8:00 am
Tired faces slump in
Slowly pulling out their perfunctorily
done homework
The every day lecture

10:27 am
The never-ending continuum
Class after class
Paper after paper
Bell ringing leading to the next destination
Hallways like a freeway
Trying to merge into the flow of people

11:52 am
Time to let the beasts fuel their bellies
Tables as usual
Easy to tell who’s out of place
Everyone chatting socialably
Or in some cases, sitting in a corner alone

12:22 pm
Refreshed and ready for the second half
The second half like a thrilling football game
The game is almost over
The now energetic faces counting down the hours
Thinking of the “after 3” activities

1:07 pm
The normal thoughts of this hour
“What’s for dinner?”
“Should I study after I watch my show?”
“Yes! Practice gets done early!”
Pondering the rest of the day

2:21 pm
The last measly hour
Afternoon-drowsed bodies trying to concentrate on assignments
All minds have moved to non-related thoughts

3:00 pm
Equivalent to a jungle
Swiftly trying to make their way out of this everyday routine
Faces now awaken
The fun begins
