School Life
You enter it full of noise; you leave it quiet.
classroom
You start it when you have time, you finish it when time runs out.
homework
You never have enough of it in the morning but too much of it during class.
time
They talk to you in class and for you when you're absent.
your friends
It rings so you can rest, and again so you can't.
bell
When it's early, everyone's chatting; when it's late, everyone's staring at the clock.
last period
You understand it perfectly during class - and forget half of it the next day.
class notes
lt happens once a day but never feels the same twice.
lunch
When you fail, they stay; when you succeed, they celebrate.
true friends
You do it after class, but only the next day decides how well you did it.
revision (or homework)
If it's locked, class doesn't start; if it's open, you know the teacher's inside.
classroom door
The earlier you begin, the easier it feels; the later you start, the harder it gets.
studying
When you rush, it slows down; when you're bored, it lasts forever.
time or class period
You can lose it with one message but rebuild it only with time.
trust
If you forget it once, you run; if you forget it twice, you're in trouble.
being late
It's checked when you're late, signed when you're sick, and sometimes faked by your friend.
attendance sheet
If you share it, it loses its value, if you keep it, it earns you marks.
answer
You can't see it or hold it, but it decides when you rest and when you rise.
routine
Everyone has one, but no two are the same.
reputation (or personality
You can skip one and still be fine, but skip many and you fall behind.
lesson
It's not a test or an assignment, but it still decides your reputation in class.
participation
It doesn't change what you know - only how you show it.
exam technique
It's what everyone wants more of, but when given freely, most people waste it.
free time
It spreads faster than news, changes faster than facts, and disappears when asked about.
rumor
It's not written in any rulebook, but everyone knows exactly when to pack up.
