This is the âverage bed time. It includes both grade-obssesed nerds and carefree athletes. :D ;)
 
I'm at a small college in Vermont. It's really cold and there is not much to do here.
 
ahhh.... i'm gonna be one smart kid at williamstown.
Williams, here I come baby!
 
I wish Williams will come to you, Dũng!:)
And you are not just a smart kid, but the smartest.:)
 
eh, Linh, do ya happen to remember I was sitting behind you and your female friend in Mr. Hoa's Daiso class? Are you still going to his class this year? How's school going?

seems like you are the odd. Come down here and have a beer with me my friend, you will change your mind :cool:

doh, go back and enjoy your freshman first, before running into senior man :) There're more "fresh fun" :mrgreen:

good luck all, for a beer and college
 
What will happen if someone is a senior with a child in his arms? :D It's a lot of fun, isn't it?

Drink a very big glass of beer with Mr. Head Admin: for colleges/universities, children and HAO:D
 
American beers are mostly bad and the good ones are too expensive. Newcastle Ale is probably even way better than Bud light and corona and stuff.

I'm no more a senior, but there was a time ... :)

Corona Extra down south is ok, but no better then fresh beer in VN ;)

cheer
 
:beerchug:

So you've got more...(terrified) :D

Another :beerchug: for Mr. ex-senior with his niece
 
Oh my gosh, I wrote a really long post + then, instead of clicking 'gửi bài', I clicked 'hủy bỏ'!!! Share my frustration..

To Linh: I think it looks more like a nephew. Resembles its uncle so much, I thought it was Mr. Hà's child ^_^

To Mr. Hà: So you're free? j/k

Anyway, I always thought that after 12 years (or more) of school people would have a more relaxed approach to studying than the freshmen in Ms. Vy's text. In fact, it may even be entirely reverse, as seniors have to worry about graduation + jobs, +c. No?
 
More about students...
When the teacher enters the class and says "good morning"...
-you are a freshman if you then reply "good morning"
-you are a sophomore if you just take a glance and then continue your talk with classmates.
-you are a junior if you just stay tuned, glassily looking at textbooks on the table.
-you are a senior if you start writting down "good morning".
 
To Nhung: I agree with you. That's why I said that I'm more like a senior according to Ms.Vy's text because I really don't take studying as seriously as I should.
To Mr.Hà: did you watch Sooners' football games?
