And I don’t mean in a Tyra Banks way.
I know it looked like first Joe and then Mike was a shoe-in for Favorite Student.
Well boys, it’s time you know that you’ve got some competitors nipping at your feet…quietly, some might say cleverly, angling for the lead.
Karp — as in the guy who created the Anna David Iphone app — gave Principal David pretty much the best present you can give a girl for her birthday (hint: a spa gift certificate).
Eric may be a bit of a quiet student — he sits in the back, does his homework, doesn’t cause a lot of trouble — noticed the astounding array of tweets Princ wrote about her love for peanut butter and had 6 JARS, including one that’s chocolate peanut butter and has been almost entirely consumed during late-night television watching, delivered to her.
Sure, Joe is always keeping us up-to-date on the latest troublemakers on the ADA scene and yes, he edited together clips of your dear Principal talking about this year’s school text…and okay, we all know that Chi Mike saves damsdels in distress and also sends them Starbucks cards. Yes, Skunk provides daily quotes, oftentimes keeping them focused on the day’s topic and Dave saves the day when it comes to newsletters. It’s true that brand-new students are offering to teach seminars before they’ve even figured out their way around the cafeteria. And of course Anthony is talking Bought all the time. But people, this race is far from over!
So when you’re not celebrating our nation’s birth this weekend, I hope you’ll be doing the next most patriotic thing possible and be trying to figure out the best way to keep your Principal happy/make her life easier.
All are encouraged to participate!
I knew my front runner status was in jeopardy when the name of the ADA cafeteria was changed last week from ‘Sloppy Joe’s Yum Yum Shack’ to ‘Officer Mike’s Gourmet Bistro’ (that’s in addition to the Professor Mike Memorial Library, Officer Mike’s Gymnasium, the Chi-Mike Women’s Lacrosse Field and Mike’s On-Campus Healthcare Clinic.)
Thankfully there’s still Joe’s Janitor Closet — I have coffee and doughnuts with the custodians there every morning!
All these other students are simply way of out my league
Rescue work, posting videos, creating Apps
I am quite happy to sit in the back of the room and read Bought and Party Girl over and over
Now, if I were to purchase my own television station and create the Television talk show hosted by Alison Rosen featuring Anna David and Diana Falzone as debating relationship experts, well then I might a contender
I am just about a Billion Dollars short of that goal though
I also love explaining to people what “Bought” is about when I am asked “Hey Ant, read any good books lately”
Happy 4th of July everyone!
Sadly, the only thing I can do is buy a copy of BOUGHT…which I did a few days ago via B&N.com and now I have to wait until the 6th to tear into it. Sorry I can’t do more for now.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!
America The Beautiful
Please Remember those who Have or Are fighting for the freedoms we enjoy, as well as the people such as Iran fighting for the freedom so many of us take for granted..
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck
Love your country. Your country is the land where your parents sleep, where is spoken that language in which the chosen of your heart, blushing, whispered the first word of love; it is the home that God has given you that by striving to perfect yourselves therein you may prepare to ascend to him. ~Giuseppe Mazzini
@annabdavid Sunbathing in central park, @natalidelconte’s bikini is red and white #tweetrelatedtotheholiday
I think every red blooded male in this school will agree when I say this Tweet was worthless without pictures Haha!
Well, it looks like we have a race. Just when you think a few furlongs is a good lead, the rest of the horses start to catch up. I’ve been puppy sitting all weekend, but I’m back in the game.
Guess we’re going to have to work a little harder around here to keep the principal happy. Get out of the closet Joe, we have feet nippers among us.
I’m with Skunk on the sunbathing thing, that’s just not right. Saying such a thing with no pictures is just cruel.
Hope everyone had a safe weekend!
Mike

Hey – there’s great news for the Academy this morning! I just found out our request for $285 million in Federal stimulus funds has been approved. We can now go forward with the largest expansion in ADA history. The new facility will be called… wait for it…..
The Joseph A. McDonald International Business and Economics Center
Like the name? I came up with it myself! Here’s an artist’s rendering: http://tinyurl.com/pgkggy
It’s a shovel-ready project, so join us at the official ground breaking ceremony on August 17 when Principal David will cut a ribbon, shovel some dirt and make a speech. We expect students from all over the world to begin applying for admission in 2010.
And there’s one thing for sure… it’s going to beat the hell out of having doughnuts in that janitor’s closet every morning!
Good manners can replace morals. It may be years before anyone knows if what you are doing is right. But if what you are doing is nice, it will be immediately evident. ~P.J. O’Rourke
Sigh. Well it’s high school all over again. My viral campaign to get Bought mentioned with MJ is trumped by the ongoing argument on who the father of Bubbles is, leaving me once again without a chance at SOTW. Someday, someday….
I want my fellow students to know that when the tweet about the Central Park soirée with the lovely Ms. Del Conti, I did say that her loyal students unable to attend the festivities would love to see some pics. Alas, know photo evidence was allowed.
Finally got the book. I’ll be reading it after this post and give my honest opinion. (Okay, you get take that pained look off your face. I know what those words mean and how they might hurt. Sheesh! ;) ) The minute I’m finished, I’ll mail my copy over to have it signed. I bought the ticket, so I might as well have my parking validated, right? (Yes, bad joke. I’ll be facing the corner like a bad little boy while reading the required reading. Catch y’all later.)
