk there, too.

I miss that feeling of wearing my junior high uniform. The green of the batik and the white skirt and all. I miss opening my lovely class' (Hafsah's) door and feeling the rug on my feet and seeing my friends laughing about and doing silly stuff. I miss the feeling of confusion as I tried to understand Bu Rusmini's explanation on a new chapter of the lesson (math). Hmm... no. I don't miss that feeling, actually.

I know this is all sudden, which makes the urge to write this down on my blog a sudden urge too, but... high school's been such a... shock(?) to me, I think? (I still cannot find the right words to describe it.)

Things are so much more complicated right now. Assignments and lessons are more complex. My teachers say that we get heaps of homework because that way we could get used to it and in the end we wouldn't be so petrified with college-related errands. I agree with them, but some of my friends think that the assignments are hitting us too hard on the butt. I try not to make it such a big deal (not to make it a small deal, but I'm the laid-back type yknow), but the more that I think about it, yes, it is a lot and there isn't that much time to accomplish it. But wait. Maybe there is time to do the homework that are given and submit them in time, and maybe all we need to do is defeat our laziness and try to make procrastination our enemy.

Right now I'm not really sure how that's gonna happen; but... I guess that it wouldn't hurt to try.
