Hurry to school or the school
(1) After I had eaten a Tofu sandwich, I hurried to the school. (2) After I had eaten a Tofu sandwich, I hurried to school.
As far as I am concerned, the emphasis of the phrase "hurry to the school" is on the building itself and the emphasis of the phrase "hurry to school" is on the purpose of the mentioned building. But I am not sure which one sounds better or even correct. I think both are correct but I am not sure, thinking that one of them may be right.
Which one is correct? Could you help me clarify it? Thanks.
