I Should Express Gratitude More Often

Well, I'll be starting school tomorrow. The irony of it is just unorthodox for someone like me who didn't really find past schooling experiences to be pleasant. Actually, I'm not prejudice against schools or anything of that sort of manner. Its just that, the school that I'm going to is a wee bit far from my place. Like my previous schools, transport was always a problem, courtesy of the remoteness of my neighborhood. Going to school never was a problem as my parents would usually spare some time of theirs to send me. However, coming back to school was. My previous school usually ended at around two o'clock in the afternoon. But the funny thing is that I'd usually be back home at around four-thirty in the evening. Why? Because my house is located in an area that is beyond the radar of any sort of public transportation. A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed by this guy, whom much to my surprise asked me a series of questions regarding school life. The following is part of the interview, based on my vague memorial recall;

Interviewer: So tell me, did you enjoy your time at school?
Me: Well yeah, I actually adored it a lot. But there was this one part that made the whole schooling experience seem unpalatable.
Interviewer: What might that be?
Me: Transport.
Interviewer: How so?
Me: Well, basically I reside in a rural jungle. I mean its not technically a jungle, its just that I'm using the jungle as a metaphor to signify inaccessibility by any means of public transport. Luckily for me, there was this bus driver who volunteered to send me to my very much isolated housing estate. But, before he could do so, there was this other bus driver that will send me to a specific location where that guy will pick me up from.
Interviewer: Well, that sounds like a hassle.
Me: It sure does.

Thus, if the interviewer thinks that my schooling life was a bit of a mess due to transportation reasons, then there is no absolute rationale why anyone else should think otherwise. But as I recall it, the distance from the school that I am about to attend tomorrow to my place is way further if compared relatively with the distances from my previous schools to my place. So, in a way I should be grateful of having attended schools that I felt was way further from my place but in actual fact was closer, if I were to compare it to the school that I am pending to go to. Apart from that, in a positive perspective, starting school again is really great in a sense; excluding everything that is related to transportation. One of my primary objective of going to school tomorrow is to salvage my mind from total obliteration, given the fact that I've been doing nothing much at home for the past three months or so that is mentally benefiting. In conclusion, I am really excited by the fact that I am starting school in ten hours time but the prospect of having another transportation dilemma is likely to commence again.
