Welcome to the guided tour of my school...

...please keep head, arms, legs and all other limbs you might have safely inside, and do not stick them out the window, because a kid tried that once and got stuck. Yes, he did. He's called Julio. And then the vice principal came out of her office, but luckily she didn't look up.

I've been meaning for ages to take some photos of my school and post them, so as to reveal to the world the cruel fate that we, as students, must endure every day.
No, I'm not kidding (Hehehe).

Anyway, here are a few. Click for full size.

Let's kick off with this one. It was taken from the hall, which I guess isn't really a hall. It's a sort of a balcony - corridor thing. Anyway, this is the schoolyard a few minutes after recess, which is when we get a few moments to laze around, while the teachers prepare for their next class, which should have started already (although I'm sure they're actually lazing around, too). The people you see strolling around are theoretically not supposed to be there. They're just sneaky little minxes looking for prey.


Next! Ok, see, if you're facing the blackboard in the classroom, the previous photo is on the right side. On the left side, our view consists of this. On the top, the railing is from the first years' classrooms. Underneath that is the pricipal's office, teacher's lounge, etc. On the ground, you can see lots of little black dots. That's gum, left by our predecessors. This photo was taken from the window in our classroom that has no glass, which is good on hot days, but on chilly days it sucks.

Okay. Here we can see one of the many guys who refuses to look at the camera (Emmanuel). He was playing that game where you put your hand on a flat surface and stab at the spaces between your fingers. The hand belongs to another guy (Mikey, although everybody misspells it as Mickey). I don't know why they do it, but luckily they haven't stabbed themselves. Yet. On the board behind them is some stuff from Math class, which some people still haven't gotten yet. Just a few minutes after this, someone who shall not be named (coughGodoycough) couldn't figure out how to square 1/5 b. Also, in this photo you can see a clear, though rather lacking, example of the decoration on our chairs. We work hard to make the school a better and more beautiful place. Although everybody here is very humble, and I'm sure nobody would voluntarily take credit for these works of art.

Last photo for now: people fleeing at the end of the day. I could tell you that the photo is blurry because I have no photographic skills, but it's really on purpouse. Yes. Because... it transmits the message better. And... er, everybody was running. Exactly.
