Blunders, theatre and everything else

After I had officially finished my working day, Lorna asked me to correct the essays her year 13 has written on the environment. Apart from the fact that it took me about three hours, the style of some of them was so bad (sentence structure, lack of knowledge how to use a dictionary, etc) that it increasingly worsened my mood. Some of the mistakes are really funny, though, e.g. die Politiker können Steuern erheben, um die Nachfrage für Kohl zu senken. What's cabbage got to do with anything? Hehe.
We went to see Alan Ayckbourn's Absurd Person Singular yesterday and it was brilliant. It's about three English middle class couples (ranging from lower to upper middle class, though) who keep visiting each other on three successive Christmas Eves. A manically cleaning housewife, several unnoticed suicide attempts in a kitchen while four other people fix things in it, dancing on tables and, of course, nice dialogues. It was fun, for me, that is. I do have my doubts if the lady who sat next to me enjoyed it as much, since she had to put up with my constant nose-wiping. I've finally caught a cold and received praise from Lorna, since I am the first German she's met who doesn't run off to the doctor, or even stays at home at the first sign of a sore throat.
Did something rather silly the other day. Inspired by the dressing style of British girls, I wanted to prepare a lesson about it. I was at the school computer and googled 'slutty British girls'. The page with the results got blocked and I realised that once again, I hadn't been particularly clever. I just hope the IT blokes don't check the logfiles...hehe.
