English Lit Student? [Oh the irony!]

When I first got back to school in Perth after a delay, I found that despite entering in the common password that's issued to each year before we're allowed to choose our own passwords, I couldn't log in. Goodness knows why. I reported it to the librarian (of all the people in charge of faulty computer log ins, it's the LIBRARIAN) but nothing was done about it, despite me complaning twice.
But the point was that I couldn't get on for the first 3 weeks of school, before my English Lit teacher finally decided to email Martin the technician one morning about my faulty log in due to the fact that I actually did need the computer for work such as English Lit.
And the rapid-fire response was amazing.
After complaining twice to the library about it, and three weeks of waiting, Martin responded in the afternoon on the same day the complaint from my Lit teacher was sent.

And to add insult to injury, this is what he sent:



And he sent this to me, the English Lit student. And English Literature is the most highly respected of all the English subjects in the school.
It's not his fault, obviously he doesn't know what teacher he's sending it to or what classes I decided to do. But oh! the irony contained in this email is precious.

On a different topic, I just got back my test results from a gazillion tests. It seems the moment I decide to spend more time on subjects like maths or english, my chemistry goes down the drain.
I got 74% for my maths (a huge improvement from the last test!), my english essays are slowly progressing up the B ladder, and my recent history essay earned me 4 out of 5. My chemistry however sunk into the unknown depths of a C from the somewhat better B.
*sigh* There goes the neighbourhood.
