You know you're in the IA when...

Sometime near the beginning of this school year, everyone at IA was automatically enrolled in a Moodle course called Tri Campus Unity. The point is to get students from the different campi to interact with each other a bit and stop thinking of the IA as three separate schools. One student posted a thread in the forum with the same title as this post and asked others to weigh in with their own ways of completing the sentence. It's really fun to read and comment on, so if you have access to Moodle please go check it out. I'll share some of my favorites here, but you should definitely still go read some more. (I won't mention submitters' names here without permission, but you can see who submitted what in the thread.)

-you prefer block dude to most video games

~it's a beautiful day out and your first thought is 'Yes! I can study outside today!'

~you spend more time on moodle and zangle then you do facebook.

-you take it to the chess board to solve a fight instead of into the street

~the first thing you notice about a presentor's slideshow is that his sources are older than you

~calculator accessories suddenly become more important than fashion (btw, purple, pink and mismatched cases are soooo in!)

~you make a graph on your graphing calculator that you think is "cool"

~you sit at the computer wondering if you are really at the IA because of that TOK class that you took

-it's easier to count 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 than 1,2,3,4,5,6

~your parents schedule family trips around no-homework weekends

~you have inside jokes with your friends... and those jokes are in your foreign language

-you have a warranty on your calculator, but not your iPod

~you argue over which is better, Runescape or WoW, and factor in cost of membership, benefits of free play, graphics, quests, events, and all sorts of things.

~over 25% of your friends' statuses on facebook are in a foreign language

There's even a Facebook group dedicated to the subject now. I'm pretty sure you can see it without a Facebook account, so I won't share highlights; go see for yourself!

BTW, the ones with a tilde (~) are the ones that actually apply/have applied to me speciffically. Sad? Or not? I'll go with not.
