MORE BOOK FOR YOUR BUCK: Here you go...
CHAPTER NINE - PURPOSE-DRIVEN TRICKERY
"Day 318: Up to this point all the problems an RA has experienced has been to ignore students between 3 and 10pm. However, frequent use of this tactic, though results in healthy, sane and alert RAs... we come to the issue of getting rid of the monotonous work ethic, we will refer to this a utter boredom. If all one does is just ignore students all day you will experience severe amounts of boredom (unless you have a quality DVD selection to choose from). A substitute method that requires more work than an RA is use to but truly the fruits of your labor yield ten-fold is trickery. Trickery by definition is the use of anything that fools another into believing something that simply isn't true or causing said person to do something quite silly which invites a great deal of mocking at their own expense. Throughout the ages trickery has been called the "tae-kwon-do of the wits" as it is the person who brings the humiliation onto himself/herself thus removing you from all blame.
Trickery, I have found, not only stimulates the mind of the RA but enhances creativity when the need for activities is called upon, the trickier male RAs are well-known for their creative genius and thus recognized by their peers and school administration by earning the title, "the Man". Trickier female RAs are applauded for their efforts but dubiously labeled "weird". It is the author's prayer that such stereotypes and discrimination will be done away with at international schools. Women have an amazing mind to achieve amazingly tricky acts upon their male and female students and not get hit with a sexual harassment charge that a male RA might incur should he attempt to pull a trick on a female student. Men, consider yourselves duly warned.
Lord, help us to be more trickier with our students! In Jesus' name, Amen."
GETTING COCKY: I saw a rooster standing outside a church as I drove to school one day... it looked pissed.
"Heeere they come to snuff the rooster... you know he aint gonna die."

yah yah....only one of them was in high school...hence the nickname felony. anyways, we played clue, life, and battle of the sexes.
I like the idea of this new chapter, but it was kinda slow to start off with. Also longer than the others too. I think a couple of great examples would greatly increase its readability. Hey how come your chapters skip from 3 to 8 and 9. Are you holding chapters out on us?
(lately i've been trying to be more honest with my "constructive criticism", especially at school, I'm good at picking apart certain design work. Just trying to be more vocal with why or why not it doesn't work or does work...hope i wasn't too hard on ya)
dude i meant to post a different profile pic...check this one out
that is hilarious...I mean..inspirational.
I'm freaked first of all, that you are praying to be more trickier than you already are, and second you took the time to take a shot of a pissed rooster... lol
should you really be using such language in your post. i don't know if it can be g-rated anymore. might have censor it for sure!
I love your book, it is right up there with "I Kissed Dating Hello" by Donnie Young and Aaron Cox. I too write books when stressed, but they are a little different than yours are. I have my RBS paper and my final Ethno due tomorrow and all I can think of is this story in my head...agh!!!!!!!!!
i can't take responsibility for the language contained in comments. nor can i assume responsibility for any inappropriate assumptions made my generally wholesome content!
THAT roaster was really annoying yesterday..
it's now tuesday...your last post was saturday. i don't think those cocks are doing their thing!!
