Snackage...Ting-Ting

Alan: "O.R.P., does that stand for 'Old Rich People'?

Pier Pressure

Essay Question: How does violence change three characters selected from our reading? You may compare and contrast yourself with two characters if you so choose.

Essay Answer: "For example, Emily Grierson emotionally changes, the narrator from A Party Down at the Square changes through violent pier pressure, and I myself become dynamic emotionally, pier pressure and lots of other things."

Tom-Brady (v.)

Today we had a leadership conference for interested juniors; the event took the entire day. This left me with much smaller class sizes.

The boys (and, to be fair, I as well) immediately set about attempting hopelessly long-distance shots. Upon her turn, Amber Reed went about ten feet away from the recycle bin and threw the ball in forcefully. Jarrod Clausen provided adept color commentary:

"Damn she straight Tom-Bradied that mug right in there!"

Chipotle and Race Relations
