11/5/2012 Today there was mania as all the ‘Rhetos’ (all the students who are about to finish their last year of school here), all dressed up as outrageous things at school. All types of characters were there, from Ali G, to Cats, to superman. It was awesome how they caused ruckus all day though, and all times throughout the classes for today were just loud screams, rumbling of shifting desks, and just a complete dismissal of authority for the day. After school finally finished, we were all off down to the local for a few, and people from the three schools in the area came.

This was the first day of the three day preparation for the annual Rotary Talent Show, and as I went to go to the gare at 9am sharp, I spent my time practicing the guitar while waiting. An hour passed, and I though what the hell is this ? Turns out, the email said you could arrive between 9-12. What kind of instruction is that ? a three hour variable time to arrive ? There must be a reason. And there was. There was one car going the 15 minute trip back and forth from Theux to Verviers transporting over 50 rotary kids from all over Belgium. Good ‘ol rotary. Having waited, I was on ... read more
