would you care to join me for some sandwhiches and milk?

I recently had to present on Black Death. It’s actually super intriguing. Did you know where ring around the rosy came from? Black death!::
Ring around the rosy (the cheeks are rosy, the buboes (pock) appeared on the cheek which was the ring.
A pocketful of posies (there are 2 different answers to this. 1. Posies were said to prevent plague, so naturally they carried them around. 2. When the person would die of plague, they would put posies in their pockets so that nobody would touch them.
Ashes, Ashes (cremation became popular at this time. This was partially because you would have more dead bodies by the time you buried the first batch. Yes, people would die that fast
We all fall down (be creative, this means death.
--so in case you wondered why in every scary movie, there is always some little blond girl singing this very creepily with her friends, this is what makes it so creepy. Can you imagine children happily singing this while the message is gruesome? They would sing this so that people would know not to enter the town because they had the plague. Easier they hear it in a children’s song than to get the plague.
Another Black Death Inspired thing would be the Pied Piper.
So, yea there was this guy in Hamelin (the type of garment he wore was referred to as "pied" and the piper part is obvious) and he thought he knew how to get the plague infected rats to leave the city. For a price. The king and townspeople agreed, so he played his pipe and lured all of the infected rats into the river. They die. Yay! So, when he came back, they refused to pay him. This guy was super angry. So when all of the grown ups were at church for some feast, he got an idea. So he played his pipe and lured 110 of the town’s children into the river.
So, that’s pretty nice. Personally, I find this fascinating. Grown ups are cruel to children. Many of the fairytales are actually really scary. Like Little Red Riding Hood, think about it. I think we had some bell ringer on nursery stories with double meanings. Isn’t life sick?

Green is the color of puke anyways

I don’t know if anyone was listening/ heard me when I told them about the Green School. Less commonly known as YYY1, yes that is pronounced "Triple Why One". Or my oldest and best friend, Kayla. Well, Kayla learned about the "Green School" at her high school, so did a lot of other schools, but not ours (we cant afford green). This is a newly built "eco-friendly" school. They were to use laptops instead of paper and all other kinds off good stuff.
The consular even set up her office in Kayla’s school because YY1 is too new for them to set up anything yet (something stupid like that, I don’t know). Kayla and her friend Mariana, went to the consular all the time to find out when acceptance letters would be set out. And every time they asked, they received a large smile and reassurance that the letter will come the 18th. There was a good chance they would get in because they were accepting 800 students and only 450 had turned in their applications.
When they finally got their letters they read something like this::
-We appreciate your application into YY1 but we are saddened to –inform you that YY1 will only have a freshmen class next year.
I find this disappointing, why excite so many high schools and not accept anyone after all. The green school is up to someone, and if anyone can apply next year, I highly recommend they don’t because green is the color of puke, garbage, mean aliens, and disappointment.
