Hi, Florissant! Hi, AjakaNish! Again, pardon me for the late reply. Time difference, you know;-). Well, not in Ajaka and my case, but you get it, right?

You really have it difficult there, Gou. 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.? 10 hours of school! No matter how you look at it, it is torture.

When I was in school (now I'm in college), it was 7: 30 a.m. to 1: 30 p.m. Mon-fri or sometimes, even Saturday. In summers and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. In winters. It took 10-15 minutes usually on the way to and fro. After that, it was tuition from 4 p.m. to 7/8/8:30 p.m. The tuition routine did not decrease until i was in 11th grade which in France is… 2éme(?). As I started 11th, the duration of tuition got reduced to an hour or an hour and a half at most. We, too, are not allowed to brings phones or any other accessories to school. The student council used to do surprise searches, when I used to go to school (I think it still happens). I used to laugh at what kind of stuff used to get caught all the time. Concealers, eyeliners, foundations, whole makeup kits that girls used to bring! You name it! The guys usually got caught with phones and such. Once, a guy was caught with a knife in his possession. The strictness level at my school was over 9000!!!

Now, I'm in college and thankfully I don't have to attend it every single day. The timing for college are 8-8:30 a.m to 11:30 a.m. But, I do have to study really much at home, now that those guys at the head-office have finally sent me the study material. *weeps in joy*.

As for the teachers? They cared when we were in school, but cared lesser as we climbed grades. Now, in college, they really don't care. Even if you were talking loudly in the class or outright sleeping and snoring lightly, they wouldn't bat an eyelash. They're just come, read something out of the books and/or write on the board, then after an hour or so, they leave.

Nowadays, I have  to wake up really early. Around 4:30 a.m., so I am not able to stay up late to be much active here and talk with you all 😭. But, I'm usually free in the morning and evening.

So, Ajaka! How's yours?
