#2: Free Periods and Barefoot Basketball...

Today in school, we (or rather I) spent one period out of nine in class. And of course, that one period was English, so that isn't, strictly speaking class, as such. With my dropping math, and all, I ended up making even 11 Commerce pretty jealous...

So anyway, how did we spend these free periods? When we weren't  reading (and cringing at) an old Ripley's Believe it or Not! in the library, we were playing baksetball (barefoot, of course. I think our feet are going to become as tough as Hobbit or Amish feet soon) tournaments. Rather more productive way of playing, we found it. Something about the competition makes it all the more interesting. Or is it because, this way, I finally get to actually dribble of the ball? Either way, we performed admirably, coming 3rd out of three.


Apparently, going barefoot is extremely healthy. So thank God for the new rule stating that black shoes are bad for the basketball court. I would enjoy being a member of that school of thought, if I didn't live in a country where every second step means dogshit or human urine. Right place, right time, i think is the key.

We also played football with 12-year-olds. Rather fun(ny). Mind you, not like 12-year-olds! With Kevin Joseph (Corbett House), I think we have a reasonable shot at Tri-FAPS next year. On the other hand, that spells terrible news for Gidney House football next year. As if it isn't bad enough already.

So tomorrow's a holiday? This is the saddest I've been about not going to school.

However, that also means there's going to be an unofficial long weekend. That means no teachers on Friday too! Hurrah!
