School is always fun. No matter how much you’ve seen and will see me complain about how much school sucks, I do enjoy being there during the day. Of course I don’t want to go to school in the morning. A warm bed is just so much nicer then a cold bathroom floor or the starting of a new ice age which we dare call outside today. But as soon as I manage to lift myself up from my bed and into the shower I can honestly say that I look forward to another school day.
Reason why I enjoy it so much is because our class is fun to be in. I’ve been in a lot of schools in my life, a good seven of them I terrorized, but I can not recall any classroom where I had this much fun on a daily basis. It’s partially because of our relaxed teachers of course, who allow us to have our fun to a degree and sometimes even participate in the jokes and remarks we play on each other.
Today was another one of those days, starting with a two hour electrics class. Now, the particular teacher that teaches us electrics on Monday mornings is an absolute laughing stock. The guy has been a teacher for over twenty years and I’m sure he knows what he’s talking about but we never understand anything he’s talking about. That’s also because he’s a full grade electrics teacher teaching electrics to media students, which are two different branches with two different needs. He apparently thinks we already have some know-how about electrics while, in fact, we don’t. However that’s not the problem. The problem, and fun thing, is that he has no clue on how to keep the class under control. There’s always a lot of racket going on during his classes, people shouting, playing games on their cell phones (I even saw two people playing on their PSP’s today like it’s the most normal thing in the world during class) and just having regular conversations with each other. All the while this teacher is happily going on with his lesson, either ignoring everything that goes on around him or genuinly not knowing what to do about it, I don’t know. The best part of that class was when the class victim got a football to his head… twice. And it wasn’t even the act that was funny, it were the faces the guy made after the ball hit him. Looking around all surprised trying to figure out what just happened. The entire class just died of laughter right then and there. It’s bullying, I know, but it’s fun as long as I’m just a bystander, hehe.
The second two hour period was Computer Tech class. The guy wanted us to make a so called ‘moodboard’. Grab a bunch of images, throw them together in Microsoft Word and make a nice little page of pictu… wait what? Microsoft Word? Does this guy even KNOW how anoying that program is to insert images in?! I use Photoshop for anything remotely related to pictures. Word is for writing text.
Needless to say we found something better to do. After some random internet browsing we found a forum post where people were messing around with online help desk employees. Bank help desks in this case. Some of the chat logs were absolutely hilarious, ranging from name calling to serious conversations about investing in Iraqy factories. Following the example we went to the site of the bank in question and had some fun with the help desk ourselves. Hilarity ensued.
The final fun moment of the day was during our second electrics class, this time featuring our good electrics teacher (we have two). After some basic electrics math (U = I x R, P = U x I, any of this ring a bell?) our teacher started telling us a story about how he cheated his entire way through every school he had ever been on and why that was the reason he was better at teaching us electrics. You gotta love being taught by a teacher who cheated his own way through his education, there’s a strong sense of irony there. And while he did say that if we ever cheated we’d get an F by default, he’d applaud us if we managed to cheat undetected, since our dear old teacher knows every cheating method in the book. I’m tempted to try, but I don’t think I’ll mess with this guy ;).
