Memorable High School Experiences

I decided to compile a list of my high school experiences. (Best, worst, most memorable, etc). Only read this if you have time, haha.

In response to Li’s request:

Biggest Challenge – Migrating and upgrading Health Alliance within a week.

Most Useless Past-Time – Collecting valuable and shiny coins which end up oxidizing and/or making my closest smell.

Most Memorable Historical Event – GEORGE W. BUSH’S REELECTION!

In response to Sunny Patel’s request:

Most Favorite Lunch – “Lunch A” in 11th grade, sitting with a fascist b*stard (Sunny), a debating chink (Alan), and a debating white guy (Jacob). (Those were Sunny’s words, not mine).

In response to David Li’s request:

Teacher I Would Most Like to Bang – Psh, forget teacher. I think David’s rather attractive… so… yeah… XDDDDDDD!!!

My personal comments:

Favorite English Novel – Les Miserables

Favorite English Poem – T.S. Eliot’s “The Wasteland”, HAH! Just kidding. Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.”

Favorite Teacher – Take a wiiiild guess! The legendary… and excessively strange… MR. CHARLES FINDEISEN! MMMMMMM!

Favorite Subject – Mathematics (Algebra II and Calculus AB/BC specifically)

Worst Teacher – Doctor Bohnstedt (“Dr. B”)… ACKSHULLY… the guy’s personality is PURRTY GOOD, but I’ve learned VERY little about mechanical PHYSHIX in that class.

Best Memory – Receiving my MIT Acceptance Letter, woo! The… MIGHTY… Beavers. XD. I don’t know… owls sound more menacing than beavers.

Favorite Nicknames – I have a lot, but I think “Shuma” (Kudos to the Aryan… Paul) and “Rushi” (Thanks… Dr. B!) are the best.

Biggest Regret – Losing contact with numerous CRHS’ers and being WRONG in Mr. Findeisen’s class… you’ll live to regret it.

Favorite Project – The “Life of John Steinbeck” video for English II. CLASSIC!

Biggest Addiction – 9th grade Counter-Strike craze.

Plans for the future:

Hibernate between May 28th after graduation and whenever college starts.
If Rice accepts me, finish the undergraduate program at Rice and obtain admission to the Ph.D. / M.D. program at Columbia University.
If not, see if I can scrounge up enough money for MIT and work my way to the top in some respectable software company.
Simply stated… GET A SOCIAL LIFE!

Random memories with Mr. Findeisen:

If I’ve already told you this story, then I apologize in advance.

STORY ONE

One day, we were working on a worksheet in Chemistry, and towards the end of the period while people were finishing up the last few problems, Mr. Fin was cleaning out a MASSIVE test-tube thing using a MASSIVE test-tube brush. Now, to those who have cleaned test-tubes before, you stick this brush in a test-tube and push it in and pull it back out, push it in and pull it back out… over and over again. (Think of the motion this is making). Well, so the ten Chemistry II students continued to work diligently on the worksheet, and we occasionally glanced over trying to stifle our laughter while Mr. Fin made the brush have s*x with the tube. Okay, yeah, our minds are probably in the gutter, but then Mr. Fin had the AUDACITY to ask Cyrus Rashedi “What does this look like, Cyrus?” At this point, I died. I mean… what was Cyrus supposed to say!?

Mr. Fin: “What does it look like, Cyrus?”

Cyrus: “I… I don’t know Mr. Fin [trying to stifle his laughter].”

Mr. Fin: “IT’S LIKE CHURNIN’ BUTTER! Have you ever churned butter before? The last time I churned butter was at a festival last year… MMMMM!”

Well, all I have to say is… have fun churnin’ that butter Mr. Fin, you devil!

STORY 2

While we were taking notes off of the overhead, Mr. Fin turned around and looked at his calendar (which included the strangest events) and told us that the day before was “Come and Take It Day!” After the Chemistry II students pondered for a minute, he told us it was referring to that cannon during the Texas Revolution. The cannon with the banner that says “Come and Take It!” Well, according to Mr. Fin, this prized token of the Texas Revolution is probably in some river filled with alligators since, of course, no one is as good of a humanitarian as he is.

Tell me if there’s anything else ya wanna see! I’m probably just going to continue editing this post till the end of the school year. Then I’ll add more posts.
