Second Week of School: A Real Fun and Sadness Too!

It's our second week of going to school. Of course my nervousness disappeared now. I can talk now with my classmates. I can mingle with them, but still there is the shyness to go with them and laugh with them all the time. I can say that this week there is improvement with my relationship with my classmates. I'm in the adjustment period.

This whole week is a real fun although I'm one of the cleaners in the room. Cleaning in the room is not a hard thing to do, but for me I am assigned in our CR. Our CR is dirty so we need to put muriatic acid. Last June 17 we decided to put muriatic acid in the bowl and in the floor. Because I'm scared that it will burn my skin, I asked my classmates who knows how to put muriatic acid. The one who volunteered is Karissa. She is very brave for me. What I'm doing is to cover her nose because the smell of the muriatic acid is very strong that it caused me headache. When it is already finished, Karissa felt something hot in her hand. She ran to the faucet outside and washed it. I just brought soap to her,. I'm very scared, I thought it burned her hand. thank God, it didn't. but still, her hand got red.

At Wednesday morning, I cleaned the CR. It's very dirty, color black. Ma'am Tolentino told me to scrub our drum in the CR cause it's really dirty. My uniform got dirty and then there's no water. OMG! I just asked Jenny and Karen to fetch water to clean the CR. Ordinary classes just past away and hard lessons are taught to us this week.

I remembered one time at Chemistry time, Ma'am Bisa is really very funny. She discussed about the impact of Chemistry our society and I really can't forget the one she said about grade one: "dikdik piga" and about the atomic bomb. I'm really laughing and laughing because of that.

At Friday, Ma'am Tolentino told us that she will not be our adviser anymore. I'm sad of course. I remembered the same happening last year when Ma'am Weng transfered also. I even cried because of Ma'am Weng. Why is that so? Ma'am de Vera is correct, in Science high school always expect for changes. As what they said: "Expect the unexpected". This week is a real fun and sadness too!
