More This and That

Life Lesson #1:
Don't touch things that aren't yours to touch, because you might end up breaking it.

So yea, you might of already guessed...I broke something. But in truth I didn't mean to, and I didn't know I broke it until after it was already broken. So in reality I don't think I should be accused so harshly for accidentally breaking it. What's the thing I broke?

Here's the deal. In my French class we were assigned a project dealing with "French speaking" countries. My group couldn't decide on what country to do our project on so I, being the problem solver kinda girl that I am, went over to one of those pull down maps. You know, the maps the teachers have in front of the class that you can pull down and they swipe back up? Well I sort of broke it. Whoops! I pulled the map past the point of no return, as in I pulled it down past the big fat letters that said, "STOP, DON'T PULL ANY FURTHER".

So yea, It's just hanging there, and it won't go back up. My teacher yelled, others laughed, and I found out that those things cost around $300 bucks. I'm pretty much in big trouble. I have to go tomorrow morning and try to get it to go back up. I have my fingers crossed. Wish me luck, because being a poor person and all, I don't have $300 bucks to go spending on a new flipping map.

Life Lesson #2
Never tell a person ''no offense.'' Because 9 times out of 10, that person's going to be offended.

This week was one of my more boring weeks then most. Nothing really exciting happened but the usual, usual. Even though this week was a dull one, I never fail on saying or doing the wrong things.

For Example: Monday, I was in my 6th period class, doing the assignment on the board, when I started to smell a nasty funkiness. It smelled like wet dog/outside/sweat. Without thinking I looked at my friend siting beside me and was like,"Do you smell that? Something smells really bad." Right after I said that, the girl in front of me whipped around and said "Yea it's me."

Not thinking, again, I pulled out some body spray I had in my purse and started spraying it like crazy... sensing that I reacted a little too abruptly, I asked her during sprays, "Ya want some of my body spray? It smells really good." I couldn't tell if the girl was ticked off or totally embarrassed, so I told her that I was sorry for saying that she smelled, but no offense, she did. She just smiled and said that she just came from P.E. and that I wasn't the first person to tell her that she kinda smelled bad. I know...close one right?!

So even though, 9 times out of 10, saying "no offense" will usually result in a person being offended, you can always be that 1 person out of 10 who gladly appreciates you telling them that you smelled in class.

Thanks again P.E. girl for being that 1 out of 10 people who didn't get offended by my unthinkably rash actions and words.

In other news.....HOMECOMING is this weekend!!!

I am so excited. There is going to be so much going on! Friday night is the alumni/faculty/students puff football game and Saturday is homecoming, we’ll find out who the homecoming King and Queen are at halftime and after the game there is a dance in the auditorium. Woot woot! I am so glad I don’t have a lot of homework or studying to do this weekend! :)

A group of us will be going to the dance. It should be loads of fun! Saturday morning my girls and I will be getting our nails and hair done. I'll be sure and post pictures sometime next week.

I can't believe they are going to make you pay for the stupid map. That could happen to anyone even the teacher. Since you are a good talker, you should convince them it is a defect in the manufacture of the map and that's why it won't retract.

So now I have to wonder if PE stench girl is going to figure out what she's going to do next time she's got PE class so she doesn't go around all stinky for the rest of the day.

Wow - homecoming sounds like a big event. Cool dealio! That is so very true about the no offense clause... I use it often and as you point out, I shouldn't!!!
I hope you get the map to work... They really would make you pay for it? I am surprised to hear that to be perfectly honest. Isn't that what everyone pays taxes for?
