School Silliness

So the computer network at the school has been messed up due to computer viruses and it's having a number of weird effects. The first is that its currently impossible to print anything at the school, except by going to the Principal and asking her to do it for you. Since the principal is often busy or not at the school this means its very difficult to print things. For example, the other day I decided it was easier just to go to an internet cafe and printout my students debate speeches.

Because of the virus, there are now new restrictions of computer use at the school. Some of these make sense and others don't. For example, the computer I would use to print things (if the network could print things) now has a password that I have to ask a secretary to enter in order to use the computer. However, other new restrictions don't make sense. For example, no one is allowed to use the school computers after six and on the weekends. This is because according to the school computer people the computers anti virus protection does not work after 6 or on the weekends. Also, I'm no longer permitted to be in the computer office after 6 or on weekends (usually I go there to surf the internet on my laptop, because the signal is the strongest), because then people will think I'm using the school computers against regulations (even though I don't have the password). Its all very very silly.

In other school news, tomorrow my school is having its September 18th celebration. Its going to be an all day affair with lots of dances and a long lunch. All the different grades are putting on a class dance for which they have been practicing for weeks. All the students are very excited about it. I'll definitely have to take pictures.
