Scandalous Scholastics

Well, I suppose I should explain the situation. On Day 6 and Day 1 on my school timetable I have so-called "study periods". A misnomer if there ever was one, I'll let you know. So today happened to be Day 1, and our "study period" happens to be in the last slot of classes for the day.

Unfortunately, we were not allocated a set classroom for this, so a few of the guys (myself included!!! yay!) started kicking around a soccer ball. After much fun and frolicking in the sun, our Dean stopped our joyous activity. Apparently we should have known better than to frolick, epecially since some of us had applied for leadership opportunities in the school (hangs in head in most total and desperate shame... *sad face... twice* ).

She, the Dean, then kindly removed possession of the ball from ourselves to herself in an act of what I'm sure will be seen by her as saving us from ourselves. But I don't see how that could or should apply to this situation. Hmmm... let me ponder...

So anyway, after a telling off, a pat on the back for good work and fair amount of time later, I was given the Most Noble Quest of Finding Hami. Indeed 'twas an honour. In my Quest I was joined by two loyal compatriots of whom I could trust. One, an applicant for the highest leadership level for blokes, the other, on a complete caffeine high. You ever seen "Over The Hedge"? That's what he was like, that Squirrel... actually, I think that Squirrel was named Hammy... let me check. HEY!!! It is!! What a co-inkidink! Actually, I don't believe in those... it's a CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!!

Moving along, the Applicant, Hammy, and Myself began our search for Hami by going through his usual haunts. Several building stories, some fast talking, a lot of confusion, a Geo teacher, and the school office later, we were unable to find him.

We had to report our not so successful Quest to our Dean, who only mildly tortured us for the failure, for which we are all grateful. We will live to see another day. What I am most upset about is that we did not find Hami. Because had we done so, the possibilities could have been endless!

Moral of the Story: Find a way to incorporate an Applicant and especially some one on a caffeine high into looking for Hami, as a Quest. Scandalous scholastics: it pays.
