Procrastination. Other stuff to do… Oh no! I forgot my homework! It’s in 10 minutes, how can I get out of it??
Well… we’ve got you covered.
Here are 5 places to hide when you haven’t done your homework:
Math closets
This one is my favourite. The first thing you have to do is find a math teacher like Mr Boden or Ms Gordon and while they aren’t looking, snatch their lanyards. Right when your teacher brings up the homework just say “oh look a flying camel!” and use the key on the badge and unlock one of the closets that’s always locked for some reason and slip inside. You do have to be a little quick with it and not make too much noise but no one will look for you in there, trust me.
Alp flag pole
You know that one “balcony-like” spot at the top of the alps building, well personally I think that it’s only use was for the year 7 and year 13 drone photo last year for the newsletter. So until the school’s 200 year anniversary happens you should be good. No one really knows how you get up there but my advice is to just keep climbing the alps staircase next to the staff room. Just a warning it might be a little cold out there.
Theatre department storage room
For this one you have to be careful that Ms Archibold or Mx Sutton doesn’t find you and kick you out but if you hide in one of the bags filled with sand from the Jason and the argonaughts play from last year, I’m pretty sure no one will find you. You just need to be strong because that door is about 4x the size of the average human so beware.
Campus hub construction site
I think this one is one of the top picks, no teachers or students are allowed in that area so no one will suspect you’re there right? Here is the tactic I used for this one: First you have to find one of the workers there and wait until they go to the bathroom or get changed out of their work clothes, quickly snatch their clothes and change into them so you blend in as one of the people operating the crane or doing the digging. And well there you go just roam around the site and yell out “Bon travail” every once in a while.
Sketch book drawers
This one requires the least amount of effort because it doesn’t require clothes or lanyard snatching. For this one you need to go to reception and ask the receptionist which classes or year groups have art today, one of the ones that they don’t mention is the drawer you use. Just crawl past the art teachers office and take all of the sketchbooks out of the drawer you are going to use, get inside the drawer and cover yourself in the sketchbooks. You do need to keep a bit of the drawer open so you can, you know, breathe, but I like to think it makes it look more natural. Now that the hard part is finished, just stay in the drawer until French class is done and it’s time to run to the cafeteria to get the smash burger.
Please don’t make me get an email from the principle saying that SOMEONE decided it was a good idea to follow my above wonderful recommendations – this is not to be taken seriously!
