Someday, The Elevators Could Work, The Question is "When?"

When the elevators of our faculty would work properly? No one knows, since we have been in the faculty of education round 4 semesters, the elevators don't operate and almost always in the end of every semester the authorities, or whomever it's in charge of this project dissapeared! also the workers that used to check them for the entire semester.

We wonder if someday we will use them.

While our dream come true, we have to go upstairs and I'm not talking about lazyness! but sometimes we need them.
