Exams coming?
The weather is simply rotten these days. Sunny, windy, not a hint of rain anywhere—the tank in the back is getting seriously depleted. Not really, of course. It’s only been sunny a couple of days, and it’s a 600-or-so gallon tank. In any case, though, I hope the monsoon brings more rain my way. It is still supposed to be monsoon season, after all.
I just consolidated my status as English King of the Class with yet another A in an English subject. I think I may have gloated a little too much, though: the charitable classmate may not be feeling quite so charitable towards me for another day or so (she got about 10 marks less than I did, and I’m afraid I rubbed it in a little too much. Same goes for Kelvin and the Pig, etc; I got the highest marks in the class, and like Herr Robson, I rubbed it in well).
Speaking of Herr Robson, we got a form yesterday to fill in. There was a section to fill in with ‘Contributions You Made to the School’, and he filled it in with—you’ll never guess—all 24 of the certificates he has at home! (I know he has 24 because he rubs it in.) I’m not sure about that, though; there probably wouldn’t be enough space on the form. I myself wrote very little there; apart from a few competitions here and there, I have not contributed much to the school, except when I donated about 10 cents for the new school building’s construction.
And I went to a German restaurant the other day. (No, Herr Robson, stop drooling. I did not paper bag anything for you.) It’s run by an old German (duh) and serves pretty good food. And if you go between 6.30 and 7.30, you get free refills!! (I didn’t, though.) Anyway, the food was great, and so were the prices. It wasn’t too expensive, and the portions were huge. As in sausages the diameter of my wrist, steaks thicker than a ruler is long, and salads so good my family finished it all (not that there was much left to finish). I’d like to go back someday, but I’m afraid my digestive system won’t take the strain. Or my pocketbook.
Oh, btw, exams are due in about 3 weeks. That's probably why nobody I know is ever online anymore, except for the Pig and a few of his cronies. (They just got hooked on RO.)
