Approximately one month ago I began attending the Fredrick Banting Alternate School in Kanata. Upon arriving at this school I was shocked and alarmed to discover that this school hosted more than one race - so clearly I regretted bringing my three hundred dollar disc man to the building of higher education. As I was already suffering from "culture shock" my seating arrangements were not considered preferable - as I was placed between to Asian males. Through my childhood I was only familiar with one Asian person, and it was Alex Johnson who enjoyed to read, write, do math problems and stick his hands down his pants and then sniff his fingers, and in my youth the two Asians I have befriended I have referred to as Alex Johnson, because it's widely known that all Chinese people look the same, so they might as well share a common name. At first break I decided to cancel my subscription to TSN after witnessing Victor Ong boxing with no opponent outside of the classroom window - When he returned to class I asked what it was that he was training for - and was greeted with no response. The following day our teacher Lorraine received a phone call from Victor stating that he did not wish to continue this course, perhaps it was thanks to the utter humiliation, but at least her learned a valuable lesson, just because you can't see through the blinds into the classroom, doesn't mean that we can't see out. Surprisingly Stephen Wong and I developed a friendship over the course of the .. well .. course - Stephen was in attendance every day, but managed to complete only two out of eight major assignments, and as I had completed the course early and with 95% I decided that I should complete all of Alex Johnson # 2's oustanding assigments, this was accomplished in a four hour time frame.
