Once more unto the breach...

The first day of school. Despite this being the 13th time, the joy of coming back to school never seems to disappear. Then you realise that all the work you were supposed to do during the holidays haven't been done and panic ensures. Right now, I'm up to chapter 24-ish of the 50 or so Emma study questions and I've just taken a one hour break. I'm not sure whether I should keep going or just leave it there. It's been quite easy though, so I guess I'll push on, get as many done as possible. Our new physics teacher Mr Fearnside is kinda cool in a way. I'm guessing he will be one of the stricter teachers but the way he drops a few jokes here and there, I guess he'll be alright.

One of the funnier things that happened on the first day of school occured during Chemistry. Ms Singh was passing out sheets. I took two sheets for me and Hao, and there was one one sheet remaining, but there was still Deborah, Land and Shuai. So I tapped Land on the shoulder and passed the sheet, saying "You're two short." Now say that again to yourself a few times. Yep, that's right. I didn't realise it until Hao started to laugh. Now Land is short. That's a fact. What I said sounded like "You're too short." I started laughing and Land and friends quickly caught on to the joke. We all know how sensitive Land is about her height. So sorry about that, but damn, that was funny.

When will the jokes and laughter end for me? This is why I love going to school. The hilarity and humour.
