Attention, Germany!
1. Your language needs updates. Banish the case system, and forget about genders! Until then, I have a good hobby.
2. Brent te Velde can now travel your railways for 25% cheaper.
3. Exchange students are taking over, and you don't know it.
So, today in school, we had German traffic class instead of Biology and Latin (sweeet!), it was a bit similar to D.A.R.E. or G.R.E.A.T., except the teacher was intelligent, and it only had to do with traffic. We watched a ghetto video (1991) about this group of teenagers that tests this new car out, drives extremely recklessly, and eventually crashes it in a clearing after plunging off the road, killing one of the passengers. We then were split into groups, and given tasks to complete about the story. We had to list the serious and less-serious mistakes that the people made in the story. There were two German girls (fairly hot) in our group besides me, Nunt and Morgan (all exchangies), so the German girls were doing most the work, and they listed all these technical mistakes that they made, like exceeding the speed limit, swerving in the opposite lane, driving without a license, and I thought, if we had to do this in the U.S., we would only talk about the attitudes of the teenagers, and why that let to their ultimate demise. I suggested their attitudes toward the car as a mistake, and the girls were like, chuckle, that's all of these. Interesting. I know German drivers are faster but safer because they study driving theory more, but are there fewer young driver accidents because of it too? Is there a smaller occurence of reckless teenage driving in Germany? The police officer teaching the class said that the percentage of car accidents are consistently 30% from drivers from 18-25 in Germany, I don't know what the the number is in the U.S.
Then, in Math class, we got back our tests from Monday, I was the very last to get mine back, and the teacher said that I did better than most of the rest of the class *grins, now out of school* The class is so butt-easy as long as I understand the German in the question. I didn't study, of course.
And, to be further narcissistic, more quotes:
Aaron, in German class: "How do Nunt and Morgan entertain themselves?!"
Brent: "They don't, they're dead inside."
Brent: "Don't worry, I could take Bitchboy. I'm not sure about his girlfriend, though."
Somebody else say something funny!!!
Ooh, just remembered, got quote from a friend , Shirley, taking French in the Oklahoma. Shout out to Shirley and Evan! (and the whole gang)
Host mom: "Ooh, I love this song!" (Puff the Magic Dragon plays on radio)

Heh, in French, Evan cracked me up today. See, we were about to take a quiz
over professions, so...The conversation went like:
Me: "Est-ce que tu es mannequin?" (Are you a model?)
Evan: "...Oui. *nods head*"
Me: "Ah bon? C'est vrai?" (Oh really, is that true?)
Evan: "Oui, j'ai beaucoup poitrines."
(at this point I cracked up... he said "Yes, I have a lot of bosoms.") And, remembered anothah!Host mom: "Ooh, I love this song!" (Puff the Magic Dragon plays on radio)
