crazy school stuff

lol, why didnt i think of that?

It means Redwoods, under the Redwoods. It's sort of a play on words. In Berlin there is an avenue called Unter den Linden. Loosely, the avenue under the linden trees.

The redwoods are truly impossible to explain to those who haven't seen a mature one. Pictures fail to capture their immensity I can imagine that it would pose problems to the pc textbook makers.

I've seen a few.

It makes you feel like a little bug when you stand under them!

i think they should just go ahead and ban Wuthering Heights/Frankenstein

cuz they are really boring, consume time, relates nothing to the current world today, except for some fictitious moral values. AND KIDS HATE IT!!!


of course im joking

i am in canada, and all i can do is sit here and laugh at your now crazy country.... [laughing!]
Now i will look around me and weep at MY insane country. I think every country has their weird things
Canada: Ehhhh? Our money is worth less than a few countries...
USA: Constantly going to war, and now look at this crazy thing here.
Iraq: Do i even have to say?
England: look at their outlets! I like their accents though
And that's about enough from me.

Wuthering Heights is a good read but I can't imagine why you would have to read it in high school. As a matter of fact, you must go to a fairly liberal school, Wuthering Heights deals with some pretty strong topics.

I don't remember much about Frankenstein the book, but I can't imagine why you would be reading it either. Hmmm.

I had to read Wuthering Heights in hight school, too. Wiz, happen to live in Texas? Just wondering.

Here's one I could have gone without: Fiddler on the Roof. Though we watched the movie rather than read it.

Actually, I probably would have enjoyed it (I actually like musicals ). It's just that I had just gone through 9 weeks of Fiddler on the Roof. I like to do theatre (I'm a stage hand, I don't act ), and the playhouse was doing that. I like to go to all the rehearsals to get to know everybody, though I don't really need to be there until they start doing the tech rehearsals. So I had gone through all the rehearsels, and the 4 weeks the show was playing and was very tired of Fiddler on the Roof by then. There's only so much you can take of one thing. But when I got to my English class that next Monday, lo and behold, the teacher tells us we were going to start watching Fiddler on the Roof.

Man, I tried to get out of that one...the play had been exactly the same as the movie. By that time, I knew every line, knew every word to every song. Hell, I could even do the accents. Didn't work, though, teacher made me watch it. <sigh>
