* I had to right this as soon as I got home. The blog entries for Buwan ng Wika will be written tomorrow. :)

I squeezed myself through the screen gate of Veritas Parochial School. I didn't want to harm anyone, I just wanted to find a dry palce where I could stay until the rain lifts up.

But maybe staying outside and the possibility of being caught in the flood and it's current would have been a much better decision that the one I made.

When I finally got in the school, I was met with screams of the students. Students which I have deduced were high school students.

Some I saw stood on their seats while others screamed. This weren't just girls but i saw boys too.

Well what else could a rat do in the particular situation. Ofcourse only one thing and that is run.

I ran till I reached a multi-colored floor. it was next to the wall. I stopped for a while figuring out what to do next then I saw a man with a dustpan in hand.

He forced me to it using the wall and a plastic bottle. At first I didn't want to, I tried to climb up the dustpan's handle but couldn't because he steadied me with the bottle.

In the end it turned up alright. After my misshap in the school, and dealt with screaming students, I finally found a dry place to stay.

Hahaha. I made a story. I'm not sure what happened to the rat after it was captured by the janitor but I hoped it found a nice place to stay until the rain stops.

It was raining hard at our dismissal today August 26, 2008 at 4. So hard the floods began to trap us inside.

So I waited at out cafeteria with the other high school students because the elementary were dismissed earlier.

Honestly, the students screamed their lungs out in the cafeteria this afternoon at around 4 because of the rat.

I know its a sewer rat because of it's size and color. Big and Black.

It was fun actually.

Martin and I were talking when Niko a freshmen, said that their was a rat near the old gate. So at first we were like ok no big deal.

But it was a big deal because the rat found a way inside. I studied the scene after the incident. It chewed a hole in the gate's screen and that's how it got in.

When the rat finally got inside, screamed were heard. Some stood on their seats. Martin and I remained seated in ours. Martin even said, "Tingnan natin."

So we stood up and saw the rat cornered on the wall. It fought but still it was captured.

Then the students regained their composure and started talking again with one another.

It was actually pretty funny.

"This is the best day of my entire life."

I quoted my classmate. He said this last August 20, 2008 at 11 a.m. when our adviser, Ms. A told us that classes are suspended from 12 noon onwards.

Alright maybe I exaggerated what he really said but the meaning is the same because when Ms. A told us about the suspension we all exclaimed in delight!.

Now I reminisce.

Suspenison of classes is a rare thing especially if it happens when your already in school and half the day is over.

It's fun actually when the teacher announces it. Because the second it leaves her mouth the shouts of joys and delight drown her other words.

I remember when I was a 5th Grader in myschool and I remember we were having our English class with Ms. Jo and then the school administrator called her out of our classroom byt hen we already knew what she was about to say when we heard the screams of the other class.

Suspension of classes is much more fun when your in elementary and in high school than when it is in college. And in college, it doesn't happen that often that in the elementary and high school department.

We were practicing in the gymnasium of our school when Ms. A told us about the weather and we just got out of control with joy.

Not that I hate school but a little bit of rest and relaxation was very much needed because of the previous weeks test.

Whew.
