The roof is on fire!

I don't want to offend blond girls, but are they really that stupid? Today we had an exam when all of the sudden the fire alarm went off. The blond assistant who had to "watch us" was like: "normally we should all go outside, but let's all sit down so we can wait and see what the people in the other room will do". I already finished my exam and was just re-reading it so I was like here you go and see you later, handed in my paper and safely left the building. Was there a real fire? Don't know, probably not because I am sure that if the university was indeed on fire, it would have been on the news. But still, what if there was a real fire in the central hall? We were cellar and there were only two ways up, one at each side of a central hall. She seemed more worried about the exam papers than about us pupils...

Under the motto "make a fool out of yourself", let us watch to our new President State of the European Union, Czechia. To celebrate that Presidency, they ordered this sort of painting. It was supposed to be a painting made by 27 artists, one artist for each European Union country. Turns out the artists who were mentioned did not excist and were just a cover up for Cerny, the one (and only) artist. Belgium was portrayed by a chocolate box and waffle, while Bulgaria was the toilet of Turkey. Can Europe laugh with themselves? Will they accept this political satire? I highly doubt it.

It is proven that Belgium is and never will be the best student of the class. Some days ago our Assisen procedure was found incompatible with article 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (fair trial). This because our jury in Assisen doesn't have to explain why they decided that a person is found guilty. But if you look closer at the judgment, you can see that the ECHR had problems with the fact that, in this case, the jury only had to answer 4 questions. If they had to answer for example 20 questions, could this be considered as some sort of explanation? But this judgment could have serious consequences for previous cases. Some "killers" were also sent to jail based on only 4 or 5 questions. Luckily there are plans to reform the procedure.

I was browsing through this concert guide and saw that Ne-Yo was performing in Antwerp the ... 26th... Now this sucks because the next day I have my last exam. I know my mom so asking if I could go anyway would be useless since I know she would slap some sense in my head. Better luck next time I guess... It's not that I am a huge Ne-Yo fan but the guy has some good songs once in a while.
