It occurs to me

It occurs to me that exam week is like lemmings.

A great deal of very boring parts, and small bits where all I want to do is go jump off a cliff.

Actually, lemmings don't (http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lemmings.htm) really suicide off cliffs. At least not on purpose. Strange but true! Or maybe, Strange but false! :)

Exam week is a lot like the popular misconception surrounding lemmings, though, I'll give you that. ;)

I knew that. Really. ;)

My metaphor makes more sense this way, since I am not leaping into exam-land of my own violition. The teachers are throwing us there.

Aaah. So our teachers are like Disney execs.

And now I'm imagining the merchandising. My cartoonish face on every kid's backpack from here to Tasmania. And sing-along CDs. "Wouldn't You Like To Be A Mutant Too?"

. . . Remind me, we are never ever ever letting Disney subsidize HeliX, no matter how friendly their theme park hiring practices are.

Oh, is that how it is?

Disney has friendly theme-park hiring practices?

I have only been to the Disney park in Paris, and I was.. not impressed.

I don't know. I think we would make an excellent cartoon. If we ... possibly eliminated some of the .. ah..

well, I just do not think Manuel would make a good Disney character.

I could probably do a lemming impression. All I'd need is one set of fuzzy ears and a nice big trampoline at the bottom.

. . . That actually sounds fun. Do we have a big trampoline?

They don't have anything against hiring mutants, anyway. And I've always heard that Eurodisney kinda sucks. No standard of comparison, though, I've never been to any of 'em.

Manny could be . . . um . . . Iago? From Aladdin?

Do we have a CLIFF?

We have a second-floor balcony. Almost the same thing.

I bet we have a trampoline SOMEWHERE, and I bet Jubilee would know where. Or Bobby.

Try the boat house or the garage. Can't remember where it got stored.

We've got one...I can't remember where it got put though. I'm sure we could find it though. *grins*

Please don't throw us off cliffs, nice teacher lady!

You have not been to any Disneyland, which is why we MUST GO TO ONE! I have looked at a map, and the Disney World in Florida is the closest. We should all go there. Students, teachers, doctors, and even Mr. Lee and Mr. Cain! We should! It would be fun!!!
