From the moment in first hour on Monday morning that I saw what my French teacher had written on the board ------> "lundi, le 2 octobre-c'est l'anniversaire de Sting! Il a 49 ans." I knew that meant trouble. Promptly I discovered that our school's air conditioning had broken that morning, and when you live in the desert where it's still 98 degrees that's no good. Then I knew The Wrath Of Sting was upon us. True, I don't get this nervous when it's, say, Morrissey's birthday, but then again what pop star this side of George Michael could inspire such terror? I tried to plod through the day avoiding mishap, but no use. I got a 65 on a math quiz, on stuff I knew well. I lost my good pen. The computer in newspaper was jammed and I couldn't print out my article. When I got home I tripped and fell, banging my head on the coach. It even took me a long time to get to bed, because my fan was suddenly and mysteriously broken. So if you had a bad day Monday, don't blame it on a friend or a teacher or yourself-blame it on Sting!!
