Just as a sort of intro Mr. Ellsworth is My AP Literature and Composition teacher. The dicussions we've had in class are far more than amusing.
First! We talked about Dracula by Bram Stoker and how it has nothing to do with vampires. Apparently its all about syphilis (The STD that deteriorates your mind and makes you go cuckoo xD) and the lack of sexuality between Harker and Mina because Harker has syphilis (which he was born with from his father who died from it.) and he didn't want her to get it. Anyway. I was amused by that topic because I love vampires, and to hear that the second but by far most popular vampire book isn't about vampires at all. (And today in AP Contract one of my friends thought that Dracula was the one with syphilis and I was like "No. Dracula has no STD... It was hilarious smile )
Secondly! And of course the more hilarious of the two: Today we were talking about Greek Mythology and how Hephaestus was born (I actually didn't know that he was Hera's child...) One of the kids who sits next to me made the hilarious comment that the name Hephaestus sound like and STD. He acted it like he was a doctor and he said:
"I'm sorry, missus, but you have Hephaestus" (He said it in a Forrest Gump accent, if that helps you visualize it at all)
rofl So anyway. That's a day or two in my AP Lit class
(More will come, most likely xD)

Who was it that said that? Yah we talked about the same thing. I joined the discussion for once because I actually know a lot about greek mythology. Usually I don't talk much and I think I surprised the class. LOL.

This class sounds interesting and awesome compared to my English class... I have a cranky old teacher that will slam a textbook on to your desk if you are talking, sleeping, not paying attention or even slouching. The books we're forced to read are old (usually published in the early and mid 1900s) and can get boring at one point. The copies are also pretty old, so sometimes, pages are missing or the cover will fall off when you attempt to read it (Depending on what book, it can be a good thing >.< you wouldn't want naked kids on the cover)

It's one of my favorite classes, but it's really hard. Speaking of which. I have more to post.
Our class read 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. We were analyzing it and I told my friend that I couldn't think. Her response was 'Be Oscar Wilde, think like him.' and I was like: "I don't want to be Oscar Wilde! I'm not gay!" (no offense to those who are, of course) Also. The same kid had pulled the Hephaestus joke an app on his iPod or iPhone (dunno which) called Talking Tom and when Ellsworth left the room he would pull it out and mess with it. What it does is you say something to it and it repeats what you say in an oddly high pitched voice. It was hilarious xD

Haha! I have a new story to be told! It's kind of an accumulation between a few things.... On the way back from our Government field trip on Monday My friends and I were discussing Genetics. I don't know how we got on the topic, but here's how it went:
My friend asked me why I am a redhead and I said something along the lines of "I don't know, It's in my genes..." Somehow we came to the climax of 'once upon a time one of my ancestors was raped by a red haired viking.'
Now, this relates to Ellsworth because he has a redheaded kid. So when he heard me talking about it in class, he threw his rubber apple at me. xD Aw fun times xD

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sounds like Ellsworth. He enjoys throwing things. Like whatever is near him at the time. I don't want to incur his wrath while he's using a staple gun or has a brick in his hands. LOL.

Oh! I have another story!
Today in class, me and three of my friends were doing a group project for the book Huck Finn. I don't know why, but whenever I read a book or watch a movie I start talking in the accent of the book or movie. So our whole group of friends was talking in hick-speak and laughing. xD
In AP Contract, a friend and I decided that stupid people don't need to breathe. So, in other words, I don't need to breathe xD

Okay. I have another story xD! -Insert Applause Here-
Today in class, All the members of the swim team had to leave for a competition and. At the time when they left you could hear a baby crying in the hall (one of those robotic ones that you have to take care of for a certain amount of time for Adult Roles (the class). So, I looked at Ellsworth and said something along the lines of: "Great job, Ellsworth. Half your class is leaving... and you made a baby cry..." He looked at me all uber-serious like and said: "You. Readhead. Shut Up." And I laughed for like a whole minute straight. Ellsworth believes that redheads are children of the devil, somehow, because we are all apparently evil. xD
And also we talked about a poem about blood and cutting part of your thumb off. It was amazing xD
((EDIT: Here it is. Cut -- Sylvia Plath:
What a thrill -
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of hinge
Of skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush.
Little pilgrim,
The Indian's axed your scalp.
Your turkey wattle
Carpet rolls
Straight from the heart.
I step on it,
Clutching my bottle
Of pink fizz. A celebration, this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, every one.
Whose side are they on?
O my Homunculus, I am ill.
I have taken a pill to kill
The thin
Papery feeling.
Saboteur, Kamikaze man -
The stain on your
Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes and when
The balled
Pulp of your heart
Confronts its small
Mill of silence
How you jump -
Trepanned veteran,
Dirty girl,
Thumb stump. ))
