Introduction
We were sitting at lunch. Thinking about next year. We were all going to different schools. It would be pretty sad
to never see each other again. So we decided to make a co-owned blog. This way we wouldn't completley forget each
other. We hope this lasts untill we graduate, maybe longer. Hopefully longer.
We are all PRISM students or alumni. PRISM is a gifted program with too much homework and tests. Even though we
are "gifted children", we rarely act like it. It's hard to spend this much time together without loosing at least a large
chunk of one's sanity.
(If any of you guys want to add anything here, post a comment somewhere, or mention
it)

Mary ish Back
--Life
Poor Mary didn't get to go online for two whole days. I feel so sorry for me. Do you feel sorry for me? If so, give me chocolate and make me feel better. Chocolate is good. I like chocolate ice cream. I ate a whole bowl of it for lunch/dinner/snack (whatever you would call a large meal at 4 PM).
Hmm...
Instead of being online, I ended up reading Angels & Demons and Digital Fortress. Good books. The plot of Angels & Demons is a lot like the plot of the Da Vinci Code though. Except for different settings, characters, and the ending, they are really really similar.
--School
Haha... school is so amusing sometimes. Well the stupid ppl there are. Stupid incidents:
Before the WASL, we got a packet on 'preparing for wasl'. On the back page there were Links. Not URLs, links. Like the kind of links that you click on. Sadly, the packed was printed on paper. Genius.
We had an assembly on diversity. It defined diversity as 'respect for different races, cultures, etc...' What does diversity have to do with respect? Seriously, learn to use a dictionary.
S.C.O.O.T. A 20 minute powerpoint on walking in the hallways. How special.
--Amusing Story
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England . In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.
But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York.The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
