If you want to know how does it feel when time freezes, go and get seated in a classroom which is having the last class of the day. No matter what you're being taught in the last period, you feel like time is standing still. We're all waiting for that one thing : the bell to ring! So here's the 13th post under #LifeOfAStudent
Before I associate bells with Christmas trees or temples, I think of them as an important part of any school. The school officially begins with it and ends with it. They are inseparable in a way. Well the morning bell is actually something that most of us don't like very much. I don't like it because it used to be an indication that I have to head back to my own classroom and bid good-bye to my friends till we meet during the lunch break.
We hear the bell ring a number of times during the day. After each period gets over the bell rings. That's an indication that the period's over(finally!). If the teacher continues to teach after the class gets over, it can be very irritating. Students always like the teachers who leave the class room as soon as the bell rings(and also the ones who leave before). ;)
In class nine, we had the school bell just outside the classroom. And I swear, you don't want that. It used to startle us all everytime. Covering your ears with your hands was a natural instinct for anyone passing by our class(if the class was about to get over)! :P
We all wait for the bell to ring before lunch break. On certain days, however, time freezes before the lunch break too! I guess those are the days when you have just a glass of milk and cookies in the morning.
But, the most important bell is the dismissal bell which indicates that school's over(Yay!). But, it always seems to delay its arrival. In the last period(or any period for some of us), the minute hand moves only after every 5 minutes! I guess Shakespeare should have mentioned that time trots not only for an engaged woman before her marriage, but also for every student in the last period of the day! :P But, when it finally rings, everyone's happy!.
We also wait for the dismissal bell to ring on the day before vacations begin. We want the bell to ring but then we also don't. It's a funny feeling that every student understands. But, the moment the bell rings, the books are stuffed into the bag, the board is decorated with "Happy Vacations" written across it and drawings drawn all over it & everyone keeps going around the class to wish "Happy Vacations!!". Beautiful moments!
There is a bell that we perhaps dread. I am talking about the bell that rings to indicate that the writing time for your exam is over. When I was in 8th standard and was writing my final exams, we were seated with our seniors. I remember looking at the seniors' hands writing with as much speed they can gather. When the teacher would announce that just another 5 minutes are left, their hands would would appear to me like Bolt's legs while running a 100m race and I would be reminded of the reactions of the chefs on Master Chef Australia when Gary would announce that they've got only 5 minutes to plate up their dishes(And I am talking about a dish like the croquembouche ).
But, no one hates the bell that goes off at the end of the last exam! ;)
So, that's all for the 13th post! Good bye till the 14th post. Do comment your views and topics that you would like me to cover! Good night! :)
