Bicycle Clamps
There's been some discontent about our bicycle situation. Some people have not been leaving theirs in the "designated parking space", against their knowledge that there was such a thing. As a result, their bikes have been chained together in pairs (still in the wrong place) and the reception people have refused to unlock them again.
This caused a little anger in people, which slowly escalted into WWIII due to some misunderstandings and mishearings. Hopefully, everything is sorted now though and there won't be any hard feelings. Not on the bike front though! They are still locked up.
As for today, there was the morning's Japanese lesson that included both vocabulary and kanji tests. Also, tomorrow we have another vocab test for stuff we haven't even looked at yet! Should be... interesting.
Had Seb's history lesson as well. I quite enjoy them, though a lot of people don't seem to for some reason. I find it all very interesting; we even had the word "samurai" today, which caused a little excitement.
Also, Seb has an English conversation class with some of the Japanese students on Mondays, and he says he is planning to show them an episode of "Trailer Park Boys", which is about a group of ex-convicts who swear a lot. An interesting teaching ploy, if ever I did hear one. He says it's so that they can learn to understand what people are saying. Plus they talk slowly.
Linden Hall in the afternoon again. Taught the first years with Flick. We did a flash card hunting game, and then hangman and they didn't want to stop! Nothing much in the evening though. Just chilling.

Sounds like you all need a pair of small bolt cutters. They would make quick work on the bike chains.
Look out for some when you are next around a DIY store.
Sounds like you have some rather quick to be uncompromising administrative people there.

I disagree that there were any mishearings or misunderstandings. I think all parties understood what was going on there.
