To Be Or Not To Be

I had an German dictation today. About the Amish and, well...how do you translate "die Hutterer" anyway?
Also had an English test, a free elective test. I chose a text about U.S. schools who were failing in education. The test was hard; I had to translate some parts from Dutch to English and from English to Dutch. The German/English teacher is mad. Mad in the English sense.
"The Story Tent" came to our school. I believe the performer's name is Alastair Daniel. He involved the students in the play. What play you ask? Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. He told us the story of 'Hamlet' and some students were involved in it. They had to copy what he was saying. "You say this...", bla, bla, bla, "you say that...".
He also said this: "Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt". It reminded me of Macca in 'A Hard Day's Night'. I didn't know the quote was from 'Hamlet'.
*hits herself repeatedly*

That's all I wanted to say.
