Hola people!
Well, in English today, the bell rang and Mr. Eldridge was not there…. but he arrived shortly after and asked right away why the Detail worksheets were not passed out. Hence, Christopher Rini soon was on the job. Ya, and then Jack Glasspoop squealed at the top of his lungs. haha [...]

Sorry it took me so long to post! I was really confused about this whole blog thing (lol). Hope I”m doing this right!

Well, after a long day of school and water polo victories (Varsity: 7-4, JV: 7-2, I left before the F/S game finished), here I am writing today’s scribe notes. Sorry if they’re a little long, but I’m bored and I don’t have as much homework as usual. The first notable incident today actually [...]

Our class began today with Callie laughing hysterically (not that this comes as a surprise haha). The cause of the laughter could be seen on the back of Alex’s Dunder Mifflin shirt; gum. After a good laugh, Tanner did his trophe of the day on Antanaclasis- the repetition of a word or word [...]
