Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire

Done: The flirt-fest that was named Stock Challenge.

'He could have sworn that the pretty girl sitting in the adjoining table was winking at him just so he wouldn't be able to concentrate on the latest stocks and shares. Yet, he still managed to scrape an above average score. He only wishes he had better self-control and was not a weak-willed fool, because he undoubtedly would have won if that was true.'

Oh dear God some teacher from school just called me, and is asking for bloody HOMEWORK. Dammit there isn't a single day of rest for me. All in the life of an ACS guy I guess.

Goodbye world, tell Santa sorry I was naughty this year.

I learned absolutely nothing from school this year that I would probably use in the future.

With one exception.

First impressions count.

'Don't judge a book by it's cover' is a saying that absolutely no one abides by.

At the beginning of the year, I had replied, tongue-in-cheek, to a question set by my chem teacher with an answer that drew racous laughter from the classmates. Somehow, it spread like a wildfire and every student and teacher knew about my little self-deprecating joke.

I was foolish to think that the repercussions of the joke would die down after a week or two. Instead, it stuck in the minds of everyone 'till today. It took a year of trying to disprove the first impression to change their minds. Hm.

Intro/Outro

Fooled again,
Blood, sweat and tears,
All for naught.

Yet the things,
That I had forgone,
Meant everything.


The black tyrant fell from the sky,
Halo 'round his head, but bringing his white lie.

The visions dancing in my mind,
The early dawn, the shades of time.

Am I awake or do I dream?
I'm seeing the strangest pictures I have seen.

He may not be the greatest math teacher we have had, but shit his attitude cannot be doubted. He walks into class, tells us stories about his wife's husband, and teaches for five minutes. Then he gets it all wrong. His math's kinda wonky, but his physics and chem rivals the best out there.

Still, he can't teach for nuts, and despite everything we do to him, he still has faith in us. I feel just obliged to practice some.

Some people say things for the sake of saying them
They hardly know what they mean.
