Today I was at work bored out of my mind when I, for some reason, started thinking of the first few days, weeks, months of my senior year of highschool, which is when I moved to the US from Mexico. As most of you know, yeah, I already spoke english and there wasn't THAT much of a culture shock for me, but there was a LOT of shit I didn't know, so here's a few things that I remembered today and shit I eventually learned(You probably won't fucking believe the shit I didn't know...), mostly with the help of people around who had the patience to explain shit and where nice enough not to laugh at my fucking face:
WhoEver-"We have an assembly in a half hour."
Elsa-"What the hell is an assembly?"
----
WhoEver-"What was your score on the SAT's?"
Elsa-"What the hell is the SAT's?"
----
WhoEver-"What's your GPA?"
Elsa-"What the hell is a GPA?"
----
WhoEver-"What lunch do you have?"
Elsa-"What do you mean? I have lunch when everybody else in school has lunch."
WhoEver-"...Umm, no. There's A,B,C & D lunch, which one do you have?"
Elsa-"You mean people have lunch at different times of the day?"
WhoEver-"...Ummm, yeah...you didn't know?"
Elsa-"...no..."
(In Mexico, I went to really small private schools, so just the kids in kindergarten would eat lunch at a different time, the rest of the school would have lunch at the same time.)Hahahaha, I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.
----
WhoEver-"Where's your homeroom?"
Elsa-"What the hell is a homeroom?"
----
WhoEver-"Do you go on AIM?"
Elsa-"What the hell is AIM?"
----
WhoEver-"Do me a favor, grab my phone and text that guy back 'L.O.L.' ".
Elsa-"What the fuck does 'L.O.L' mean?"
----
WhoEver-"Are you on myspace?"
Elsa-"What the hell does that even mean?"
----
WhoEver-"Do you smoke trees?"
Elsa-"What do you mean do I smoke tr...OH!, no I don't smoke trees, sorry..."
----
WhoEver-"Can I bum a cig from you?"
Elsa-"Can you what a cig...huh?"
----
Yeah, I know I'm slightly humilliating myself, but it's Ok, cause you can't say that shit ain't funny. Oh, man, I am awesome.
