Tomorrow is Holy Thursday, a day before Good Friday. It's actually a day i quite look forward to, because that's when my parents and i almost without fail go on our annual 'pilgrimage' around Malacca City. The so-called pilgrimage has the same schedule each year: mass at St Francis', dinner somewhere without meat (=( ), adoration at St Peter's, then back to St Francis' for Holy Hour, by which i'd usually be wishing i had toothpicks to force my eyes open.
Perhaps i'd gotten used to the fact that SFI takes a day off on Good Friday. But since coming to INTEC, holidays, let alone Christian-related ones, have been very hard to come by indeed. This year however, i'd be throwing caution and my German, Ethics, and half of Mechanics classes to the winds and go back home in time not only for Holy Thursday mass, but also hopefully for a nice long nap in my much-missed aircon room. Ahhhhhhhhhh. (seriously, somebody should start controlling the weather in Shah Alam, it's far too hot for habitation)
Surprisingly, my lecturers don't really mind me skipping class. *
OK, before you start going 'WHAAAT but i thought u're in a college!', let me remind you that i am in INTEC. A government centre. A close relative of UiTM, both in distance and ideologies. Hence, i feel more comfortable by calling it a school rather than a college, for numerous aspects of it uncannily and regrettably resemble those of a school.
*I'm not a teacher's pet and three quarters of my exercise books are spotlessly clean. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that i -unlike a few of my classmate, say, 13 of them - make it to school at least once a week. For the record, my attendance is quite commendable, lol. Perhaps that's why the lecturers turn a blind eye and, as in the case of my Chemistry lecturer, mark me "absent with permission" even though i admitted i felt too lazy to drag my ass out of bed that day. Mmmh it's little things like that that make life worthwhile, eh?
After all, my Mechanics lecturer did shoo me out of class last week for my excellent grades. XD
