Things I have learned that the teachers didn't teach

It's been awhile, but I figured I would see how many I would shock by making a post.

Anyway, considering I am graduating this coming Sunday, I thought this would be a great opportunity to share some of the things I have learned!

• I cannot sing, do not ask me to unless you are purposely trying to lose your hearing
• I cannot dance, I still do it just looks rather scary
• I cannot dance latin style, the hips refuse to move independently of the shoulders
• I run/walk better in heels (meaning I should put lifts in my combat boots)
• I am a ditz, I admit it.
• I have blonde moments, I admit it.
• Power tools for gardening + me = 2 cut extension cords
• Friends come and go, but stupid people last forever
• Knowing the Heimlich maneuver on a lizard is not useful when a human is choking
• Singing helps pass time when tying a rope bridge
• The command Eyes Right does not equal Rear March
• Do not trust anyone that thinks CPR is going to help when I have been hit in the face by a basketball
• When friends are trying to teach me spanish, have a dictionary to make sure what they are saying is the actual definition
• My friends love Dads burritos, including the hispanics
• 5<4 (you had to be there)
  
• A saber to the ear does not feel good
• a rifle to the ear does not feel good
• I am able to send a flag 20 ft in the air and not so much as blink when it comes down, throw me a rifle I duck and cover
• It is okay if the person next to you falls asleep while marching a parade
• I am a good shot... as long as I lay down or kneel
• One person can make two other people get along and be good friends, just by being in the room
• I sometimes do not catch on to things right away
• When someone says learn everything, its for a reason so don't look at them like they are crazy
• When taking a chemistry test for college it helps to remember the simple stuff as well as the complicated stuff
• Math is my friend, do not be afraid of math... except, there is no reason for half the stuff they teach us
  
• What I hear in song lyrics may not be what they actually are
• I am conversational in acronym
• I can tell a story in one breath, but I cannot guarantee if everyone will understand me
• It really is a small world after all, that's why one of my old coworkers is now my student teacher
• I'm a squeaker
• Penguins have special capabilities, not to mention they are just plain awesome
• Graham crackers have some sort of healing property
• It is humorous to watch the aftermath of one of my friends flirting with my instructors wife
• Nothing can really creep me out anymore, at least socially
  
• I am a jungle gym for a 10 yr old and a 6 yr old
• I have heard just about every blonde joke and variations there of.
• It is perfectly normal for high school students to sing the oscar meyer song
• It is also perfectly normal for high school students to be singing barney, twinkle twinkle, Im a little tea pot, and various other children's songs.
• Sleep with one eye open, especially when coming home from a competition and there is cameras

• 0 dark thirty is a perfectly normal time to get up, just make sure Mom has coffee
• It is possible to take over the world with ping pong balls, coke machines, and penguins
• Singing in my sleep is normal, sitting up and saying, "Shut the f*** up Colyer" is not
• I am the future of the US Army... That should scare people
• "I am insane with long horrible intervals of sanity." -Edgar Allan Poe
• I will always have that happy, clumsy aura about me... get over it

Thanks for watching me and supporting me through the roller coaster known as high school
