And back to school again

So today, i woke up at 6:15, went to the washroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and got dressed to go to school. Back to the morning routine of boring school days. But anyways, holidays were starting to get boring.

I got to school at 7:15 and boy, oh boy was i happy to be back. For some reason, the thought of going back to school was making me feel excited for the past couple of weeks. Maybe it's because there's practically nothing to do here in Amman except being a lazy couch potato and watching movies all day long. And then everyone starts watching Noor. But that's a whole different story. Stupid Noor. A complete waste of an hour.
It was surprising though to see that so many of the teachers have changed. That's how it is in the Islamic Educational College: They got top teachers of the highest caliber and with good experience, who later demand a raise but the school refuses to give them more money. I wonder how many good teachers we have lost because of that awful reason. Too many good teachers get replaced by beginners who know nothing or fairly little.
There's also the matter of the "new & improved uniform". Other than the fact that it looks horrible and just like the clothes that Carrefour and Safeway employees wear (some shade of light blue) we're not supposed to be in school without it (whoever doesnt wear a uniform gets kicked out). Now that's not the problem. The problem is that i went twice to the school to buy a uniform only to be told that they're out of shirts of my size. So naturally, i go to school without a uniform and i got told off for not waring one. And when i wanted to go buy one from the main office, they wouldn't let me go. I don't know what they're expecting of me! So today i went to school after school to prchase a uniform but then again, they didn't have any of my size. I don't know how the guy managed to pull out 2 shirts for me from out of nowhere. Oh well, at least i got something to wear for tomorrow!
And there's also the fact that they have reconstructed the school so much for some reason without even making a new field for us to play soccer in. We still use the preschool field.
But enough complaining, all in all the school was good. At least im not a lazy couch potato anymore.

hmm, I asked the girls, its the same problem here, boys play in the preschool field and it turned out I confused the girl's field with the preschool one which is half a regular field.
