omg I choked from laughter today in Hardaker's class!

He like amuses himself now when he teaches since he's now gotten himself a headset and surround sound to teach with in his class... and it was SO funny because halfway through the lesson a messenger from Mr. Billing's class tells him that he's got a phone call from his girlfriend!

So after all of the class recovers from uncontrollable laughter, he continues on with his lesson with his usual jokes... but then he slipped in some TERRIBLE innuendo. I just couldn't stop laughing since it was SO dirty! He was like "... and Copper Hydroxide. Acid or base? You'd think it's a base on paper, but in truth it can actually go both ways. It's the King of Bases."

To make matters worse, several minutes after that when I had managed to control myself, his phone rings and we all start laughing again. So he just talks on the phone in front of the class (since he still has the headset on so we'd hear him speak anyway)... and then everyone starts whispering saying it's his girlfriend. Then he goes "Thanks Steve, goodbye." EVERYONE laughing so much!

But the WORST part was what he said afterwards. He was like "That was my friend Steve. You may not realize, but I don't always just teach. He is a friend I met in the Navy."

Seriously, me and Carl were just crying from laughter!

Now it's time for the big debate. Either do my English homework or play some Caesar IV...

What English homework?

[JGJTan]

That Gatsby language stuff.

And then I gotta print out the good copy of all my IGCSE Portfolio stuff.

Oh, cool.

I need to make a draft, since I delete all my drafts... *scrunches up a bit of refill and writes messily on it*

Well, that and the artist gets only a tiny fraction of the royalties from music sales anyway. (For the vast majority of major-label artists anyway; ridiculously-successful artists tend to get better deals, and indie labels tend not to screw their artists over so much.)

(This political message has been brought to you by Übernostrom.)

Only ubersuccessful musicians make decent money. And they usually don't deserve it.

I've finally gotten the hang of Caesar IV and now it's getting addictive...

I had to force myself to quit the game otherwise I'd never get my homework done.

Tutorgroupwork/intervalwork/lunchwork

[JGJTan]

That's what I plan to do.

Although, we only have the first two since we have English before lunch tomorrow.

Almost 24 hours with no post!

23 hours infact! Exactly

[Ratty]

Yea.
