i was sitting in first period, and all of a sudden i realized i had gum in my mouth, but i didn't remember where i got it from. then i fourth period, it was gone, and i didn't remember where it went. i didn't spit it out, so i was confused. so to keep my sanity i have convinced myself that i never had gum in the first place, my tongue was just numb and i was chewing on that for 3 and a half hours
i woke up in 4th period before. i memorized my schedule so well that i just kept sleeping on the bus, to school, through classes, and to classes. it was amazing. i woke up and had no clue how i got there. the last thing i remembered was getting dressed in the morning.

in school i found out that if there's no tissues in the room, you can just use note book paper or paper towel/toilet paper from the bathroom: just get a sheet and rub both ends together and with the middle part for a few seconds and it'll be soft enough to blow your nose with. obvioulsy toilet paper works the best, since it's already soft(but it's also thin), and then paper towel(which i recommend) and then notebook paper(which i dont recommend, actually i've never even tried it with notebook paper, i just heard it works).
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice.
Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
