English is becoming boring, but only because Mo is making it so. Sometimes I feel like shouting “Shut up you boring old toad” others, when he is talking at us on the same subject, I am fascinated but that’s Mo for you. Got on with some history when he was discussing at us today – better than wasting time.

Have heard that Lower 6^th committee is in the pipeline. Here I am faced by a choice – or rather a dilemma. I could strive to become a member of the committee, giving the extreme left a foothold and working for the improvement of the student class in our school. Or I could refuse to join a toy that has been given to us to placate our discontent. I will choose the latter course, most likely, and raise the question: “What have other committees achieved in the past?” The answer, in an oppressive bureaucratic regime, as is run in our school, must be obvious!
