Even though I was categorized as sort of a good student in my teachers’ mind, or even when I had no particular trouble at school, I sometimes, or maybe often, or even always, hated going to school.

The longer holidays mean the longer sickness. Our public schools’ summer recess in many areas in Japan, except colleges, are from late July to the end of August. I often started feeling blue in the late August. 😛
