Class time with NextGens

I dreamt that I was together in a same classroom with my fellow nextgens. Our form teacher decided to bring us to this classroom and tell us to wait for a pleasant surprise. So we waited awhile and we begun to notice the windows outside showing a shimmering glow of light with colors of a rainbow. We started to edge ourselves closer to the front to get ourselves ready for a wonderful view that was waiting for us outside the window. People like kz, bp, Weisong had already readied themselves with their cameras, all taking test shots and changing the settings of their cameras like a pro while waiting for some really nice view to appear. I also took out my camera and waited. Then outside the windows, the clouds dispersed to reveal a sun which was happening to be in a eclipse, and it was nearing sunset as it hung low near the edge of the seas on the horizon. We all furiously took photos while the rest of the people just admired the view with awe. I saw that the classroom was having 4 random overlapping projector screens, those that were pulled down from the ceiling like blinds. I stood up and went forward to wind up the projector screens one by one, trying to wind up the screens so that we can get a better view of the amazing scenery. I spent a long time pulling up all screens. Finally after what seemed like 5 minutes, I was now pulling up the final screen at the front of the classroom. I pulled it up and to my disappointment, behind the screen are not more windows, but just a normal whiteboard. I suddenly felt like an idiot trying to act smart. The whole class saw that I was trying to keep the projector screens but none of them realized that I was doing that to reveal more windows. I quietly walked back to my seat and pretended nothing happened. After a while I can’t take it, so I shared my stupidity with Weisong, JJ, and some random classmates. Halfway I realized Archana was listening so I continued my story in English. Before I can finish my story, the teacher announced that it’s time to resume class so everyone went back to their seats for class. Some classmates went around distributing ring folders belonging to us for the lessons. Inside my folder contained all my homework and some marked test papers. I flipped the pages in my folder and saw some pages of comics drawn by me and some pages containing cut-outs of Taeyeon from magazines articles. I showed Suzzie as she was seated beside me and she laughed at me. Overall it was a fun class experience.
