Hilarious Story
It's not going under a cut because I think you should all read it and laugh with me. :D
So dad comes home from an impossibly long school day at like, 8:30pm. He's an elementary teacher and he had afterschool to teach afterwards plus a PTA meeting right after that PLUS an hour drive home. (Did I mention the hour drive there?) So yeah... he was pretty wrecked- don't blame him.
Anyway, he comes into the kitchen as I'm washing up the dishes and tells me that he got in trouble for writing notes today. I laughed because aren't teachers supposed yell at the kids for that? He he.
So he says he didn't really get in trouble but this is what happened-
He was walking down the hall after this impossibly long day and by this time was nearly going stir-crazy having been inside the school building for like 10 hours or whatever and he passes the nurse's room. Well, the nurse was off sick that day.
I interrupted his story at this point to smile, laugh, and comment about how it's ironic that the school nurse was off sick. Funny, right?
Well, he continues with the story and says that he just couldn't help himself- he had to do something to break up the monotony of the day, plus it really was funny- so he pulls a pen out of his pocket and writes on the note that was stuck to the door saying the nurse was off sick. He wrote "ha ha."
So I'm smiling at this point and think, so that's the entire story. Well, he goes away then on his way back he realizes that maybe that could be taken as him being really mean- laughing at the nurse's sickness. So he amends his note to say "Ha ha- how ironic." Now, as you can imagine, I was laughing so hard by this point because that's exactly what I just said. And he's laughing too.
But it turns out that the head teacher of his department (or whatever she is) was back in her room by the time dad wrote on the note a second time. She saw him scribbling and later told everyone about it and confronted dad. Poor guy thought he was alone in the corridor and he'd get away with it- no one would guess it was him, and it turns out he was graffiting the sign right in front of his semi-quasi-boss. *snort*
But I think the best part of that was that I said exactly the same thing he did. Ah, great minds think alike/ like father like daughter.
/amusing tale.

In other news- I hate the web program I use for my math class. Apparently you have to enter your answers in exactly the right format or it's wrong (even if your answer is still technically right) and EVEN (I found out after about 3 days of going crazy trying to figure out why my answer to the easiest question was wrong, despite the fact that all my friends got the same answer too) marks the right answer as wrong.
I mean, there's only one way you can write "-39". I get a big X near my answer with the right answer written next to it: "-39". SAME BLOODY ANSWER! I'm def. arguing my case to my teacher for the extra points. SIGH. It shouldn't be this stressful. If it marks your right answers as wrong, how are you supposed to tell when you just don't get the question and are doing it wrong?? GRAR.

So the Backstreet Boys have a song about God? Huh. Cool. (My album doesn't come with the song "Backstreet's Back" :'( )
I had a 6 day weekend this labor day and I only had one day of classes this week. How cool is that? And I just realized today that my wish has finally come true- you know how kids at school always say why can't we go to school for two days and have five off instead of the other way around? Yeah.... I get five days off a week now and go to classes twice a week. Ha ha. Go me. Even if it's just for this semester, I've won! Heh. Sorry to rub it in your faces. :( Won't happen again, promise.
Okay, Scrubs time. Thanks for reading.
