Spectator Sport: Struggling.



The place was so crowded, full of people here and there. They were intriguing by all the experiments, presentations, and shows. People was discussing about how amazing Galileo was, how stunning Copernicus to know that the earth revolve around the sun, and how E=mc^2 can change the entire world. Yes, you're right...welcome, to the science fair.

In the science fair, I see nothing; "literally" nothing (from my five senses), but people crowded here and there. They were like schools of fish that were caught inside the net, trying to escape. The place was divided into multifarious sections: experimenting section, presenting sections, and other sections, which were way much more than I can observe for whole day.

Due to the fact that science is not so appealing to me, I went down to the food court to find something to eat. Guess what. It's even worse. The place is filling up like a night concert that Lady Gaga came (and trust me, I've been there...you wouldn't like the crowded people as much as the songs). Above the smell of the fries, tomatoes, potatoes – and all the foods you can name it, drifted the smell of sweats – musty, moldy, muggy – smelling like my dear old Mutt's feet. I saw people, tons of them queuing up, making them look like prisoners lining up to get their food.  Some of the people waited patiently, but some (who are unabashed and brazen), just barge in. Noises of people talking and laughing, strident utensils clanging—well, it’s just "noises" from everywhere pass through the air, right into my ears, and running through my nerves. “I can’t stand this anymore. I need peace and tranquility.” I thought to myself.

Wandering from restaurants, to restaurants, I found a perfect one, without people lining up. Feral (due to hunger) and fatigued, I ordered the food without even caring what it was. Now at this moment, I knew that I could just devour an entire whale!

After finishing my food, my tummy was fulfilled, which made me satiate. Then, I checked the clock. It’s 12:45pm. Thank God. The school bus is leaving at 1:00pm. With gratification, I excitedly paced myself to the bus. Well, I knew that I suffered so much today. But...I also knew that I wouldn’t be suffering anymore; I’m going home!
