A one-time update .... maybe?

I'm not sure if anyone will be even reading this - the last (and at the time final) update - has been posted more than a year ago, after all. But a few weeks ago I tried something that I never did before: writing a punishment essay. And I thought I'd share that one.

I met Matron Fox in the Written Punishments Group on Yahoo and she has a thing for essays, so I thought I'd offer to write one for her. We did a tiny bit of roleplay and I ended up with the task of having to write an essay on "why a proper English gymslip is the perfect dress for a girl's school uniform". The essay was to consist of at least 1000 words which doesn't seem too much at first glance but trust me - that was very very hard. I was running out of ideas about what to write towards the end and just finished it with 1004 words. Kudos to everyone who ever wrote a punishment essay with several thousand words.

 

 

So, anyone still here? Let me know in the comments below, or shoot me a message on FetLife.

Lines en français

Dear readers,

recently a new teacher arrived in the Written Punishments group on Yahoo, and on Monday I - having to much free time* - asked her for a punishment. I made up the story that I didn't wear my school blazer in the recent summer heat (which actually wasn't that far from the truth). 

Miss Thivierge is the new French teacher, so naturally she told me to write my lines in French: "Mon uniforme n'est pas une décoration: je dois le porter en tout temps, même sur le chemin du retour.", 100 times. One mistake per page was thankfully allowed - I don't speak French so it was a bit more difficult than usual to write those lines.

  

  

  

Now, because I don't speak French I mixed up a word on page 3 a few times. I wrote "chemis" instead of "chemin". Miss Thivierge made me re-write page 3 four times. 

 

 

So the blazer now stays on no matter how hot it is. Lesson learned. Until next time... ;-)

Spending (most of) the weekend writing

Dear readers,

again I had the pleasure(!?) of writing for the lovely Miss Melanie this weekend.

On Friday evening she contacted me via IM out of the blue and just told me to write "Es ist mir eine große Freude, diese fünfhundert Zeilen übers Wochenende für Miss Melanie schreiben zu dürfen." (translation: "It is a great pleasure for me to be allowed to write these five-hundred lines over the weekend for Miss Melanie"). 500 times, obviously. Deadline was Sunday evening.

So I wrote the first 100 lines on Friday evening, I woke up early on Saturday and decided to start writing (at 7:30). I somehow thought that the whole task would require 8 hours of writing. And I wanted to do it all on Saturday to have a free day on Sunday. Taking into account that I already wrote 100 lines I thought I'd be finished early in the afternoon. I'm not sure what I made me think that because in the end it took me until 18:00 to finish the 500 lines, encompassing 25 pages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After I finished that I actually really enjoyed the evening and was looking forward to another (well, this time really) free day on Sunday. I guess sometimes you only appreciate something if you have less of it. 

I talked about this with Miss Melanie on Sunday and she kinda agreed. I cheekinly said that she should try writing herself.

Well, that got me another set of lines. "Wenn ich frech bin, kürzt Miss Melanie mir sofort empfindlich meine Freizeit." (translation: "When I'm being cheeky, Miss Melanie instantly shortens my free time noticeably.") 250 times. 

 

 

 

So that were ~15 hours of writing this weekend. My hand hurts, and you know things are bad when a school uniform enthusiast wants to get out of the school uniform because it feels so uncomfortable.

There are obviously better ways to spend the weekend. And I'm sure Miss Melanie did those things. ;-) 

For me, this was very hard and I hope for a bit of rest now, but ultimately I'm satisfied that I managed to complete the tasks.

What's next? Tune in next week. Same Bat-time. Same Bat-channel.
