Unaccountable Mood Plunge...

Today is yet another ordinary schooling Wednesday, still unable to overcome the lethargy within me. Set on my journey to school at a far later time than yesterday as I went to bed at around 1240am the night before. Was busy doin the Maths TYS in preparation for the coming Term Exams next week.
Lessons were mundane as usual with an exception of the GP lesson. We had the opportunity to watch a video on child pornography documented with an illegal organisation called "Wonderland Club" as the focus of the orbit of information. It was totally sick and inhuman. The members of the "Wonderland Club" were paedophiles from all over the world and they did nothing but plainly exchanging photos of abused children both physically and sexually. Yeap.. and it lasted for an estimated duration of an hour after which we had open discussions about the video. Haha.. and some of the remarks were rather comical. Alright, shall not dwell further into it.
After school, i was supposed to meet cheryl, janice, christopher and melvin before going for Maths tuition at 330pm. Cheryl and Chris came to meet me first, then we settled at the void deck for lunch while waiting for melvin and janice to come. Everyone was silent and i could feel a mild essence of sadness and impatience building up within me. Wonder what had caused such feelings to grow within me at that juncture. Cheryl was rather moody judged by her facial expressions and sealed lips. That was a rare event as she was usually bubbly and vocal. Later, Chris chanted out words that said "I don't feel like goin for tuition." The reason he gave was that he had a GP essay and lots of Chem homework to complete. This further aggravated my impatience and sense of emptiness. Janice soon came from her Econs consultation and we had lunch. The time we waited for melvin to come was seemingly the most protracted 30-40 mins in my entire life. Melvin was notorious for his busy schedule as he is the president of the Geog Society. An impromptu meeting like this, did not astound us.
After tuition, I hailed for a cab with the intention of reaching home as fast as i could, so that i could start studying at 830pm. In the cab, the driver chatted with me as if I had known him for a long time. He practically told me his life story of how he became from an average income working person to a mere pauper where he had to wear the same clothes for about 3-4 years. It was a rather touching life experience and only then, did i realise that I was very fortunate to have a worry-free life in terms of expenses. I paid him 9 dollars before i dropped off at my apartment block. I really revere him for being able to slog seven days a week to support his family,and by just living on a basic salary of $2000.
Alright, time to study. Cya..
