Originally posted by CFCI got in trouble in PE too. The teacher would tell us to "Run a Lap" and i would consider the options and either run down-town and read comic books at the apothacary or run to the airport and go flying for the rest of the day. PE teacher never had a sense of humor about that. Especially when i thumbed a ride back from the airport. He taught drivers ed, you see.🙄 which was kind of funny. Every kid in the class had at least a hundred thousand miles of driving experience by the time they took his class. He wrecked the drivers ed car twice on ice covered roads. Californian. Never seen snow, never mind 40 below ice roads.What really confused the hell out of him though was that we never had a single stop light in the town. He would pretend that there was one and yell "Green!" or "Yellow" at various times. We were supposed to come to a halt in the middle of the block or wherever to show that we understood traffic lights. The entire school took it upon themselves to hit the brakes, sqreeching to horrendous, heart stopping skidding stops every time he yelled any color, including "Green!"... some fun, that.
Home time!😀😛 Seriously, I like PE. It's the only subject where you can do what you want.

In Pe, when they tell us to run a lap I just get my group of friends and we walk talking.
Also I once flicked a piece of rubber at one of my teacher when she was looking in the cupboard. She went mad!😛😛😛

Let's see...I got my schedule and I've got Chemistry, AP English, Multivariable Calculus, French, US History, Philosophy, Music Theory, and AP Stats.....but I also have 2 more weeks 😀!

Originally posted by CFCI can have sympathy for you. If the essay is on "Why War Is Bad" and you use humor... oops... The Teach probably will not see any humor. There is humor in all things, even war. Because one of the main roots of humor is sadism... that is to say, "The Misery And Sorrow Of Others". A key to whether humor works in any given situation is wheather or not a person is "really" hurt or damaged. If they are, then we are not allowed to laugh. If no harm done... then it is humorous. Kind of weird as to what different people consider funny or not funny.

Like the joke the other day in the forums... I apologize because i can't remember the poster's name... where a whole line of people "wished to be beautiful" and the last guy in line was laughing. When it got to his turn he wished to "make them all ugly again." That is mild sadism and quite funny. If he had wished "Kill them all" then real harm to the line of wishers cancels the humorous aspect in most peoples minds.

Originally posted by bbarrEr, Bennett. Sorry to give any false impressions about the quality of Maine School Administrative District #71 😛. Looks as though Stats is just going to get tacked on by just taking the test cold--I need to pad my transcript with SOMETHING. The Multivariable Calc is a correspondence course out of Stanford. The Music Theory and Philosophy are independent studies (good program that!)--I just want to read more rigourously, so that my thoughts can be guided by more than a smattering of things I pick up here and there. To start, I'm writing a few essays just based on any ideas, and then research whose writings would relate to the things I discuss. Then I can read and kind of revise my thinking, as well as absorbing a few of the ideas of history's more czaba elements. Large schedule 'cause I'm graduating this year.

"Social Protest". Cool. I assume there were some placard-production prerequisites 😉? Where'd you go to school?
And Tony, the interesting things written in Spanish pale in comparison to the quantity of those written in French. Against Descartes, Camus, Poincare, Pascal (ok--crazed religious nut but still rather interesting), Sartre, etc. you can maybe muster Cervantes 😛
