Boarders’ Dining Hall

“Nicole! That is like your fourth day in a row of only eating mashed potatoes!”

“Well I just got braces. It’s very painful. I can’t eat anything else…”

“Here, have some soup. You have to eat more than just mashed potatoes!”

“But the broccoli bits get stuck in the braces, no. I’ll just keep eating mashed potatoes, it’s fine. The pain is already fading. I think I just need a couple more days, and then I should be right.”

“Do you want some apples cut up?”

“No, thank you.”

“Girls — don’t hold your knives and forks like that. Hold them like this.

“Sit up straight! Don’t slouch your shoulders!”

“Brush your hair before you go to Chapel. Where is your ribbon?!

“Why is there a ladder in your stockings?! Go back upstairs and change them. NOW.”

“Uniform delivery!” (Laundered and ironed by the staff) “Don’t just leave your blazer lying around like that, it’ll crinkle!”

“That skirt is too short. What did you do to the hem?”
“Nothing? I’ve just been… growing taller?!”
“Well STOP THAT. And get a that HEM TAKEN DOWN.”

“Stop. — Just stop. Please. Girls — Stop! You’re being too rowdy. Unladylike!!!”

“UNLADYLIKE”

“Do NOT ever sit like THAT! Unladylike!”

“Where is your badge? Have you lost your badges? Then you are no one! You’re supposed to be PROUD of your badges, you EARNED them!”

“Why is your badge crooked? Don’t try to be rebellious like that.”

“Do NOT tuck your collars into your JUMPERS! How many times do we have to tell you? That’s the WRONG way to WEAR A SHIRT.

“Why don’t you have all your buttons buttoned up? There’s no reason to do that.”

“Where is your beret?

“You are NOT allowed to go into town without your berets. You are representing THIS SCHOOL. Your uniform MUST BE correct at ALL. TIMES.

“It’s so lovely when you go into town and you see other past girls, and they stop you in the street, and they say, your uniform is beautiful! Beautiful girls, you’re representing the school. You look SO GOOD! You are all pristine!

“What — is that?!”
“Bubble tea?”
“You are NOT allowed to wear this uniform and drink… bubble… TEA.
“Why not?”
“You’re not allowed to wear this uniform and be seen drinking ANYTHING. Don’t hold ANYTHING in your hands when you are out in. PUBLIC.”

(LOL) — This is a dramatisation, it wasn’t this bad!

“Oh my GOD. There is THAT CUTE BOY from the BOYS SCHOOL.”

“OH MY GOD. THEY LOOK SO HOT WITH THEIR CADET UNIFORMS ON.”

“Did he just WAVE at you?!?!!?!?!” (Squeeeeeee!)

“Oh my god, it’s Valentine’s Day! Did the cute boy send you anything?!”

“Yes! He sent me some red frogs!(Squeeeeeee!)

Wait, wait, wait, waitWhat are red frogs?!

(LOL)… like, lollies… shaped in the shape of FROGS… (HAHAHAHAHAAHHAAH)…

What do you… how did he send them? What?!

(SIGH)… if you knew the grade and class number of the girl you wanted to send a “valentine’s day gift” to you could fill out a little piece of paper, with her name, her class number, and a little message for her. And everybody gets the red frogs in little packets so it’s all equal. Everybody got the same valentine’s day gift. Just that if you didn’t have a boy who likes you then you didn’t get anything!

Did you have a boy who sent you something?

(LOLOLOLOLOLOL)……………………….

Do the girls get to send anything?

No. Just the boys.

Oh… just the boys… get to send something.

Yup. Just the boys. They learn to be gentlemen.

(LOL) Jokes — no they don’t! That was a romanticisation.

What?! So you can send it both ways?!

(LOL) In reality, yes, you can send it BOTH WAYS.

It was the late-90s! Of course you can send it BOTH WAYS.

(Phone booth)… (Actually putting in coins in a phone… what do you call it?!)… International calling card… “Hi Mum, Hi Dad…”

(GASP) “You got a… MOBILE PHONE?!?!?!”

(ROFLMAO)~~~~~~~~

“Yes! It lights up and it has BUTTONS!”

“What brand is it?! NOKIA?! PANASONIC!?!?!?!”

(Shaking head, super smug) “It’s… MOTOROLA

(Woahhhhhhhhh!!!!)

I’m CACKLING AS I JUST WROTE THAT ^0^
