Return of the Slaps

I’m hurt. My pride is bruised, my eyes are stinging and my face is red... but not from embarrassment (well, maybe a little bit). After my small breaking of the Slap Bet rules last week, Benji and Charlie promptly slapped me first think Monday morning, with no holding back... ok, fine, Charlie was kind enough to hold back and Benji messed his slap up, so really I got away with minimal slappage (yes, it’s a word), but despite this I’m determined to avoid them having the chance to get proper revenge ever again. So, here’s this week’s post coming to you ON TIME!

For those of you who have never participated in a Slap Bet, I have a video to convey what’s at stake here, as well as show what will probably happen in the future to one of us (Benji, Charlie and myself) if we don’t post on time. As usual, the whole video is hilarious, but if you’re in a hurry you can watch from 1:25... but watch the whole thing.

Of course, as with all things in life, there’s a perfect song to hum quietly (or, if you’re really brave, sing loudly in their face) just after the slap has been administered:

Anyway, moving away from amusing ways to harm your friends, half term is now officially over. And I already feel like I need a holiday! I mean, what’s the point of giving us a so-called ‘break’ if we then get so much homework we don’t get a break? One of my teachers actually thought 93 pages of past papers seemed reasonable! 93! I couldn’t care less about what angle a shot putter should put his leg at to improve his throw, and if I have to read one more velocity-time graph I’m going to burn the whole booklet, I swear to God.

Still, at least all the other subject teachers took all this into consideration... sadly, they then decided they wanted to work us to death didn’t care and gave us piles and piles of other work anyway... awesome.

So, that’s why I only just finished my holiday homework (apart from the 93 bloody pages of physics) today.

Well, I hope you had a more restful holiday than I did, and if you are one of those people who sat at their desk procrastinating all week and doing very little work, don't worry; we all did the exact same thing!

Have a great week!
