Big Cars

Today was supposed to be a great day, but since Psychology has now been swapped with Economics we didn't get much action. Pretty dull day, really. However, there was one thing that happened.

During Economics class Mr. Rugg was looking for an example to show us how people care more about their things than other (as if we didn't know that already) and he says, "well, suppose I give you a car, but not to each one, one car for all" and Daniel interrupts by saying, "that has to be a big car, a van so that we can all fit" and then Rodrigo says the only funny thing he's said this week: "he's gonna give us the Scooby Doo van!" and we all start laughing. By all I mean the students, because Rugg just stared at Rodrigo in amazement (he spent a long time in Brazil, he shouldn't have been so surprised) for a while and then said calmly, "no, you're not getting the Scooby Doo van..." Can you imagine us riding in that van? Trying to solve crimes and all? That would be a massive disaster, I'd rather not think of that.

Old Fun

So let's remember weird teachers, shall we? Nobody can beat our beloved French teacher, Mme Sedek. Everytime we did something that she didn't approve of she would yell "diez puntos menos!" Eddie even made her a yellow card so she could book us instead of yelling all the time. The thing was, that she never took points off the tests, because if that were the case at least half the class would've flunked the class. I know I would've...

When she noticed she couldn't make us fear her by taking away virtual 10 points every ten minutes, she had to take more drastic measures, such as threatening to send us the Mr. Newton's office and other stuff. The most famous of these was taking points off the AP test. You can just see her calling up a French mate over at the College Board and saying "eh? College Board? Quietenle diez puntos a..." yeah, that's what I meant...
