Community college: A big playground for guys to hit on girls. First off I want to thank all the guys who's goal is to come here to show off their mad vibes in hopes that the girls will smell it and flock to them. I thank you because you entertain me more than you will ever know.



I have waited a while to post this subject because I wanted to take in as much as I could about it. I still have so much more to grasp in this world of guys thinking and acting like they are the coolest thing since girls. Here's a little news for you guys out there. You look like idiots. Yeah pretty much that sums it up in one sentence. Now, I can't read girls minds but I'm pretty sure most of what I have witnessed is not something most girls are attracted to. I'm no love doctor either so please don't think I know what girls want. I'm simply here to state what I have seen and then leave. Lets start in my writing class. I wrote previously about three guys who all try to hit on a girl who sits in front of me. Well, one of them (the gangster of the bunch) is the one I would like to talk about. First off, his pants only come up to his upper thigh. That's pretty cool and all. Or retarded. You decide. While I sat in class one day he turns towards her and says this with such confidence, "hey, we sure do whisper a lot. Most people don't whisper as much as you and me do in class". Ok, ARE YOU SERIOUS? Really? Of course she responded with "oh I know, we should totally hangout sometime!" NO. That's not how she responded. I think I would get up and slap both of them. Remember how in the second grade we used to play chase? Girls would chase boys. Boys would chase boys. Girls would always run away screaming. Well now, 12 years later, it seems like we are playing the same game. By "we" I mean the boys at Chemeketa. How old are you? And you still don't know how to talk to a girl. Fantastic. He did, somehow, manage to get her number and even though they sit two feet from each other, he texts all through class. Conveniently, he has the same phone as her so naturally he wants to borrow her phone all the time and compare. Wow. "hey can I compare your phone with mine? I know it's the same and all but I'm retarded and think that by doing this maybe you will like me." I just amazes me how stupid some people are. I mean, I love it because, well, I laugh and it makes me happy. Well this was chapter one. I need to do some more observations and write again about this sometime. I have lots but nothing to great so stay tuned!

Math Class


As I prepared for math this morning (and by "prepared" I mean got my notebook out to write notes in) I thought to myself, I need something to wake me up because I'm tired. So I sat patiently waiting for something to wake me up. That was stupid. Who waits for something to wake them up? I was tired.



Something did happen which was amazing. As Mr Teacher was telling us students how to put an equation into our very over priced calculators, we all followed with intensity. He then said, "and by putting that all into the calculator we get a graph with nothing on it". Thank you for making me to all that work just so nothing happens. Now what happened next you might read and go "Jon, that happens and people make mistakes." Just keep reading on thank you. I heard this response "actually my graph has something on it". Mr. Teacher quickly snapped back with, "did you put parenthesis around the exponent?" "Oh no hehe". Simple mistake right? Wrong. Our last class was spent by students trying to correct Mr. Teacher with their answers coming from their calculators. Every time they would try to correct him he would ask if they had put the equation in correctly. Every time was the same story, "oh no I forgot to put that in". Ok, so by this time in our lives of math here at Chemeketa we should learn that when Mr. Teacher says this is the answer that we should get on our calculators, then thats probably the right answer. When you get something different then every other person in the class including the teacher, maybe fight the urge to speak up boldly and proudly like you found a mistake and you have the correct answer, and spare yourself the embarrassment of getting shot out of the sky and falling face first. No matter how many times it happens, people don't think to check how they put the equation into their calculator and they speak to quickly. Also I'm pretty sure every calculator in that class (which are Texas Instruments) have the same software on them. So I'm pretty sure if you have a different answer then everyone else you put the equation in wrong. Thank you for you attempt though! I love it.
