Feeling sorry for the physics substitute teacher

I had maybe the most boring physics lesson yesterday. Our physics teacher was at this China meeting with some representatives from our chinese friend school, the high school of Beijing university. So, we had a substitute. Yay.

Not. Our substitute was a former student from our school. He wasn't, however, a former IB student. And since our class is the IB class, the teaching is supposed to be in English. The spoken English of the substitute teacher was, well, interesting. Very. It was almost worth the boring lesson to listen to him speaking English about as well as most Finnish politicians. And that's not too well. So, he had made up a slide show on standing waves and constructive/destructive interference, which we studied already last year. Fun. The slides were taken from his very boring physics university textbook, which was luckily enough in English. Otherwise I wouldn't have understood a thing. I ended up writing five A4 pages of notes. My hand still hurts. Bah.

I need to go christmas shopping. 'Tis the season to be jolly and spend all the money from your bank account on presents! How fun. The good point is that others will do the same and buy me stuff. At least that's how it's supposed to go.

Of course by trying to pick up a candle in a glass jar. And then I saw another person do the same thing and get his fingers badly burnt. LOL. :D
