So I have always been enthusiastic about cake. Anyone who really knows me knows that. But as a second grader it's hard to control that enthusiasm and I didn't see why I had to. Until it got really quiet and well, really embarrassing.
Picture it, you are sitting in your desk towards the end of another hard day of single digit multiplication and with only three (!) recesses. When Patricks mom knocks on the class room door, cupcakes in hand. I mean this was about to be the best cupcake you have ever had, with that signature store-bought taste and the fun little superman ring on top. The whole class is chattering away, seemingly unresponsive to the enormity of the event at hand. You just can't take your excitement anymore and a second later you find yourself standing atop a plastic chair yelling, "CUPCAKES" at the top of your little lungs. Then you realize, from the looks your getting from your best friend, that what you did was probably not the best idea. As you slink back down into your chair and Mrs. C (the scariest teacher at your school) heads your way, you know it's not going to be pretty.
Needless to say I went home with a strongly worded letter adressed to my parents and no cupcake in sight. I can laugh at it now but back then I was sure it was the worst day of my life.

My Inconspicuous Introduction
Hello internet!
I've been sitting behind my computer trying to figure out the perfect first post for this blog and out of countless attempts nothing was good enough. Thats usually how things are in my mind anyways. After attending private school for 10 years I have it stuck in my brain to always produce quality work. So things that are as simple as a blog post or a short answer question on a pop quiz have to be careful contemplated.
Although it did have some drawbacks, private school has given me a lot of material to make such a blog as this one. In other words, it was full of socially awkward experiences that are almost always funny and at my expense. Of course there will be other people involved but all shall remain anonymous for risk of losing any social status that I've managed to scrounge up in my god forsaken public high school. But before we start this (no doubt) mistake of an adventure I would like to point out a few things anyone reading this ought to know:
1. I am not a rich, snotty, self absorbed kid who lives in a mansion.
2. I think that both private and public schools give quality education to the best of their ability.
3. I urge you not to take the things I post to seriously.
Ladies and gentlemen, let the hilarity begin!
