The most depressing thing to happen is wanting to sleep but not being able to do so.
And yes, I couldn’t sleep last night till about 3 or 4 in the morning, meaning I had only about 2-3 hours of sleep, max.

The One About Lack of Sleep
The One About End of Teaching (But Not End of Working)
So basically the schooling days for the secondary school is over for students and they are probably rejoicing for the holidays. Unfortunately, I still have to work. Not sure till end of November or December. If it’s half day works, I don’t mind as much. If it’s office hours, then darn.

The One About the Freaky Incident in School

There were too [...]

The One About First Day of Invigilating Exams
1.12 pm
It’s been 17 minutes since the exams started and already I am bored and sleepy.
However, I have long forgotten how quiet and serene it can be in a classroom (with students in it).
1.13 pm
