"You guys know that game Tetrix? The one where there's pieces falling and you have to place them?"

ㅤㅤ- The computer teacher.

MONDAY 04/03

ㅤㅤIn English class, the teacher walked us to the library to get our didactic books. I don't know if it's because of the way some of my previous teachers used them, but I don't really like didactic books. Some of them just don't explain certain things in an easily understandable way, although I never really had the tendency to read through them. I particularly like the way the chemistry book I borrowed prior is structured though, it explains things in simple and understandable ways. But it could also be me being picky.

ㅤㅤAt History class, the teacher explained us about the Psychology room of the school, which was where people could go to play chess, instruments and draw. Once she mentioned that, I was already pretty interested in going to that room, but she explained that the art supplies they had were basic things like crayons and colored pencils. I was still excited about the music part though. She later walked us to the room, where we were greeted by her husband, the Chess and Music teacher. He explained the purpose of the room and the activities made in it, along side showing the trophies the school won in chess tournaments and I now feel bad for not liking chess… Some of my classmates and the teacher adore chess and make it very noticeable. I probably don't like chess because I'm terrible at it, because I'm always not noticing thing and fail to properly plan things because I'm the best when in comes to paying attention and then the teacher said that one of the benefits of playing chess is that it helps enhancing attention, which made me feel even worse for not liking chess. Sometime after, the teacher allowed everyone to stay and play chess or leave and roughly 80% of the class left. I stayed, not because I wanted to play chess, but rather because I wanted to try the guitars they had… although I waited until the match between one of my classmates, which is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, and the Chess teacher, as I didn't want to bother them. After they tied, I tried out of the guitars and I, somehow, don't seem to be that bad at it. What I mean by that, it didn't sound like puke. The teacher them informed me about guitar classes I could attend and gave me his number so I could send my information and he inform me about the next day's class. I had, for a long time now, wanted to learn to play the bass and, since the guitar is similar to the bass in terms of how to play, I thought it would be a good idea for me to learn the guitar. So I tried messaging him later that night, but he end up giving me the wrong number…

TUESDAY 05/03

ㅤㅤI went to the Psychology room again at evening recess so I could inform the teacher that he gave me the wrong number and give him the info he asked for. Aside from that, he taught me how to play my first chord… which I instantly forgot how to play once I left the room. When he dismissed me, he also asked me to send him music that I listen to so he could understand my taste… honestly, I want to understand too.

ㅤㅤI left the Psychology room a few minutes after recess ended and Art class started and that made me get scolded by 2 of the school supervisors.

WEDNESDAY 06/03

ㅤㅤI had 2 assignments due the next day, so I brought my aunt's laptop to school in order to finish them, as I would be almost all morning and evening at school. I got the idea from one of my classmates, which brings a laptop to school everyday. He even got a Victory Royale using the school's wifi last week.

ㅤㅤDespite the 2 assignments I had to finish that were due the very next day, I went to the Psychology room again for Music class. One of the expert students even taught me 2 more chords… If you were to give me a guitar and ask me to play those 2 chords, you'd be left with only disappointment.

ㅤㅤIn Portuguese class, the teacher gave us an assignment. But not any assignment, a group assignment,

where each group was randomly picked,

with randomly picked topics

and it has to be presented in front of the class.

THURSDAY 07/03

ㅤㅤThe Math teacher was absent this day and we'd have gotten a free class if it wasn't for the exercises we were given to do in his class.

ㅤㅤBut prior to that, I went to the Psychology room for Music class, but was met with Chess class. Despite not being there for chess, I stayed and accepted the teacher's invitation to play a match with him. He was not only teaching while playing, but he was also playing against 7 people at once while commenting on the matches he thought had something worth mentioning. The only time he commented about our match was when he threatened my king, forcing me to move it, but with the intention to take my last bishop… Despite playing against multiple people at once, he won against me, which isn't actually something hard to do.

FRIDAY 08/03

ㅤㅤThe Math teacher was absent again, but this time we were told to go to the auditory for a presentation. The presentation was about some basic stuff, like how you should not be jumping the school's fence and leave, but also informing how the cafeteria will now use QR codes to grand acess to students. It's been used for a few days now, but I didn't noticed, as I wasn't going to the cafeteria, but some of my classmates commented about how quickly getting into the cafeteria has become, as they didn't needed to type in a code anymore. Afte the presentation ended, I personally asked about the school games, as the listings were already happening, and the way it works is quite similar to how it happened last year in my old school, where you had to participate in trainings and later be chosen to represent the school. Although I later learned that the game's were going to happen during classes, so I kinda didn't felt like it was a good idea to participate, except I already signed in, so I guess I now gotta hope that I don't get selected.

ㅤㅤAfter Geography class, I was actually able to show my webcomic to the teacher. He asked me a few questions about it and then asked if he could read it later and I allowed, no clue why I did that though. And now the number of teachers that know about my webcomic is… 2… 2 teachers know about it.

ㅤㅤIn Physics class, the teacher has been mentioning about a monitoring thingy, that students could sign up to, for the past few weeks, but this time she mentioned that listings were already opened. I wasn't slightly interested, both because I didn't know what it was and that I felt like I wouldn't be a good Physics monitor, but them she mentioned that you could win money being one. I later asked her more info about it and she explained how it mostly involved giving classes to people who are struggling on the subject during launch hours. I'm not that good at teaching, but the money involved kinda got me a little bit interested. I mean, I was already studying there for free and on top of that I could be earning money? I'm still unsure of what being a Physics monitor exactly is, but I've been really thinking if I should apply to try becoming one.

ㅤㅤA few hours later, I went to the cafeteria expecting after school launch, but they were already giving dinner. Anyone was allowed to enter the cafeteria at that time and the school just makes such good food. It was legitimately the best spaghetti I've ever eaten.
