I came to the university on Monday morning with the appearance of a Kdrama male lead who was blurred, dizzy, and worn out. How could I not be? My eyes were open until 4 a.m. Ask me why again. It was because I was so busy thinking about Phum that my thoughts were scattered and I couldn't concentrate. I had to put down my paintbrush and walk out to smoke every five minutes. I'll probably get cancer before the work finishes. Plus, having slept for less than two hours, I had to wake up, take a shower, and get dressed to go to the university. I had a class at nine, but I had to leave the house at six to make it on time. Everyone knows how bad the traffic in Bangkok is. There is nothing in this world as pitiful as the life of a student in Thailand. I'm sad when I say that.

Arriving at the faculty, instead of getting a nap before the class started, I had to listen to Q complain until my ears went deaf. He asked me why I suddenly disappeared on the night of Loy Krathong, leaving only the car keys for him. At first, I was glad and thought my friend was concerned about me, but the more I listened, it wasn't the case. The reason he complained was because he had to endure listening to Toey babbling nonsense endlessly all alone, Q then blamed it on me for having to meet such a fate. If our friendships go sour like this, it seems like we should end it. 

We finished our morning class and gathered at the same old table under the shade of a Hu Kwang tree behind the Fine Arts Building. It's a place where we can unleash our madness without causing alarm among the general public. My university has a lot (and I mean a lot) of trees so it is shady and cool, especially our faculty building. Just a little more and we'll feel like we're living in the middle of a rainforest. Sometimes it feels like studying in a hermit's cave because it's so lonely and the trees are so dense. This place was a haven for troubled minds to come together. Next up is the Architecture Faculty, which isn't much different, in both the environment and student conditions.

And now, my friends are currently fighting over bananas to eat. They looked like the monkeys at The Monkey Buffet Festival. But the issue is not over a few bananas, it's a whole bunch. Where did they even get them from? I assume they took it from behind the old art building. Soon uncle security guard will come and slit your throat. You dared to eat the tool that was used to find the lucky number. You have been worshiping it!!!

[* The Monkey Buffet Festival is held annually at Phra Prang Sam Yod temple in Lopburi, Thailand. The festival included giving fruits and vegetables to the local monkeys.]

In addition to fighting over food, they even acted out how bananas are like the Krispy Kreme grand opening event, which was miserable. They line up for bananas one by one. Q transformed into a reporter holding the banana blossom as a microphone interviewing about their feelings.
