APEnglish–Los Al

Well, today was once again a magical day in English, starting off by the class waiting outside because Mr. E was late, and while waiting Tristan threw a package of candy at me, awesome.  As we walked into the room, once again most of the class population started complaining about a rancid smell, which Keith and I seem to lack the ability to smell.  There were a number of new posters around the room, and Mr. E never said anything about them so I’m not going to worry about it.  Oh yeah then Tristan walked up to me and stabbed me in the arm with a pen that’s supposed to shock you when you click it, that was cool.  I then presented my trope of the day (I know, presenting a trope and writing the scribe on the same day, It’s amazing!  The odds are astronomical, but yeah it happened and I know you all are amazed.)  So my trope was litotes and I presented it pretty poorly, managed to insult Steven, and kept pronouncing litotes wrong because it is the way Mrs. Erami pronounced it like every day last year.  Following this, Winnie presented her trope, metaphor, and did a much better job than I did, and the class probably actually learned something.  We then went over the Syntax worksheet about this Chief Red Jacket dude who shunned white religion, and once again proved to be insightful.  We then talked about what everyone is going to choose to write about on the journal to essay thing due friday, and when we talked about what groups we belong to Mr. E said he was Danish and a barbarian, and seeing impaired.  Mr. E randomly dropped his pencil during this and Tristan used his like five foot long arm to retrieve it. (some random thing I noticed).  Ed once again let out the Zach Glasser NNNNNNNNRRRR war cry and then, once again thanks to Ed, we got into a discussion about ear sight.  Then because Winnie presented metaphor we talked about how the USSR was a metaphor for oppression and what not, and Anthony said it represented cool colors.  (Hmmmm red and gold, I wonder what that stands for) (I’m not a complete idiot.)  Sean Wang then spilled water all over his desk, and decided to try to blow the water off the desk onto the floor.  He then took a few laps around the room to look for something to clean up the water, failed, and then preceded to try to blow the water off the desk once again, followed by him finally using his jacked as a towel.  We then got back to the Syntax thing for discussion and Mr. E said something I missed about repetition and then proceeded to yell “NO” a bunch of times at Tristan.  While talking about repetition and “You say” from the syntax half of the Yahtzee table and I broke out into song to the Beatles.  Jordan presented his apply thing and managed to work in “hoochie mamma.”  Keith then poked Sean Wang when he was standing up, and then Mr. E asked him what he Sean was doing and then he sat down having difficulty getting his massive legs into the desk.  The Yahtzees and Tristan then started playing with the shocking pen and discovered you have to be holding the pen for the shock to actually work, you just can’t push the button.  When Mr. E asked who’s it was I think it was Ed who replied “Darth Nader” (sorry if I am incorrect and did not give you proper credit, you master of puns.)  Then Sean mumbled something that was impossible to understand and with that the bell rang and everyone scrambled to lunch.

I’m sorry that this was kind of long and I didn’t notice what shenanigans you did today.
