2 Days In School Without AC

No AC, NO AC! In Singapore! These two days, Monday and Tuesday, we ran out of air conditioning at school. There were some problem with the compressor of the AC, the one that was connected to grade 7 and 8 classes, offices, and library. This one had some problems a few times before already. It has been making noises the week before. We can here the AC on the first floor from the second floor.

On Monday, I went to school, prepared my stuff. I went to homeroom class on the second floor, where most classes I go are on. And then, I thought "Why is it so hot in here?" I went out back to the corridor where the lockers are, and my classmate told me "No AC today. It's broken." Then I got it.

Monday, I went through the day without having any air conditioning. In the morning it was okay, the sun wasn't high up yet at homeroom, and I went to French for second period where there is AC. However, when I go back to Humanities, which is third period on Monday, I'm back with the heat again. It was starting to get hot but it was still okay. It's just, there wasn't wind going in the open window and the heat from the first two classes are stuck. PE was normal, actually better for that day. Go to gym where there is AC, and take a shower after class. Lunch was normal, too. Afterwards, I went to intramural where we did hockey. It was fun, but I had sweat all over my body. I went to class, and I guess, I've forgotten there wasn't AC, not until I was about to go in. I though "Oh yeah. Well,  hope there is AC". Answer is NO! I was soaked and hot and the classroom was even hotter than at the corridor. I couldn't stand it during science I had to stand up and move around. After Science, it was Math where there is big AC always, which is usually too cold for me. I expected it but then I realised... Luckily, it was drama next and it was nice and comfortable with suitable AC there. The last class which was LA (English) was as bad as Science. With all the heat from previous classes stuck in there, uh oh...

It was finally the end of school, and I went home quickly for shower.

Tuesday, which is today, I was wishing to have AC again. But sometimes, I mean usually, that is impossible. I immediately went into a classroom to see if there's AC today. Answer is NO! First period was IT/ Design, which was quite fun as we are 3D modelling using softwares. It was good as the sun wasn't high and we were the first class so the heat doesn't, you know... Next class, LA. It was really bad, I guess, it's because there wasn't fan in there, and, the location. The outside of LA class is not totally opened, so the heat doesn't leave. Drama was good, it was the best class for today. After drama, Math, WORSE OF THE DAY, I think it's because it's the last class, and it was afternoon. The whole time I was sitting there, listening, totally not willing to talk. When I was looking at the ebook, my hand was stuck on the trackpad, sticky. And I felt dizzy when I did the exercises. After Math, I went to the lockers and that was when I had a headache.

We were told there's some problems and it probably won't be fix in a short time. Now, I think AC's important. I hope there will be AC at school fast. At home, it's only a few people and the ceiling is higher and it's bigger, and there's fan, so no AC is okay. But here at school in Singapore, no...
