April's Fools

It's almost the end of March. MADNESS!!!!! It still feels like school started yesterday! Tomorrow is the first of April. It is an old friend's birthday, lost contact with her many years ago though. We've actually got quite a scadalous history, but nevermind!

Tomorrow marks the start of the secnd quarter and am sure that my students will try play some tricks on me. I don't remember trying to play tricks on teachers when I was a student, we attempted, but failed spectacularly!

It was in Primary 6, my class had decided to play a prank on our Form Teacher; I cannot remember the exact nature of the prank though.

But as it happened, she walked into class with a really serious look on her face with a large stack of science worksheets. Then she proceeded to hand out the worksheets one by one, it was the prelim paper of some other school. After we received the whole stack, she made us seperate our desks and annouced that we had 1h 45mins to complete the whole paper!

It was a surprise test that would eat into our recess. Seeing how serious she was, we didn't protest and simply started our work.

Ten minutes into the "test" she stopped the test and annouced, "April Fools!". RIGHT! Our plan had backfired!

That was 15 years ago. It would be really nice to meet her again. But like I posted on a Teacher's Day post a few years ago, if I don't see her within this lifetime again, I know I will see her again beside the crystal sea.
