Along with being a new parent, I also have the joys of experiencing my first real job.
I coordinate the tutoring program in our athletic department and also work with students as a learning specialist of sorts. Pretty much every afternoon leaves me feeling like a small tornado
(consisting of all 6 foot plus humans and one smaller point guard) just blew through my office. It also leaves my mind spinning with thoughts of "what did that even mean?!" At this point, though, we've spent so much time together that I just come out and ask.
Our time in study hall goes a little something like this: I help increase their writing skills; they increase my street cred. I've been told I'm cooler now since I've spent time with them. (...but of course, they are the ones that told me that. Does it still count?) Let's just say that I'm sharpening my English skills in more ways than one. And I love it.
Here's what I'm learning:
Wiggin
Basketball team says: "You know, it's like trippin."
Clown
Urban Dictionary says:
2. clown: A person who is humourous without intention, therefore is a dumb BLEEP. (censor!)
Already
Urban Dictionary says:
1. already: Houston, TX's gangsta resident way to say 'Fo Sho' or 'Yeah.'
- You gotta hit this club with us mayne - Already
2. already: Short for "you already know." Used in Texas slang, it's an affirmation. Pronounced: "aw reddy"
Basketball team says: exactly the same thing.

Chickionary

1. chickionary: A list of girls phone numbers from A-Z. The same as a little black book.

*Surprisingly, I do have a pretty diverse vocabulary thanks to my time spent in the 318, but this was a new one. Apparently I'm just behind the times.
There are so many more, but I'll just have to rely on Baylor's #24 for my quotes of the day. He's basically hilarious. Without trying.
Until next time, I'll be posted like a stamp. (Compliments of Mr. Dunn.)
