  Non-classic Student in the Time of COVID-19

  He was struck suddenly by the massage, a life changing massage which indeed deconstructs his unwanted college life but also his entire plan of how to waste it. The massage is, with years process, the approval of major change request, which he actually had expected a deny because of his junior status. Since it happened, he suddenly lost his plan about next school year and the summer vacation between. As an international student, he was planing a summer school which becomes unnecessary now, and he is not sure how to do exactly. The thing is almost all of his friends returned home either by airplane or automobile and he really has nothing to do in such pandemic. "I guess I should go home." he tells himself repeatedly and finally buys an airline ticket without clue if it would be canceled which is frequent in pandemic. Now all he can do is waiting, waiting for the eradication of last COVID-19 virus, waiting for the lovely first class next year, waiting for the familiar room home next month, waiting for the ticket confirmation next week, waiting for the confidence in final next time, waiting for the salute of professor next lecture, waiting for the oil boiling next meal, and waiting for the sunshine next morning. He is doubting if life must be passive, and suddenly wind strikes curtain; he choose to shut the window, and the street lamps outside are still on.
