Welcome to April

Yes, welcome to April and to the least interesting day of my year.Why the least interesting you may ask and I shall tell you. It is the least interesting day of my year for a good many reasons, some universal and some specific to me.

Firstly, April Fools Day. How very droll. Doubtless the Guardian will try to print some amusing little story which no-one cares about because the Libyan and Middle Eastern Situations are sort of the only news at the moment and doing an April fool about the fight for freedom would be in very bad taste. Why does no-one ever do anything daring on April Fools Day? I would love, the next time it's on a Wednesday, for the Prime Minister to bring questions in the house forward half an hour and then instead of doing any parliamentary business have the entire house sing this at 11.30 :


But Maybe that's just me

Secondly, today my lessons are going to be somewhere between pointless and silly. First double Politics, usually fine but today we begin to study the great institutions of the European Union. As soon as we can think of them. Until then we'll be looking at the actual institutions so I will just be getting more and more irritated that my life is being run from Brussels when I'd quite like it to be run from the nation I live in and am proud of (which is Britain, not England as I shall explain another time)

Then I have a free period. And no real work to do. I don't have enough room in my bag to bring my coursework for History, I've handed in my English Coursework and don't have any essays to write. If I'm lucky I might be able to break into a free music room and get something done regarding BTEC rehearsing. I'm never lucky.

And after that it's double English. Firstly a Faustus/Pardoner lesson where doubtless we will read the rest of the introduction in the front of our copie of the Pardoner's Tale which have been so helpfully photocopied and handed out to us (we might even finish it, you never know) and then discuss something irrelevant to the course. And then an Othello lesson, which will probably be very fun, and will involve biscuits but will not involve a lot of work. Also, our Othello teacher was ill last lesson and may be again. In which case we will do nothing.

I do have a singing lesson later though, which should make the day a bit more interesting, but generally April Fools Day manages to make any day seem dull for the simple reason that it's meant to make things more interesting, and people just aren't funny any more
