2nd Last Thursday

Hey guess what? I've only got one Thursday left! That's crazy. This year went so quick... Here's what happened on my second last Thursday:
Grève National d'Education. All the teachers were on strike today, except, of course, my maths and history teachers (yippee!). So, as you can imagine, I had a busy two hour day today. It started with maths at 11, so I thought that it might be fun to go to school on bike (like back in the good ole' days): I was horribly wrong. I'm not sure if I've ranted on enough about that bike, but damn! It has become impossible to ride! The wheels are more than just buckled, they're loose or something; which does have the hidden advantage of turning without moving the handle-bars, but nothing else. There is a leak in the front tyre that I cannot find. The brakes don't work - they actually don't work. You'd think that that would worry me, but, thanks to those crazy wheels, brakeable speeds are unachieveable; to stop suddenly, I just take my feet off the pedals. I'm not crazy about the gears either. Suffice to say, THAT will definitely be my last bike ride with this bike. Hey, I gave this bike a chance (I rode it all the way to Le Pont Du Gard), but it just doesn't wanna play ball!
Anyway, got a bit off track didn't we? Yes, school, we were 7 in maths and 10 in history out of classes of 19 and 33, respectively. And no, I wasn't the only person eating à la cantine. Then, for the rest of the afternoon (we found a bit of spare time between classes, believe it or not) we all played Taboo! and went on the internet in the library.
Oh and the strike? Same reason as last time, teachers losing their jobs and other teachers having to pick up their hours. Except now, they want to get rid of economics class - something that's not going down so well with the economics teachers.
