In Which Rayla Learns The Power of Holy Graphs, Discovers That She Has Been Pronouncing The Word "Asymptote" Wrong Forever, And Other Things

So here I am. Sitting. In the grande salle. On the internet. And I'm writing you this blog because today we had the weirdest day in math ever! Everyone kept on asking questions about graphing functions f(x)/g(x) and everyone was really confused. And people talked. But I wasn't confused, etc, I was bored and played with my calculator. It can make numbers really small before it freaks out and says AHHHHHH! USE FREAKING NORMAL SIZED NUMBERS, I HATE DECIMALS YOU STUPID MATH STUDENT!

Celia test drove my calculator on the SAT last Saturday. Apparently hers was malfunctioning due to some battery issue. Anyway, I lent (wait, is that how you spell that?) her mine and she used it. So now someone used my brand-new calculator on the SAT. Maybe it gains special SAT powers and can do math better after the first time you use it. We will see. (I don't really think it does).

Anyway, I was sitting in math. In the jardin. And it was cold. And I was thinking about why I didn't bring my coat, etc, when study Mr. Watt says "asymptote" except pronounces it correctly, unlike Ms. Crew did. He said "as-im-toe-t." Ms. Crew always used to say "as-im-toe-puh." I was convinced that he was pronouncing it wrong and was going to call him on it (being the English nerd I am), but then I looked at the word and I realized, OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN PRONOUNCING IT WRONG MY WHOLE LIFE!!! This was a major revelation and I sat there for a few minutes just taking in that fact. I mean, talk about teachers molding your future success. Ms. Crew coached me to say asymptote wrong! Had I not seen the light, I still would have been walking about saying it wrong! Think about that. Seriously!

We didn't get our quizzes back though. That was unfortunate. Though I thought it was pretty easy. Hopefully I'll ace it again. That would make my life easier.

Après math, I had English as usual, and we talked about our papers and opening papers and some "key-hole" model for papers, which Mr. Pratt emphasized is just one way to do it and we shouldn't feel restricted to write in a specific way blah, blah, blah. Except all I could think about was that that model REALLY doesn't look like a key-hole at all, it's more like two triangles and a circle. Hmmm. Interesting. I'm rambling.

Uchenna is reading this over my shoulder AGAIN. Do you remember the other time when Uchenna was reading over my shoulder? Yeah, same person. I sense a trend. Uchenna says that the trend is obviously because QUOTE "there are really like fifty Uchennas in the world" END QUOTE. Whatever Uchenna.

I got a letter from Nicole and everyone today. Thanks guys. Awesome. I may need to write back. Soon. Uchenna says I'm a bad friend, but obviously you all know that when I say I "may need to write back" it means that I WILL write back AT SOON AS I GET HOME. Go away Uchenna.

Anyway, me and Kelly are going to Café Candiot after school. It's this really cute adorable café that we absolutely love, and it's right behind République. They recognized us the last time we went in, and gave us a special table. I love their hot chocolate.

I went to a match de foot (soccer game) with my host family yesterday. Rennes totally won, 3-0. IN YOUR FACE LYON!

Signing out, au revoir et bisous!
