IB Thankful For:

Not your typical list but hey, we take whatever we can get in IB.

~Not doing dissections the day before Thanksgiving

~A Calculus test the day before the long weekend (no homework!)

~G-2 Pens that let you see how much ink you’re using – the only thing anymore that gives me a sense of accomplishment

~Freshman brothers to bring things to school that you/your friends forgot

~The school grading system crash in first quarter that allows “It’s probably the computer – let me talk to [Teacher] on Monday” as an excuse for every bad grade

~IB Juniors to remind us that there was a time when we felt hopeful and driven too

~Teachers like PT who help us navigate the bureaucracy by copying IB paper, hitting us over the head with things like CEGM and Ethics guidelines, and generally being on our side

~Wikipedia’s endless link-chain that allows us to entertain ourselves while still feeling/appearing productive

~ IB workdays – the closest thing we get to having a social life

~Lockers halfway across campus that force us to get fresh air and exercise

~And all of you wonderful beautiful people who read this! Happy Thanksgiving!

thanks to Sal's brother for bringing me some much needed stamps.

also, i love our wikipedia click-on-the-first-link&see-what-you-find escapades.

also, the lockers across campus allow us to look super-nerdy by nearly rushing to our (favorite) spanish class.

i'm thankful for you. well, you and Jesus. mainly Jesus, but you too. (this ad sponsored by the Save the Torgo Foundation.)

Sal, I love you to pieces!
(Not literally, of course.)
What I mean is, I love you to whole-ness!

You are wonderful. Eternal thanks to the Lord.

If you used fountain pens like cool people, you'd have to replace the ink cartridge like every week at least, making you REALLY feel like you're getting stuff done!

Anything called a "turtle excluder device" is something I want to own.
