Done With Night School!
They said the best classes go to the fastest
Sorry Mr. West there's no good classes
And that's what yo ass get
Not even electives, not even prerequisites
You mean I missed my major by a couple of seconds
Now I'm in the shop class or the basket-weaving
With all the rest of the mo'er fuckers underachieving
Man this is an insult
I went to junior high with all of them
And they been slow

So like in the second week of school Bananasack calls me up to his office to tell me I can’t graduate without another PE credit. I always knew this day would come but I held out hope that they’d give me a waiver because I did varsity basketball for four years. Didn’t happen and instead of punking out and swimming in third period I opted for night school at Miami High. The class went well, I got an A, learned some Spanish and pumped some iron.
Last night we had a sub so I brought my basketball and went into the gym to shoot jumpers for like an hour. This gym is crazy: Miami High puts out more college players than MAST puts out scientists so you could really feel the history and tradition in the gym. It felt like a dream because since there was no school last night they had the gym lights off. It must’ve been 120 degrees in there and the lights from the neighborhood came through the window making some scary shadows and lighting up all the State Championship banners. I felt like I was in a movie.
Here are some notes I took from my experience at the school:
-The first day of class when I couldn’t find the room I thought that the only people that spoke English at the school were the black kids. I learned a good deal of the kids there actually can speak it though.
- There’s an Asian kid (Represent!) on the JV basketball team there.
- One wing of the school with the mechanic shop and the hair dressing class is called “VocationLand”
- I was the only person under 35 who parked in the employee’s parking lot because it was well lit and there was a guard
-Kids putting graffiti on the wheelchair elevator thing is pretty lame
-The artwork of George Washington and all these kids when you walk in the school is incredible
-My people there told me that the only kids at Miami High that like reggaeton either just got off the boat or are girls. To say the least that devastated me. Still everyone drives by the school with reggaeton on really loud so I guess they’re just embarrassed they listen to it
- My class was full of underachievers, dropouts, knuckleheads and teenage mothers who smoke cigarettes before class but some of the kids were pretty funny
-Everybody in my class has a job: there’s a kid who works the graveyard shift at a gas station and goes to school the next day; a Pollo Tropical employee; a Pet Supermarket person and a kid at the LeJeune movie theatre
-For a school with such a rich athletic tradition they have a pretty shitty weight room; I’d take ours over theirs anyday
-There is one kid at the school who looks like something from a movie: He’s black, probably 6’5 300 with gold teeth and best of all he’s missing a leg
- A few nights ago my buddies and I got bored and decided to walk around the school. We went up to the third floor where we encountered a black security guard woman with a moustache, gold teeth and she spoke Spanish fluently
-Occasionally there’d be a pickup game at the gym with NBA players like Raja Bell and Tim Hardaway; you’d know they were there because they had the only nice cars in the zip code
- I finally met someone who watches the Simpsons in SAP lol
