Period 4
So I had this song stuck in my head all day; it’s called INFORMER by SNOW, just incase you wanted to go look it up. It’s really good btw. Anyway, in class today we did our usual syntax ws. OH hahahah want to hear something funny? Of course you do. Well E asked T “What is the meaning of the sentence (in the worksheet)?”…T’s response….”ah….slow?” hehehe idk that slow was a meaning?. Guess you had to be there, but I promise you I was laughing. (no hard feelings T, it was just a joke) Then we went back to elementary school and learned that GASP! a comma, is, used, to, seperate, words, or, clauses, and that a gerund ising aing wording thating endsing ining -ing. Jordan presented his trope on PARALIPSIS, which just so happens to be Eldy’s fav trope. An example of this trope would be: Let’s not mention the bizarre noises that were coming out of Ed’s mouth in the beginning of the period, but instead move onto discuss the lovely day Eldy planned for us. And indeed it was a lovely day, because, well.. it’s election day! Are you not dying to know who the next president is?
And OLIVIA! where were you???!?!?!! I had no one to share my jokes about you know who with. 
tear tear.
and today at lax, I heard about your little joke today dylan lee.
hahhaaa nice.

Period 5
Election Day!!!!
Today is indeed election day, though it was calm compared to yesterday’s excitement. No one got kicked out of class today, though Ryan Cady came pretty close. My group once again claimed the couch, because Ryan and Alex are just no match for us =). As usual, we did a syntax worksheet, and Dylan surprised us all with a lovely example of how punctuation and capitalization can change the meaning of a sentence. Zachglasser’s essay failure was brought up again as he was forced to be in a group to dicuss it (how does it feel to be normal?). “Barbie” thinks that yellow is Mr. Eldridge’s color, and informed the class that she is not Japanese (in case we had any doubts).

Good example of paralipsis. Does anybody else feel a personal connection to the trope they presented? It’s like my…my child. Yes.
Let’s not focus on how insane I am, let’s just talk.

JORDAN!!
i do. Kay, so in physics, Mr. Eisenberg hates ASB and choir kids, so we were talking about them and i asked Eisenberg if he hated dancers as well and then some crazy kid named Brad Decker said, “I’m not even going to say how estranged dancers are” (or something like that) and i yelled ooOOoo you just used a paralipisis and then i explained it all to them…then they looked at me like some sort of nerd…
but whatever. hehe
