hello. last night i had all my RS ethics revision planned; i was going to do it this morning before french reading. i packed all my highlighters and everything.

what did i do instead? we - nay, hannah, ticca and i all do DCS so we had no exams all morning. first, we went to assembly - we thought that i�d be fun. it was just as boring as i remembered. there wasn�t even a hymn, and the projector thing didn�t work. again. and the technician/weird hair guy had to fix it. again. except he couldn�t. it was a bit disappointing especially when it could have been my last assembly at this school.

we thought, �wouldn�t it be really cool to watch God, the Devil and Bob?� so we went to the RS office and pushed each other around. turns out no one was there. so we went to the head of RS� office in the geography corridor (which is really far away from the RS dept). the head of RS, btw, is the one who went on about the woman who had sex with the monkey.

on the way i took many photos of the school. we did more pushing around and walking past the room up to the point that he could actually hear us say �but i�m scared!� eventually hannah asked him. he was very nice and told us to go to the RS office and ask whoever was there.

so we went back. my RS teacher was there so i got nominated to ask her. i did and we got a tape with one episode of God, the Devil and Bob on it. alan cumming voices the Devil, did you know that? how cool. we watched it in shivani�s RS room.

it was finished half an hour later, so we went to my physics teacher, who has The Meaning of Life (Monty Python) on tape. apparently we watched a bit in a lesson, but i don�t remember, so i was probably doing my spanish oral or something. he didn�t have it, but said that he�d bring it in next year. useful. another physics teacher came in, the one denni and half the school has a crush on. the one with ugly ears. he�s like best friends with my physics teacher, so they talked and we left.

to the english department. they have lots of tapes. i wanted to see the one with keanu reeves (Much Ado About Nothing?), jenni (she came too) wanted to see Emma and none of us wanted to see A View from the Bridge (�shoirt skoirt!�) or Silas Marner. nay asked our english teacher. she went into the Room of Tapes and came out with Working Girl. �apparently it�s quite good,� she said. just what does Working Girl have to do with english?

harrison ford is in Working Girl, see, so i pointed out that i had just ordered an album named after him (weeeeeeeeee!). nay said that she liked the name �ben hales� but not �matt hales�. she said that �benjamin hales� sounds jewish. sorry, had to put that in.

we watched more Working Girl until we realised that a class was about to have a lesson in the (RS) room, so we took the tape and went downstairs to The Form Room. chess, mads and karen revised french at the top of the stairs.

there�s normally a TV in our form room, but not today, no. today it was in se�or�s room. so we waited for our form teacher to get out of the spanish lab. �el televisor no est� en mi aula?� no, so she let us use the lab.

minutes later, se�or comes in. he said something which included the verb �acabarse�. my spanish exams ended before half term, so i�ve forgotten all of it and stared at him stupidly as if i had no idea what he was saying, because i am stupid and had no idea what he was saying. turns out the televisor en su aula no funciona, so we packed up and went back to shivani�s RS room, which we were first in, which was surprisingly empty when a middle 5 PHSE lesson was supposed to be there.

after a while, some middle 5s came in. �we�re always late,� they say. we steal the TV and drag it to my RS room. we continue with the Girl who was Working. some more indeterminate time units later, my RS teacher came in. she has a lower 5 class. so we helped her put the desks in the horseshoe shape with lines of 6 around it.

then we went back to the spanish lab. everyone had gone so we finished watching Working Girl. it was nice.

then i had lunch and told everyone about my adventures in videoland.

then i did french reading. it was nice.

�i�m not steak. you can�t just order me.�
