student teaching
i was student teaching
and my students were all a bunch of 17-18 year olds and the teacher i was working with told me that i have to teach the students how stereotypes work.

so i started the lesson by asking the students what stereotypes were.
big mistake
next thing i know the kids are screaming out all racial things
and one girl says, "all white girls give head"
and before i had a chance to process what she said, i yelled, "that's true"
before i could explain myself
the whole classroom laughed at me (since i am a white girl) - it really was horrible.

water bugs and cloud makers
my mother told me that if i left food in my room water bugs would come and eat my flesh while i was sleeping
and my father told me that the chemicals that come out of factories were cloud makers, i believed him till i took a science class.

...some things from New Jersey
here are some things i hear in New Jersey

"yesh" = yes
"you da man" + "tru dat tru dat"
"blah" / "bleh" = this word can mean anything- it all depends how it is used and when it is used
"wtf" = what the fuck
"wts" = what the shit
things said among my job:
"the void" = masturbation, someone who masturbates a lot
"blink blink" / "blinking"/ "blink" = someone is creepy or you're trying to get someone to do something for you they would not normally do.
