Let’s take a look at the time. Splendid! Only 5 minutes had passed, 55 more to
go! Unlike the boring physics class, this time I could not sleep. Maybe I could take

out my mobile phone and watch some videos to pass the time. Marvellous! There
was no signal underground! Another 5 minutes passed and the train was now
above ground. Fantastic! But wait, a new notififf cation popped up, “New

assignment frff om maths teacher in Google Classroom”, ugh, how exciting!

As the number of passengers slowly decreased, I eventually foff und a seat. I sat

down and unknowingly created a pool of water frff om my pants, but we were
taught to be gratefuff l. Yes, of course. Incredibly gratefuff l I was, with clothes to

wear and a roof over my head, at precisely the wrong time.

My suffff eff ring ended at sunset when I fiff nally arrived home to a warmmm ssshhhoweeerrr

and got into clean clothes. I was all clean, and all I had leftff to cleeeaaannn ttthennn wwwere my
bags, umbrella, shoes and a list of homework. Indeed, retuuurrrnnniiinggg hhhooommme made me so

much more relaxed. Aftff er fiff nishing all those chorreesss,, I ssstttaaarted becoming drowsy
and decided to take my long-awaited nap onn mmyy ccoomfyff bed.

“Comee down to eat! Youu hhaavvee ttuition classes in an hour!”

“So guys, wwhhaatt time do you want to discuss the presentation?”

I tthhoouught a ddaayy oonnly had 24 hours. Apparently not.
