Oh my God...that was EXTREMELY mean...I don't think any of my teachers would do something quite that extreme...well, now that I think of it, there's this kid in my grade who has ADHD reeeeeaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyy severely, and my Spanish teacher basically makes fun of him to his face...
My friend Natalie speaks fluent Spanish, so she always translates the movies we watch for me :)
This is different, but it kinda relates to what we're talking about...
In English, my teacher (she's from London) always talks about how we should be awesome at grammar because if we're "native English speakers" then we should be able to tell when a sentence sounds wrong...
But whenever she says the "Native English speakers" thing, she looks STRAIGHT at Natalie (who grew up speaking Spanish), and my best friend HaeMee (who grew up speaking Korean)
Yeah, my Spanish sucks too...We've been taking it for nine years at my school though.
So kindergarten through 4th grade, we had one teacher. Every single year she taught us the same things over and over: the colors, the numbers, the days of the week, and the months of the year, but only if we were good.
Fifth grade til now (8th grade), we have another teacher. Instead of teaching us, she gives us a worksheet of verbs at the beginning of the year, tells us to memorize them, then sits on her fat lazy ass eating in front of us, texting (she keeps her phone in her bra...), and TELLING us how much she's teaching us, and how grateful we're going to be to her in high school.
So yeah, my Spanish sucks.
Whoa. I WISH I had family on another continent. The farthest away I have close family is Virginia. And I live in Maryland. I mean, I have second and third cousins in California and I think South Dakota, but that's about it. Oh, and my uncle twice removed or something lives in Canada...but I've never met him, so it's not like I can go visit him...
That's so cool!!!! I've never even been off the East Coast...farthest north I've ever been is Pennsylvania (well, I'm going to New York City this summer), farthest south is Orlando, and farthest west is...well, West Virginia.
All my friends at school are really filthy rich, and they've all been to other countries like, four times a year (I'm not even joking, they don't even have family... Seriously, some of the parents are like, 'Oh, it's my birthday, we're going to India for a week and a half,' and then they get out of school.)
Ohmygosh, I WISH I saw Alex at the grocery store :)
And my mom really doesn't care one way or the other about them, because my two older sisters listen to ATL too, so she knows they're guys...
My friend Jackie met Alex in Hot Topic at the mall once...They were buying the same wristband, so she was like, "Hi! You're Alex Gaskarth, right?" and he nodded, and she kinda...freaked out and started crying. But he gave her a hug so then she was reallllylyyyyy excited the next day at school...
Yeah, now whenever I meet/see him, he's like "TRICIA! YOU'RE THE GIRL WHO DROPPED OREOS ON ME!" so I say "Is that all you're ever going to remember me for?"
ooh, that stinks :( (the bruise, I mean)
I went to Hershey Park for band trip on Friday, and when I was on the roller coasters, I must've done something wierd, because I pulled like, three muscles, so I was all sore during the concert...
Ah, I know, I was freaking out the entire time I was meeting them...Except for Jack. Because I've met them all a few times, but Jack always remembers me because 1)my hair is kickass curly and 2) I saw him at the grocery store once...I was wearing my All Time Low shirt, and he was getting cookies, and I was trying to find my mom, and then he was like "Hi! Cool shirt!" and I was like "OHMYGOD YOU'RE JACK BARAKAT!" and then I accidentally dropped a package of Oreos on his foot...yeah, it was special...
I KNOWWW :) It was honestly the best concert I've ever been to...
DID YOU MEET THEM??? (I mean, yeah, I see the "I MET ALEX FUCKING GASKARTH LAST NIGHT!" thing, but I was wondering if that was from last night...
God, I'm so tired...I have to go to Mass this morning really early :p
Except I missed like, half of Yellowcard's set because there was a really fucking long line in the bathroom...
NOOO WAYYYY!!!! You're going to the May 7th ATL concert??? ME TOO!!!! Cuz I live in MD, and my friend's older sister actually went to school with them, so...I've met them a few times :)
Anyway, I just wanted to say that's awesome that you're going too :)
