time flies..

Met some old school friends yesterday. We would hardly meet back home. It took 6000 miles and lots of planning to meet up. Caught up with some times. Time was when the thing i would worry most about was that too much cream doesnt fall into the milk. Time was when the most exciting thing of the week was when the football went into St Joseph's girls school next door and when coming back caught a glimpse of a pretty girl all with plaited hair and ponytails and ribbons. Time was when being popular was to lie and say you had a conversation with her. Time was when Father Sworas in his spotless white gown would walk up and down spurting wet globule missiles from his mouth onto us hapless students. When Father Mario would punish you by pulling the hair on the side of your head so hard that i owe my side locks to him today. When Mrs Tellis would scream so hard that somewhere in Japan little Japanese seismologists would huddle around and agree that Mt Fuji would erupt in the next 20 seconds. School was when every one of the 1200 odd students would cheer on the other 200 in any sport with such a fierce pride and vigour that if the energy were to be sucked in and captured in a bottle and then ignited by the back benchers famous farts it could blow up the whole of Korea included Chairman King Chu jong or whoever he is. When tomorrow was a distant future except when Mrs Samant decided to give homework. When all i wanted to do was to get out of school.


Today priorities have changed. I worry about too much water in my JD and my bosses name is not Mrs Tellis. No but seriously i could give anything to get back to school again.
