well, it's amazing how general and vague you can be and still be fairly safe... so I'd take what little knowledge i had of a subject or just make an "educated" guess (really just depending whether I cared whether i looked intelligent or not)

It was hard for me to bullshit anything with my English teacher last year.
Mrs. Tabke was an meticulous, but erratic, drill sergeant. It's like she had some sort of sixth sense, and she could sense when you were cheating or bullshitting, whether it be on a test, project, or an essay.
That woman was a freaking maniac. If she didn't like your work, she never told you how you could improve it or what you even did wrong to begin with. She just gave a lower score. And she never gave anyone A.
But I suppose it's logical for someone that got a perfect score on the ACT to have such monumental expectations.
She had a baby this year. I would fear having her for a mother.

She should marry Mr. Ursini. They'd have horrible children, together.
By the way, he is an English teacher in my school. Same thing goes, he gives you a lower grade and doesn't tell you how to improve. He'd mark off major points for missing periods or typos. Doesn't look professional? Looks like he'll need to lop some more of your points off.
And there's a vicious rumor circulating. Well, it has been for a long time. They say that he has a thing for girls with short skirts. I mean, c'mon, why do all the girls get A's, anyway?
Some of our most courageous folks Google'd him. Guess what? He was found on a webpage about...worshipping women and the feminine mystique. Go figure.

She's already married, but I could actually picture her as perhaps being a bit of a polygamist. She could have about a dozen kids by two men and then she tell her story via autobiography and documentary.
Your English teacher seems vaguely similar to my freshman year gym teacher. Although he actually acted on his "urges", shall I say, with female students.
His name was Mr. Solum.

LOL First Jay Leno talks about all those teachers having sex with students, and now you guys talks about teachers that likes girls in skirts razz
A bit scary, actually. Gives me the wrong picture of the U, S and A. I think.

America scares me. I plan to move out of the country when I'm old enough and have the funds to do so.
Britain or Spain would be nice, or even Canada.
My friends always laugh at the Canada idea. What's so funny about Canada?

Americans sometimes tend to have a superior attitude toward Canada. but that's usually those who think that America is perfect and the God-ordained ruler of the world.
I like Canada. they take care of their citizens and they don't allow homosexuals to be mistreated or discriminated against. The only problem I have with them really is that they tend to follow the U.S. too much or something. but i'm not totally sure about that, so idk.

I think Canadian accents are cool. For one of the engineering courses that I take, there's a lecturer who was originally from Canada, and he sounds cool, especially at the beginning of the semester. (I'm starting to get used to his voice and it doesn't sound so cool any more.)
We're specifically told to be straight-forward when writing engineering reports. That is, no bullshitting to take up space. Luckily, that's the most natural way for me to write.

I think I've seen maybe about two full episodes of the Simpsons in my entire life.
I just never really caught onto that following.

The Simpsons parody everything. I mean it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen too many episodes of that myself.
What do Canadian accents sound like, Mousy?
Ugh. AP tests are stupid. My tests begin next week and the week after that. I have AP Government, AP Statistics, and AP English Literature on the first week and AP Microeconomics/Macroeconomics and AP Physics the next week.

None of those classes are offered at my school, except for AP microeconomics. Except, I believe it's CIS Microeconomics at my school, not AP.
I almost took AP Psychology, but I backed out of that class at the last minute.
I have to take the ACT again soon, though, and I'm not looking forward to that. I wasn't very happy with my first score.

Xumbra What do Canadian accents sound like, Mousy? I don't know how to describe it... It's kind of melodic. It sounds cool when it's someone with a deep voice.

OH NO! I forgot to ask my teacher! This reminded me! >_< No, you can't know what I was going to ask.
