Ordering my new uniform

Dear readers,

I pondered a lot over the last few days and I finally came to the conclusion to take the poll results as they are now. Even if it is obvious that someone has tempered with it, there's no way of knowing if there are other manipulated votes as well. And when you start to discard one set of votes - where do you stop? I therefore will buy my new school uniform according to the results.

My new uniform looks like this:

Winter maroon blazer maroon cardigan white long-sleeved blouse and necktie grey gymslip maroon knickers white knee socks (maroon?) felt hat

Summer maroon blazer summer dress or white long-sleeved blouse, necktie and grey gymslip maroon knickers white ankle socks (maroon?) felt hat

Before I change my mind again I have already ordered most of the stuff. The only missing things are the cardigan, the felt hat and the summer dress. Some of the voters have provided me with other online shops though, so I will have a look there.

Closing the uniform poll prematurely because of manipulation

Dear readers,

sadly I have to inform you that I had to close my school uniform poll prematurely because someone has been manipulating it over the last few days, possibly even right from the start.

The MisterPoll website lets me - as poll creator - see more detailed poll results. I can view not only the overall results but also what each single voter has selected. There's an uncanny accumulation of identical or almost-identical votes which have been repeatedly submitted in quick succession (over the course of just a couple of minutes each).

The intention of the poll was to assemble my new school uniform by the "hive mind", to let others select my uniform for me because a real schoolgirl couldn't select her own uniform as well. Now while this is mostly still the case even though someone has voted several times, it clearly undermines the votes of others, giving one person an unjustifiable advantage, and manipulates the "hive mind's" intentions.

I will deliberate over the weekend whether I will simply buy the uniform items that I like, or whether to try and "clean up" the poll results, discarding obvious forged entries.

I'm sad that one person tried to spoil the fun not only for me but probably also for at least some of the other voters. I'm sure there were some doms/teachers among them who took pleasure in selecting my uniform items but whose vote is negligible thanks to the manipulations.

And to the manipulator ... I'm pretty sure I know who you are. And I'm really angry because I told you to stop but instead you even increased the manipulations. Shame on you.

It's not summer yet but...

Dear readers,

the interim results of my new school uniform poll show that most voters want my summer uniform to consist of a summer dress (and I really hope I can find one in my size). I hadn't thought that this would get so many votes, that's why I didn't include a question from my first poll again: "if 'dress' gets the most votes, may I also wear the blouse/skirt-combo (whichever gets most votes from those) optionally?" (note: the current runner-up in the interim results would be a short-sleeved blouse, tie, and gymslip)

So what do you think? Should I be only allowed to wear the dress? Or should I be allowed to choose independently between dress and blouse/gymslip every day - or should there be rules when to wear which of those (e.g. blouse/gymslip has to be worn in detentions or on formal occasions)?

Please leave a comment :)

That didn't go as planned...

Dear readers,

perhaps you have noticed that all pictures in my previous blog posts are gone. I just upgraded my blogger profile to a Google+ account and obviously something went wrong. :-/

I think I have most of the pictures still saved on my hard drive so I'll try to re-upload them over the next couple of days.

Update: I restored all except one or two photos, so everything should be back to normal now. I also took to opportunity to play a little with the blog's style. :-)

Starting the year with a dreadful punishment

Dear readers,

I couldn't spend much time in my schoolgirl role in December and most of November, so I was willing to get back to that. I hoped for a slow start, however the punishment I received was probably the most extensive that I ever received.

I had to write "Die Schüler müssen im Unterricht die korrekte Uniform tragen, sonst müssen sie zur Strafe Zeilen schreiben." (translation: "The pupils have to wear the correct uniform in class, otherwise they have to write lines as punishment.")

One. Thousand. Times.

What happened? On New Years Day I decided to wear knee socks instead of the wool tights that are to be worn with my winter uniform (I had shaved my legs and wanted to feel the smothness, hence the knee socks). I also forgot to put on my cardigan which is also a mandatory part of the winter uniform. And to top that all, I haven't worn my hat.

Senorita Sanchez caught me wearing the incorrect uniform and gave me my - I have to say well deserved - punishment. I had to start writing right away in the late evening and completed the first 98 lines that evening.

 

 

  

For the next day, Senorita Sanchez put under strict detention rules which she supervised via webcam. I had to start writing at 8:00 in the morning. I was allowed a 10-minute break every two hours, as well as two 20-minute breaks at 13:00 and 19:00. Only during these breaks was I allowed to stop writing, or to go to the bathroom or drink and eat something. Otherwise I had to continue writing, writing, writing - until midnight!

I have no idea how I survived this day, but somehow I managed it. I completed the assignment upto line 862.

Interestingly I was ordered to wear knee socks - so I was actually wearing the things that earned me my punishment in the first place.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

As you can imagine, my hand hurt a lot after this day. This was only topped by the pain in my neck (from looking down on my desk all day).

Fortunately for both my hand and my neck I was busy with real life stuff the next two days. I finished the assignment on Saturday.

  

  

  

This was definitely a punishment that pushed my way over my comfort zone and I hope I will never be punished again like this.

I still have this fantasy of having to attend a Saturday detention and complete countless lines as well as homework over a weekend, but a 16-hour-detention(!) with almost no breaks is definitely out of the question in the future. I don't think that this is in any way healthy.

Now obviously this is a difficult topic. Is it a punishment when you're still in your comfort zone? Is it a real school scenario when the pupil can stipulate certain terms? etc.

Everyone must answer these questions for themselves, I suppose. Personally, as a switcher, I'm not a fan of such extreme punishments. I'm more of a "GentleDom", using punishment not to satisfy sadistic tendencies but to correct wrong behaviour. Punishments should be uncomfortable and painful, yes. Maybe they should even bend the limits of the culprit a little bit. But it should in all cases stay safe, sane and consensual.

I definitely learned my lesson (that's the positive side, I suppose), but I also hope to never be subjugated to something like this again. "Normal" detentions (=realistic school detentions of, let's say, 6-8 hours) are fine, but 16-hour-detentions are torture.
