Freak Snowstorm? Hit me!

Yup, so it went back to overcast. Can't get to greedy apparently. The world likes to torture me. I just need something that isn't rain and clouds. Clouds and rain.
I am going nuts.

Oh yeah. Reason for blogging today. Life is always interresting being a native English speaker. You get asked things like "Sorry, Maeghan are you busy? No? What is a human cannonball?"
Yup, it really happened. And all I want to know is:
Why do these kids need to know what a human cannonball is? Are they recruiting for the circus? Will this be on the ÖSS? The TOEFL?
Because it wasn't a student who asked me this, oh no. It was one of the teachers.

*shakes head*
-Maeghan

Ps. Actually? I wouldn't put it past the TOEFL. They kind of seem evil. You should see their vocabulary list. I couldn't define all of them.

Wow. Rowan somehow cast her strange voodoo on Turkish weather.
Human cannonballs? Turkish English sounds much better than what we get here in Hat High.

Incidentally,

Mi pez es picante; actually refers to a live fish.... Why am I eating live fish and why is it spicy? What has this fish been doing?
