the last week of school has been remarkably educational, ironically enough.
i have learned:
1. that saying something implies that you mean it
2. that blog-fighting is the literally the dumbest thing ever
3. that mr. lee really does think that everything is about him, connected to him, and caused, even if indirectly, by him
4. that korean pop is vastly underrated
5. that even candidates for Ms. Universe have to deal with gravity at some point
6. that oreo cake and rice krispie treat dough is not a good combination (unless a killer stomachache is your one dream in this world)
7. that my hair has no pity for me--even on my birthday
8. that michael buble is dating emily blunt, and that to compete i'm going to have to get very friendly with the cube-of-cheese strategy
9. that i'm fear-inducing (talk about depressing :S)
10. that "scourge of the earth" is actually preferable to "pimpleface" when it comes to cruel but deserved nicknames
11. that jae hee has good taste in stuffed bears

haha i know we're not supposed to talk about dennis, but his facial expression when lena so brilliantly asserted that "confuse-shus" was missing an E was priceless.

mr bramlett: *sing-song voice* i am so smart, i am so smart, SMRT, SMRT
hee jin: *contorted, concentrated face* wait...hahaha he spelled it wrong!!! hahaha
amanda: *gives hee jin the patented amanda-spots-an-idiot glare*

...the next day...
miguel: (upon walking into ms mili's office) soy guapo.
me: *snickers audibly*

i witnessed a fight!! at SIS!! between a 6th grader and an 8th grader, but still. rafael jones and jackie (or pablo, depending on your allegiances). it was a full-fledged fight. the 6th grade bully just cried and cried, digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole as he tried to get himself out of trouble by pinning the whole thing on poor jackie. hilarious. i couldn't stop laughing. ms armstrong's face upon running outside to keep little rafael, the bully, from continuing to punch jackie in the stomach (since he couldn't reach his face) was priceless.
