Rumor has it. . .
The first wave of standardized testing has ended, and Freshman IB is breathing a collective sigh of relief. Well, not really, since for most of them it was cake, but that’s beside the point. A few have been hospitalized from the stress of having a week of tests followed by the FCAT. Those who were unable to complete the test in the allotted time (thus defying the expectation for IB students to finish within a half an hour) were kicked out of the program, effective immediately.
After the test, a game of blackjack in the “M” homeroom resulted in the loss of various mp3 players and cell phones. Though the betting of Rachel Metras was at first assumed to be a joke, Jake Mullery still waits to collect his winnings.
Several who were forced to take their tests in the Science buildings have gathered to campaign for more comfortable stools. Unfortunately, most students asked to sign their petition said that when the school could get enough money to supply the bathrooms with soap, they would start caring about butt-bruising stools. The group gave up hope at hearing this, due to the extreme unlikelihood of a sanitary public bathroom.
Another group was gathered for a much less practical purpose: figuring out how to spell “yiff niff.” Headed by Luis Soto, the group was consulting various English teachers and even trying to contact the writer of the short story in order to discern the spelling of the imaginary word. Maya Meredith, Freshman IB’s presiding Grammar Hitler, was approached for a spelling suggestion, but she insisted that the cause was just too stupid to lend her name to it.



























I'm doing IB in Australia T_T
this is exactly like my school day, only in a different school. It made me laugh a lot, actually.
Nicely done, I really like it! Great job!
