Locker Debacle

This week is turning out to be considerably more tiring than I first thought. What with the international evening over with and not a lot of homework, I really should be feeling relaxed. Instead, I feel as if my head could crack open, like an egg.

Because of the miniscule sizes of our lockers, my friend and I found a locker that was luckily empty and put our bulky things in it, like our PE bags. Today, a lock was put on that locker.

So we went to mr. C, to ask if he removed anything from the lockers. He said no, and gave us a sign that said "This locker does not belong to you. Please remove all belongings from here - Mr. C" to stick on that locker. But the thing was that the locker wasn't ours at all! So we headed to the secondary office.

There, we told the lady that we had "lost" our things from "our" locker. She looked at us pointedly. Then promptly asked for my name. We were so busted, when my locker combination didn't fit the one we were trying to find out about. But she jerked her hand to the room next door and there lay our PE bags and jacket!! :D We were so giddy, and were excited as we went back to the lockers, flushed with adrenaline.
The thing is, if the school actually purchaised bigger lockers, we wouldn't have such a problem. It's so unfair that some have these insy-winsy lockers while others have gigantic ones that are more than twice the size of ours'! I wish the selfish teachers will begin to see that we students are not to be ignored and that we don't have a roomy and comfortable office to go to.

They think our generation has it easy. But guess what? It's far from that. We are soon going to be forced with the extreme problems of global warming, animal extinction and the increasing amount of violence in this world. They think we are spoiled, idiotic and ungrateful brats. But I wonder if they were any better. Teachers think that have all the authority and they shout at us to respect them. But hasn't anyone told them that respect has to be earned?
