Back into routine: skipping English class.

I have returned from my nerd camp and am sadly back at school, trying to adjust myself to routine again. So, what better why to do this then embark on one of my least challenging ventures: skipping English class. I, having not attended in almost a month due to an array of interruptions such as school holidays and nerd camp, had forgotten about how raucous and dense my class is. So, like a good nerd, I arrived to class on time and got my books ready for one hour of enlightened and engaging learning. Five minutes later, when the bulk of my class arrived, I realised there was no chance of this ever occurring within the paper-thin collapsible walls of that room. I took others walking in as my cue to leave, packed up my bag and entered the main area of the VCE centre, and asked to borrow a laptop under the guise of needing to finish an essay which I have no intention of even starting in the near future. I had an exciting conversation with the laptop lady, who I have been afraid of since year seven, as she now recognises me because I ask to borrow laptops so often in lieu of going to English class.



So, right now, I am blogging instead of doing that essay I used as an excuse to borrow this laptop. I am located not too far away from my English class, and if it was any other class I would not be able to hear them. But, considering their loud and hyperactive tendencies, I can clearly hear cuss words and exclamations being shouted. And that's them being quiet.



It's period two on a Monday morning, and my first day at school in several weeks, and I am already sick of it. I am also quite distraught as the school blocks Facebook access, and their access denied message could do with a serious grammar check. And to make things worse, I had to stare at their grammatical assault for a good few minutes to wait for the browser to stop being frozen, which seems to happen far too often for my liking. If the computer that I have at home is better than the ones at school, it's a sure sign they have huge funding problems.

In my last blog entry a week ago, I promised that I would return from nerd camp with interesting stories of delicious nerdiness. While I have a multitude of stories, they probably aren't funny to anyone except myself. But, that won't stop me from telling anyone who will listen. Unfortunately this suffices for a blog entry for today, so, tomorrow, be prepared for some serious boredom about things that happened that you could not care less about- it will be awesome.
