a trendy name

And I thought I was stupid…

Typically after English class, a group of classmates would go outside and just talk. It has evolved into a ritual and it's just pretty neat. They even want to form an exclusive club on the school called the thinktank and we would have enough club members to start off. We talk about anything from sex, politics, schools, magic (one guys a magic guy) and etc.

Well, that's not what this post is about; it was just something I wanted to say . I wanted to go to In-N-Out after class that day since some of my friends were already there. I asked the thinktank and a few came away. By a few, I mean two. One was going to go but he needed to lose weight. He didn't need to lose weight. Anyways, when we got their we met up with two other friends but one had to leave so there were four people left: me, Mat, Matt, and Vineet.

Now, while we were eating, school and what not came up. Went from school to other subjects. Then we hit the subject of Australia which was the result of places we wanted to visit. Me and Mat were talking about it but then all of a sudden Matt chimed in with something along the lines of this:

1/3rd of Australia's mass is covered with water

Hold the phone. The hell? When stupid things like this are said, I literally have to sit and think about it and review to see if I was taught wrongly in my life.

Mat decided to correct him…

Well you know Australia's a big island right….and that has to be surrounded by water

Man, when Matt thought about what he said, it was so freaking hilarious. I mean, in the end he meant to say that a third of Aussie's population lives next to water but the wording on the previous phrase was just too funny.

And you would think things like this would just happen once but few mins later another subject was brought up along the lines of the previous one and Matt decided chimed in saying….

Well, Madagascar is a continient you know..

What the hell? Good thing he picked up his mistake right when he said it but damn, that is some stupid crap coming out of his mouth. Mind you, this is a honors student and even though honors student doesn't automatically make someone smart, you have to be somewhat intelligent and hard working to get into the program.

We are going to have those conversations as the topic of our discussion on Monday in the thinktank
