It’s been a while since I’ve seen the ocean

I dislike current events in all its form because they are a surefire way to get me depressed. Nothing good is ever in the news–just a whole lot of scandals about stupid humans who screw up their lives and the lives of millions of others. However, there was this one news item from a small tabloid that had me–and all the seniors at my school–practically jumping for joy.

It said there that our previous school nurse (who got fired in the middle of the last year) sued our nun principal because the nun claimed that the nurse faked her papers and wasn’t really a nurse. The nun also said a lot of un-Christian things to the nurse in front of the entire faculty during one meeting. The nurse got pissed and left, but none of us thought that she would actually take our principal to court until early this morning.

The hearing was held at 1 p.m. today, but nobody knows what happened. Naturally, we were all totally celebrating because nobody likes the principal much. She’s way too uptight and spends so much money on things like landscaping and shit, instead of improving more important things, such as the one and only bathroom shared by students from third grade until fourth-year high. And who knows–if things get bad, she might even get removed from her position. Summer could come very early this year. Of course, that was all just wishful thinking. She’ll probably just pay damages and get out of the whole mess without as much as a scratch. Oh well. It’s hardly the headlines, but at least my school is getting some publicity.

Another piece of good news I got is that my cousins from San Francisco are coming here on April! Yeah. We’ll all be going to Cebu for a week or so, and I can’t wait. I’ve only been away from it for two years, but I already miss the beaches in Cebu very much.
