Fusses (self-explanatory)

Fuss Of The Day 2

Last week we had a Japanese Paralympian come to give us a speech at school (as you do). This preparation fuss was immense with letters and announcements being given out on a seemingly 5 minute basis informing us of important things, such as changing the time we would get the second grade students to take their chairs down from 1.25 to 1.20. This ongoing fuss for such an important person seemes slightly hypocritical considering that at least half the students and even more of the teachers FELL ASLEEP during the speech (literally). The actual fuss of the day was surely the only detail that we managed to overlook...what to put the water in that was going to be put out for her on the stage in case she needed a drink mid-speech. Lack of bottles, jugs and time to go to a shop for a bottle (not sure why) led to her decanter being a vase, not a particularly cryptic one either as it had cartoon flowers all over it...even more planning needed next time!
