Write to live, live to write.


AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Wednesday, February 10, 2010


Lessons have started. Finally, I can hear you say. You've waited ages for them to begin. How come you've had three hundred tests and I just began lessons?
Our literature teacher is like a three year old on a sugar rush. For those of you who know su lao shi, it's like when he's all fired up about wenshi, just ten times worse. For those of you who know Le Yan, it's like when she's on sugar, just ten times worse. For those of you who know nothing, it's just pretty bad.
Our Geog teacher is also a psycho. It seems that the only requirement for an IH teacher is that you must be weird. She describes herself as anal and acts like she should have been teaching drama instead.
For Language Arts, all we did was watch the Matrix so I can't really say how that lesson is going to be like. I can say, however, that I do not like the Matrix.
For the three sciences we have nice, engaging teachers. Mr Boy is the kind of person my dad would like, serious and subtly passionate about his subject. Showed us a very interesting double-slit experiment, in which he explained using machine guns. The picture he used, though, was not of a machine gun but of an M16. I know that nobody cares.
We're all broken up for Chinese. Our teacher is bloody stern. And weird. She wants us to find out the meaning of our Chinese names. Mine is 'rich victorious beautiful piece of jade'. That's obviously literally translated or it would actually make sense. She also says we're going to write a lot of zuo wens. DIE.
That's about all the teachers I have. (Math is so normal and boring I won't even bother mentioning her. Except that I got a chance to recite pi during her class.)

~Today in History~
Today in 1840 Queen Victoria married Prince Albert. In 1906 the HMS Dreadnought was launched. In 1954 Eisenhower warned against US intervention in Vietnam. Fools, not to have listened.

~Quote of the Day~
I said, to the people of the Philippines whence I came, I shall return. Tonight, I repeat those words: I shall return!
Blah blah blah, Doug McArthur. Big words for a big ego.

~Useless fact of the Day~
A rock fan who paid one thousand pounds for a guitar signed by Queen's Brian May rubbed off the signature with his sleeve when he played it.
