(x^2 - 2x - 15)

And then?

So I was walking around tutoring again, and I pass by this kid I’ve known since last year, who likes to talk to me sometimes, or hail me down for a question that he might not actually need the answer to.
Kid: Want to hear a joke?
Me: Sure!
Kid: (to Kid 2 across the table) Hey I’m [...]

Spotty and update

I’ve been really spotty lately. Last week I was really sick so I didn’t get to go to a lot of the schools I work at. I think I had the flu, and I think the flu is going around. Have to be careful…But if I’ve had the flu already that means I’m good for [...]

Star Wars

Am I the only one that was almost floored when I saw these? I saw a guy wearing it at Disneyland and had to ask him where he got it, and his friend with him said that her friend worked at Macys so she told them when the jackets came in and they ordered it [...]

no thanks

At a middle school today:
Boy: Hey, smell my cheek
Me: …@_@…uh…no thanks!
Boy: Just smell my cheek! It smells like cologne!
Me: ^_^… <walks away>
To be fair, another boy had been spraying cologne, and this boy must have gotten some on his finger…and then smeared it on his face…and he might have been honestly wanting me to smell [...]

My Parents

So I said, that according to Spanish class at school, that their culture is to take a siesta around noon [...]
