NOM BUNNIES NOM

Does anyone want to come to McDonald's with me after school?






Doesn't that look deeeeeeeeelicious? Yum yum yum. AND, there is only a 74.56358465496856798445378459345879687 % chance that the "meat" inside of the BigMacs is bunny meat. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?



Also, by coming to McDonald's with me you would receive the following:



a) an awesome car ride with me (please note that as per "The Rules of Sarah's Car", whoever has shotgun gets to control the music).



b) a trip through the exciting metropolis of New Glasgow



c) a random dance party



*Please note that there is a disadvantage in this endeavour, as if we go to the WalMart McDonald's, we may have the unfortunate chance of seeing Kara. However, this could be avoided by the following:



a) killing her right now *cough Mike cough*



b) dressing as ninjas so she will not see us and be compelled to start a conversation



c) go to the other McDonald's.





That is all.

Also in French Class.

Oui, oui.

Fin.

In French Class

I'm in French class.

The end.

News Article

So Holly, Ms. Deyoung and I got interviewed for The News yesterday. I had no idea I was going to be interviewed, utill Ms. Deyoung told me to go down to Mr. Green's office. What was an even bigger surprise to me, however, was opening up the paper this morning to discover that the article was dead wrong on a number of points: 
“I was bored with my academics,” he said. “I didn’t pay much attention in Pre-IB, but Mrs. Hanley made me put my best effort into my papers and really made me work. This is when my involvement really changed.” 
Despite what those quotation marks may imply, these are not the words I used - what on earth does "this is when my involvement really changed" even mean? 

But Wigginton said... the program has helped his social skills
This is an outright fabrication. Unlike the above 'quote', I never even said anything to that effect. The paragraph even goes on to say that I'm involved in "leading the health team"  What on earth is a health team?

Holly Mathias ... will be heading to York University in the fall...
She quite clearly said she was going to Queen's.

“I’ve had a very strong work ethic and been a well-rounded student,”
Maybe I'm wrong on this one, but I pretty sure she didn't say this.

There are currently 14 students enrolled in Northumberland’s IB program...  
Nope

Northumberland Regional High School is the only school in the Chignecto region to offer the Pre-IB and IB programs...
It is also offered at CEC. 
 There were some smaller errors of fact and grammar but I think y'all get the picture by now. Anywho, this just really makes me wonder how accurate the other articles in The News are. After all, if this simple, short interview was full paraphrasings masquerading as quotes,  multiple errors in reporting the facts (ex: 14 IB students) and even some outright fabrication, how egregious are the errors in more important articles?
