Well hello there. I know I haven't blogged in a while which may have given the implication that this blog has died. It just kind of went into a coma... if that is possible. Just to clear things up, I didn't blog due to exam preparation as well as, blatantly putting it, my laziness. Which, in case you are interested (which I doubt you are), is represented by this emoticon: ( ￣ー￣ ) (i.e. snorlax face!). Well, come to think of it, I shouldn't be restarting my blog now with exams this week and DofE Adventurous Journey preparation going on but so many awesome *enter heavy sarcasm* pranks were played this April Fools Day that I couldn't leave it un-blogged..
Well, as 9D students are trained professionals in the pranking business, our first prank was an instant success with hilarious results. Not. Anyway to the prank. I came into registration and, well, nothing was happening. I sat down with Jasmina, Rachel and Linda when Jacek got a brilliant idea.
-Guys! Let's hide in the Maths Resource Centre and stand around like lost and confused penguins stuck in a box because that would be totally hilarious!
Ok, so maybe that's not quite how he phrased it but that was pretty much what I heard. Anyway, grudgingly, everyone - that is the whole class of 18 people - all squeezed into one tiny room filled with maths sheets and colourful binders. As we stood there, half-asleep and not in very much of a prank-y mood we (or at least I) started wondering: 'What the hell are we doing here and how is this funny?' Which meant that we all went out, as a giant mass of people, to be welcomed by a smiling Ms Debevec, a rather confused but somewhat amused Mr Tonkin and Maria Maciejko, who was just kind of sitting there. So yes, that prank was a major success, especially considering that we weren't actually pranking anyone (that I was aware of anyway).
As bad as this prank was, this really kicked in the April Fools mood. Our first lesson was Art and considering that it is the lesson of creativity and thinking out of the box we played two rather unoriginal pranks:
Unfortunately for our teachers, this was not the end of our pranks. In Art, Jasmina and Jacek decided they were going to write a fake love letter to our dear and beloved RE teacher from a certain Piotrek. As everyone else was working on their graffiti thing they wrote a heartfelt love sonnet (or rather copied from the Internet) to ‘Diana’. Of course, once that was done, Mr Potter taught them to make a red envelope in which they proceeded to put the letter in and then, a bit later, with the help of my distraction skills they managed to sneak it onto her desk. Unfortunately we didn't see the results because we kind of forgot to tell her it's an April Fools joke so..
As the day continued our pranks varied from completely unprepared and on-the-spot pranks (like me and Rachel telling Year 8s Mr Tonkin wanted to speak to them and then literally forcing him to come into the classroom on the way back from the toilet) to planned and yet still completely pointless ones (like hiding two shelves worth of exercise books which took away 20 minutes of mine and Rachel’s break yet had no reaction.. at all). Also, to our disgust, we found out what mountain oysters really are (if you don’t know look it up on google). So yes, I think it was a rather successful day (:

**orrmazing - word coined by Mr Potter (I know, ama- I mean, orrmazing, right?)
PS. In case you aren't a complete nerd (like yours truly) here is a picture of a real (or as real as a cartoon can be) snorlax:

As bad as this prank was, this really kicked in the April Fools mood. Our first lesson was Art and considering that it is the lesson of creativity and thinking out of the box we played two rather unoriginal pranks:
- The first prank was an all time classic: we changed the time on the clock. This had a somewhat delayed but extremely amusing result. Half way through the class the Cleaning Lady from the Art room happened to be glancing at the time on the clock and was surprised to see that, supposedly, only a few minutes had passed since we came in. Not quite knowing what was going on, she repeatedly checked its time with her watch's, causing her to resemble a befuddled (I know, my vocabulary has actually improved past point of using just 'amazing', 'awesome' and 'awemazing'*) bobble head, looking up at the clock then back down at her watch. Needless to say, this caused Leon to laugh very loudly and poke me till I looked as well.
- The second rather well planned prank was our 'Missing Chairs' prank. Having gotten to the Art Room before Mr Potter the three 'pranksters' ran in and, with a rush of spontaneous thinking, hid all the chairs in the storage room. Surprisingly enough the three main pranksters where Jacek (actually no surprise there), Rachel and Jasmina (who was scarily pumped up about pranking teachers). Anyway, by the time the rest of us (the rather less excited students) came in half the chairs were gone and Jacek, Rachel and Jasmina each had a chair which they were carrying towards the storage room. Most of us proceeded to help and when we were finished we rushed out of the room, closed the door and replaced the look-out (who I think was Ronja or Adelaide) with Jacek to distract the teacher while the rest of the class calmed down and tried to let the suspicious excitement fade a bit. Mr Potter, knowng nothing, entered the room and the first words he said (well, first after: ‘Yeah, Hamzah. It IS a shame Pakistan lost, but next year, ehh?’) were: 'Oh no! Where are the chairs?' after which we decided to explain to him what an orrmazing** (I take it back, my vocabulary sucks) joke we played on him and after a photo to keep souvenir, we continued our lesson.
Unfortunately for our teachers, this was not the end of our pranks.
