Muck up day (revision leave day)

What a day! I woke up at 7:00 at got in to school at 8:00 feeling that i was quite early. On my arrival i discovered that the school has already been "decorated". Apparently people had been in school since 4:30 in the morning. I just wasn't prepared to make that kind of commitment. Notable acts: in the morning the bus park was converted into a airport with authentic over-zealous customs officials. Every time a new bus arrived someone would run round shouting and pretending to be a suicide bomber before being taken out. Very authentic. On the main school buildings giant banners with the face of the headmaster cunning photo shopped to look like a symbol were hung from windows in the style of banners hung to support communist leaders. There were propaganda posters around the school with clever captions such as : Mr Turner (headmaster) says make your women work, using a picture of a Princess Ann turning over the first sod of the sports hall with the headmaster in the background. Also a Russian guy in our year recorded a communist speech to add to the atmosphere. There was a very "clever magic trick" and a water park which consisted of a bouncy castle, 2 paddling pools and some slides. Much of the day was spent there and since everyone in the 6th form was armed with waster pistols its not hard to imagine what happened. A proposed fight that was going to take place on one of the school fields using inflatables and the like was cancelled unfortunelty due to exams. But all in all a great day and a brilliant way to leave school. Now sadly I've got to really start cramming for exams, which won't be as much fun. Lets hope i manage to get some work done!
