A morning to remember

You raise good points........why exactly weren't we allowed to wear studs on school uniform and what was with the "no open shoes".........was Capui afraid that the chu chi (carbon-mugere) would be too much in class? Can you imagine brushing your teeth now with just a "tumpeco" of water. When they say "water is life", they are not lying.If Namagunga did nothing for you, it got you into a routine. Wake up, shower (I am not sure why we called what we did showering.I don't think the Namagunga showers have ever worked EVER!)then dress up that is to say, push your pot into a very colourful skirt, brush that hair until the veins on your forehead pop out in the name of a puff, wear that shirt and make sure you pull it from under the skirt so that the shirt looks straight!And then the lovely grey sweaters.

But 'Nga was another one... students were ALWAYS under the watchful eye of someone:- on going to sleep, you had to be supervised. Upon rising, you were under the scrutny of the dining room affairs, Internal affairs, social graces, education, etc, etc. Its a wonder there was no religious affairs to enforce the 'going for daily mass' thing.

As part of the mad morning rush, You forgot to mention the carcke period, how all those activities would get done in like 10 minutes, before we rushed off to the main hall for assembly, to try and read a bit before 'capui' or 'senabs' came in. Of course the more serious lot would prefer to freeze themselves to death behind the hall, coz there was always something to distract us inside the hall.

Oh,those were good olden days!

not to forget how some ladies took to reading under street lamps at four a.m!! and how we (i) had come to identify specific shrubs with specific people. you forgot to mention the old hall which if u wamlked thru on a sturday would have all its corners occupied, its a wonder we didnt have high cases of pneumonia!!!!!
