Favorite thing about the MK highschool:

It’s very relaxed and informal ( I don’t have to ask to go to the bathroom, and that is nice.)

Learning style:

Short sprints with long breaks

Favorite subject:

Math or biology

Biology because it is interesting

Math because it doesn’t take too much memorization and general learning, and I get to listen to music while I do it. It is mindless work.

Literature

It’s subjective,  completely open to opinion, and positively boring.

Shave a chipmunk

Only ever use one chair in the course of his life

Interpret everything the teacher says as an insult that will scar him for life

Quotes from the year:
"I hate the pictures in my history book of people who already have facial hair, because that leaves nothing for me to do!"

"I can't help it, I have deep-set eyes. Which is actually better because they are more protected this way."

"It’s like sucking jello through a small straw…possible, but difficult."

My favorite thing about Ethan:
His refusal to be anything but his own crazy self.
