School. Again.

The Head of History/ Head of my year at school is funny. She registered my form this morning because our real form tutor couldn't get in yet. Then this boy called Warren, one of those people who's into rap and hanging out on street corners came in with his trainers on - we're not allowed to wear trainers indoors. So she told him to go and put his proper shoes on. So he came back in about a minute later and said,
"Oh miss these shoes make me look gay!" So she said something like,
"What would you prefer? Looking like a perfectly normal person or losing your free time in a lunchtime detention?" So Warren obviously went with the first option. So she carried on saying something like,
"You shouldn't make fun of homosexuals you know, because there could be a load of them in school who are afraid to come out and say they are, because they'll get beat up by people like you. When you get to Uni though, no-one cares because it's all about the alternative lifestyle. When I was in Uni we went to Berlin, and we had a day when we just got to go off and do stuff. There was a lesbian there, and she said she was going to the Museum of Homosexuality because she thought it would be like the history of homosexuality and lesbianism. But when she went in, it was just like big clay models of men's privates all over the place, and there was a big bed in the middle with a screen above it showing a gay love sceen from a porno movie." So we were all disgusted.

In assembly, the headmaster was going on about how we're in 'exponential times'. So he showed us this slide show by some guy called Karl Fisch (haha Karl Fish!!) about the fact that currently technology is doubling or something every two years and soon it'll be about every 72 hours. And it had a load of other stuff like that, like how we're being trained for jobs that don't exist yet, and that in our three years at university, the first year will be outdated by the third year. But the slideshow was called 'Shift happens'. My mate Janneka couldn't see the 'f' though, so you can imagine what she thought it said. That's pretty much all that happened today.
