a day in the life
a day in the life... a humourous parody of a GGS student's daily routine written by ruby casey and eliza frazer
4:30AM the fire alarm goes off.
4:40AM exhaustion level: 100%. Note to self: rethink life choices up to this moment
4:50AM still waiting for the trucks to come, and its ICE COOOOOLD
4:55AM put fire trucks on snap story: caption 'fml', featuring photo of the hottest fireman
5:00AM punish the fourthies for burning spring rolls at 4:00am, hence, setting the alarm off
5:55AM back to bed we go; dream sweet dreams of who would win Squid Game at our school
7:30AM the heavens have been summoned when the bell rings or the T.O.D serenades a wake up call: another day, another opportunity to rise and grind
8:30AM discuss the meaning of life with our mentor, or rather, gather to hear who has to take the bins out that week
8:55AM commence class. occasional stare out the window, paired with a debate of whether this work actually needs to be done. eventually decides to put it off until due date arrives
9:00AM the garbage truck rolls by the beehives, which somehow isn’t as annoying as listening tothe rowing stories from the previous evening 10:40AM smoko time!! time to whip up the most gourmet snack in twenty minutes with only bread and butter before realising class started 3 minutes ago
12:55PM finally made it to lunch, praying that it’s your year levels turn to get in to avoid waiting an eternity in the torrential rain to get fed before making it to that “lunch time tute”
3:37PM hanging on by a thread, longing for the teacher to let you out a few minutes early. instead told to “hang tight” and “wait to be dismissed” for the longest three minutes of one’s life
3:40PM class=over. the thought then arises as to which excuse should be used for not going to sport today, which is soon replaced with realisation that getting marked AWOL will be worse than actually going 5:30PM the guessing game begins: what foreign meat will be for dinner tonight?
6:50PM slog to roll call, well and truly aware 2 hrs of procrastination is about to begin.
7:01PM oh sh!t, its already 7.01! I guess I have to start prep at 7.15 now...
9:00PM time to catch up with friends (maybe try see the sneaky link before go on alarms?)
9:30PM time to get tucked into the sheets and rest our weary bodies (or is it??)
