I'm finally in the rhythn of things here at GHP. The food is getting pretty disgusting, I mean, they serve "corn nuggets" and "clam strips" on a daily basis, but my classes are still awesome and I'm starting to really get to know people. Next week, I'll be taking a class about the evolution of the American superhero (with a focus on Batman) and ( Read more... )

So, yeah, it's breaking news. This one kid who's so smart that he brought liquor to school and GOT CAUGHT WITH IT threatened to bomb the school, strangle someone, and shoot another guy. I would be worried, but then, it's more likely that he'll sprout wings than shoot someone ( Read more... )
