I made a couple new icon things, in case you guys hadn't noticed. Soap's and Jesuit's are done, so two more to go!
Just feeling totally burned out from school. Way too many projects and tests and requirements to do before finals. But I thought I'd give and update on the middle east and the status of my child.
So I ended up getting a boy. Of course. Pretty much every person in the class got the opposite of what they wanted.But really, if I had gotten a girl I wouldn't have actually named her Gyna. I probably would have gone with Calliope or something. But no such luck, I got a boy. Anyway, I named him Quixote (middle name is Amadeus). Isn't that great though? There's even some alliteration with my last name. And that's just the height of cool, yeah?
But his baby book is coming along fabulously. Caboose and attest to the fact that it's just plain the best baby book ever made by an 11th grader. It's covered in alligators and all hand made! So of course it's the best. I know Sop will probably try to make her own baby book when she gives birth (she's so competitive) but it won't be as good as mine ('cause she ain't got no in with the alligators). Just saying.
The Iranian defo wants to be friends. Not sure I really want to deal with it. HE CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH. Not exactly a primo situation. But also soon the semester will change and we'll never see eachother.
But maybe next year we'll have classes again and he'll have spontaeneously learned english. Is that wishful thinking?
I hear you on the school thing. I think we're all feeling extremely stressed (minus maybe S, who hasn't said a word about it, haha). And congrats on the baby boy! I want to see this book when you're done :P
ReplyDeleteExactly how much English can this Iranian not speak? I mean, he obviously understands enough to be in health in the first place. And I bet he understands "hey, how's your day going?"
Try it out :P
No, he does not understand that much. He sits in class staring at his desk or out the window because he does not understand a word anyone is saying. He knows a few simple words but doesn't understand sentence structure, so i doubt he can really process anything we say at the speed we talk.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the Iranian. He does look longingly at us every day at lunch! ):
ReplyDeleteDon't cramp my caboose!
I just remembered today on the way out that I have to flipping rewrite all the answers to the questions about Mark Twain because mine are jumbled and make no sense! STUPID ENGLISH, WHAT THE HECK.
I did decide what I'm satirizing, though. Whoo...
ugh, I know. I feel like english has given us soooo much hw for the week before finals it's ridiculous! like there's already like three things due next week in english.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait for the weekend after finals! No homework!
OH MY GOD YOU ARE RIGHT.
