David Bloody Lean

It would seem to me that the only way to settle this is a breadstick duel at the Eiffel Tower at dawn. You gonna get stabbed.

Nayways, I'm hanging out for the holidays. During school time, Marine is ALWAYS working, it's incredible. Hopefully when the holidays roll around, we'll get to do some fun stuff. And I'll get to sleep in some more. I'm constantly yawning in the middle of classes.

You know what's fun? Two hours of sport outside is fun. Yesterday we went out to some random oval to play soccer. And they gets marks for P.E., it counts towards the BAC. It was freezing when we left, but I tried to think positivley, that we'd be running around, playing soccer, it'd be fine. After getting changed into hoodies and tracksuit pants (I was wearing so many layers, I must've looked like a snowman), we went out onto the oval to do some warm-ups. You know when you stub your toe and it's cold so it hurts even more? Imagine that, but worse, cause you're kicking a ball around, and it's the middle of winter. Painful. It probably didn't help that there was fog everywhere. They started doing this exercise, but what the purpose or rules were I had no idea. Then we played some mini matches before we finished. By the time we actually got home, I couldn't feel my fingers or my toes at all.

Today in english we started watching a movie, Ryan's Daughter. Directed by the great David Lean, of course. So I start laughing, and look crazy. I probably looked even more crazy when I started cracking up cause Robert Mitchum was in it. I'm not really sure what the point of it is, but they're in Ireland during WWI, and Robert Mitchum is the middle-aged school teacher marrying the bartender's somewhat annoying daughter. He'd so get arrested for it today. We were watching another film in spanish the other day, about mexian refugees trying to get across the border. One of the people smugglers called this old woman a 'fat cow' and the whole class thought it was hilarious.

I don't care what you say, I still really want a brownie.
