summer transformation

Posted on April 11, 2008

I’ve always been amazed at how the school transforms into a boisterous and rambunctious venue during most of the school year from an almost gloomy and dusty place during summer. I’m just pointing it out now because I had a chance to look around the school again this afternoon.

Devoid of teachers because of the summer break, even the faculty lounge now seems so forgotten. Dust has started to settle on the bookshelves. Some of the computers are also starting to adorn cobwebs while most of the CAT6 cables lie scattered on the floor. It almost seems like a vivid testament of the chaos and panic that happened before the school year ended.

And yet, all these will re-organized, restructured and cleaned again once the bell signals the start of the next school year. From a gloomy place, the faculty lounge will once again be filled with voices of teachers pouring out their frustrations over coffee or sharing funny stories of mishaps and bloopers.

It’s an amazing transformation, but I guess that’s just how it is for any school! Oh well! It’s just another one of those things I would never expect from the corporate world!
