Only At IA: German Condiments

31 March 2008

German Condiments

(In Spanish class: While talking to Student A in Spanish, I have just used the word alemán, meaning 'German')
Student A: Alemán? What's that mean?
Me: German.
Student A: Oh. One time, on a vocab quiz a while ago, I put that it meant mayonnaise. I mean, it sounds like a brand name, doesn't it? Alamayonnaise! I like it!
Me: Wow. Nice.

Only at IA are the girls jealous when the guys can put their graphing calculators in their pockets and make it look normal.
-Kate K.

Only at IA could a student be less excited about getting a 36 on he ACT than he is about his score being a perfect square.

Only at IA could a student be happy about an in-school suspension, saying that it will be the most productive day of the week, giving him time to study for exams.

Only at IA do students debate whether another student's FB statues constitute a legitimate depiction of the Hero's Journey.

Today, Ms. Sturt, the bio teacher, was talking about genetic disorders in sperm. Unclear about what was being explained, Farzan asked, "So when you have a trisomy or a monosomy you are like a retarded sperm?" Ms. Sturt replied back saying, "I think for PC reasons we should just call them imperfect sperm." Farzan responded, "Well then are there preterit sperms too?" OAIA
