Do you want to play a game?
As we all know, the last couple of weeks have been horrendously stressful. So I think that when we return after March Break we ought to have a little bit more fun, by reviving a game from Pre-IB English.
I don't think any of you, except Sarah, were in on "The Boot", so here's how it works: there is a blue game card (pictured below) that determines the person who is 'it'. The objective of card holder (or the person who has the boot) is to pass the card off to someone else without them knowing. For example, if I were to give Stuart a book with the boot in it, he'd then be it. However, if when I tried to hand him the book he saw the boot in it and called me out on it, I'd still be it.
Unfortunately, I don't think I still have the original boot, so we'll have to use this beaver playing lacrosse.
Who's in?

Goddamnit.
Following an unusual burst of motivation, I deiced to finally give my desk a proper cleaning-out, for the first time in like two years. In doing so I found a paper. A paper with the password to my IB results account from last year. I'd thought that I'd lost that paper, and had to wait until mid september to get my marks from Mr. Green. Turns out it was just sitting in the top drawer of my desk.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Aye Aye Captain
My Facebook message to Mrs Hanley:
"CAPTAIN HANLEY!!!
I'm not sure if you're going to be displeased by the fact that I am messaging you on Facebook, but I don't have your email address.
I'm currently working on my second world literature paper, and I was really panicking a few minutes ago because I couldn't think of anything else to talk about. In desperation, I looked through the folder on my computer of English assignments from last year, and... JACKPOT!
My paper is on the theme of man's inhumanity to man in The Constant Gardener and Night, and because of all those assignments on theme and imagery and symbolism that we all whined about at the time, I'm likely going to finish my paper within the next couple of hours.
So, I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU and I hope you're having a wonderful time in Korea. The students there are so lucky to have you. All of us IBs back here at NRHS really miss you!"
Take care Kara..
Cathy"

And her response:
"Kara...Of course I am not displeased by the fact that you are messaging me on facebook, I am so glad to hear from you!! And I thank you for your kind words...I think about all of you and wonder how things are going. My email is hanley3@gmail.com and I welcome all email messages, so please pass this along to the other IB students as I miss you all and think of you often. I am having the time of my life...a great decision to be sure...Tell Sarah Cooke I was talking about her to one of my students just yesterday because she is a Harry Potter fan...and I said well I don't think you are as much as a fan as one of my students back in Canada. I love my classes, in many ways they are typical grade 7 and 8 students yet in many ways they are not... I have had so many experiences here it is hard to summarize them ..but I have had trips to Nepal, Hong Kong, Tanzania, Taiwan, Cambodia, Thailand and this Thursday I go to Japan for 4 days and then for March break I am going to Bali ( I am meeting my husband there for a week) . So it has been an incredible year.. Please pass my best wishes on to your class and all the teachers and staff at NRHS. Don't forget to follow my blog theadventures of captain hanley I am a little behind in terms of getting pictures up but hope to update soon.. I will be in my house in Braeshore for the moth of July so maybe some of you can come and visit and let me know how your year went and what your plans for next year are...
Take care Kara..
