Summer Books!

Today, June 14th 2010, we all recieved (or should have recieved) our IB English summer books... Personally, I was really pumped for this (or maybe it was just the sleep deprivation after studying all night) because WE JUST GOT OUR FIRST ASSIGNMENT EVER IN IB. Basically. It's pretty exciting, so let the joys of IB begin!!! :)

(After exams of course)

I love this song - it reminds me of how utterly screwed my life is.

Pi Day!

Apparently, there is an unofficial holiday to celebrate pi on March 14 (eve of the ides of March... OMG). March 14 was chosen because March is the third month, and the fourteenth makes the shorthand version of 3/14. You know you're in IB when the first thing you think about when you read about pi day, is that we have to celebrate it with a real pie just like the one above.

School is INTENSE

A conversation that occurred directly before today's math test.

Dylan: That's easy, it's one-quarter-

Dylan and Mike together: n-s-squared-tan-90-minus-180-over-n

Dylan: BAMM!!!!

Mike: Props buddy!

*fist pound*

I am not proud of this, but it did in fact happen.





Later in the day, before our geography quiz, I lead a payer to our god Janel, one of this year's IB graduates.

Mike: Join hands everyone.

*Mike, Kati, Brandon and Dylan clasp hand and bow their heads*

Mike: Dear Janel, our god in IB, please impart upon us the knowledge to pass this quiz. Let your holy knowledge guide our hands as we label the countries of southeast Asia, so that we may avoid the bitter sting of failure. In your holy name we pray, Amen.



I plan on doing this before all of my exams.

Responding to Teacher's Blogs

It's sad enough when the most exciting part of your night consists of posting a comment on a blog, but it's even sadder when that blog belongs to your English teacher (Mrs. Hanley is awesome though).... and you actually CARE about what you're saying.... only in IB...
