Parents Evening:

It was that time in the evening...

Seeing our History teacher with our parents. I also have Mr Gibson for Religious studies (which is mandatory to take, ew) and I was scared about what he was going to say.

The next day, I heard what he said about the rest of them.

• Schmitz was upset she wasn’t with her parents so she didn’t know what was going on. We all wonder if he mentioned the Mermaid Hitler incident.

• Pegasi said that Mr Gibson stated “that our table was way too loud.” Which indeed is the reason why we have been seperated in half :(

• Gray said that she’s happy that he didn’t say anything negative but he did say that she was “like a leader.” Since Gray mostly tells the table to shut up (I do it without asking, I’m scared of him)

• Gabby was extremely happy. She was told she was allowed to do Higher history next year (THAT’S A YEAR EARLY, I’M SO PROUD OF HER) and her mother found out she argues with Mr Gibson 24/7. Most iconic, her male rebellion when she said “call me Evan!” In an argument when he said that he thinks guys are better (he doesn’t actually believe that, he says things to make us argue)

As for me, I actually cried because of what Mr Gibson told me. It was also the first year my mother ever came to parents evening, YASS PRESSURE! He doesn’t teach National 5 however so it did confuse me when he said “if you have either me or *insert other History teacher* next year, you need to tell us if you need extra time.” He stated that “your mental health is important.” And also, “me and you are alike.” Okay we may have the same handwriting but still. That actually made me cry because I look up to him. Well not look up at him, eye level to him. Still wondering where my beard and glasses are, since we’re so alike ʅ（•‿•）ʃ

I’m honestly so proud of my friends, “like a proud mama hen” as Terry Jeffords put it. If they ever find this, I want them to know that I love them so much.

That’s an evening folks!

The lesson we weren’t supposed to talk about Hitler

It started when we were talking about World War One. Mr Gibson had asked the class who was the soldier that wanted revenge because he was blinded. Of course, I put up my hand and said “Adolf Hitler.” It was something previously mentioned in class and I so happened to remember it.

As we were moving on, Gabby decided to mention how Hitler didn’t die in the bunker. You know, that conspiracy theory about him escaping to Argentina when the only evidence that existed was the same medicine Hitler took for his Parkinson’s.

hOlY sHiT hE wAs ThErE! - Gabby the whole fucking time.

Anyways, Mr Gibson obviously debunked such accusations. Talking about how Eva Braun, Hitler’s newly wedded wife has committed suicide with him. Gabby said it wasn’t romantic. Mr Gibson then said “they could’ve been hugging, killed each other?” Of course, he doesn’t like the subject of love either which is a mood. Pegasi then said in a seductive tone “is that a gun or are you happy to see me?” Mr Gibson pretended he didn’t hear that come out her mouth like she came out the closet. Out of no where, Schmitz whispered to me “he could’ve become a mermaid.” I told her to say it to our teacher, so she did.

He started to mention his books. Mein Kampf (my struggles) and Hitler’s Zwietes Buch (Hitler’s second book). It was the day I learned he had a second book, holy shit AND IT DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A PROPER NAME?! Mr Gibson said “he doesn’t mention any symptoms in his books. Who’s read Mein Kampf?” I raised my hand whilst no one in the class did.

“Yikes. Okay so tell me how could he be a mermaid?” I laughed. “His Parkinson’s disappeared when he swam all the way to Argentina after becoming a mermaid.” Schmitz said innocently. Mr Gibson crawled up into a ball. The sheer pain and panic he must’ve felt. I really felt like giving him a hug. “Are you okay sir?” I asked after two minutes. He was close to tears. I don’t think he was prepared to ever hear that in his 16 years of teaching. Reaching up to his stand up desk he grabbed it for support as he got up from his crossed legs in the corner position near the black board.

“I need alcohol.” I felt that in a way. It’s like me with sleep, I never want to leave my bed because I like forgetting about the days I just had. We all laughed.

I hate Hitler, I can’t believe he shot Blondi. For those who don’t know who Blondi is, she was a German Shepard that was given to Hitler as a gift from Martin Bormann (ex assistant of Rudolf Heß and new deputy Führer until Hitler failed) in 1941. She was raised as a pup and stayed with Hitler when he was in the bunker. He did it so the Russians wouldn’t torture the doggo. Her pups were shot by Hitler’s dog handler but his wife didn’t like Blondi because she prefered her dogs more. Inequality right here folks.

Since this lesson, I’ve started to read Zwietes Buch. I can’t believe that a man like that has existed in history. It’s difficult to read however, I will finish it by the end of the break. I will also drop a review also.

Before we left Mr Gibson was like:

That’s a lesson folks!

Welcome to the best page in history

Hola amigos. I’m glad to show you this page. This page is going to be better than all the other pages, that’s facts.

People who will be mentioned are obviously going to have their name changed!

My friends are:

Pegasi: short crazy gay we Stan and love. She isn’t as short as..

Gray: a tad bit shorter than Pegasi. BiConic AF we love her girlfriend...

Schmitz: a tall person who is funny. She knows how to make us laugh with her Sid the sloth impression.

Gabby: let’s not forget to mention her! This demisexual is one amazing friend and a heck of a fighter when it comes to our history teacher...

Mr Gibson: Our most beloved history teacher has to put up with us a whole lot. We are the cause of his midlife crisis, the reason why he one time needed “alcohol” when Schmitz told him about Mermaid Hitler (but that’s a story for another time).

I am Leah. They don’t know I’m doing this page so it excites me to keep this a secret. It’s also the reason I had to change all the names.

I hope you all stick around, I promise it’ll be worth your while and you’d wish you were in that classroom with us.
