Wow, everyone was so nice about me writing about them that I can now start my chronicles about Bus 682 today!
Morning:
This morning was livelier than usual considering that four of us freshmen were in Latin 2 and had a large map project due. We sat there comparing maps and discussing what the others might have. Finally, we all settled down to rest for a short 10 minutes before we got to school
Afternoon:
This afternoon, we were bouncing off the wall with sugar and energy we were bouncing from seat front to seat back to the bus wall to the aisle and the person sitting across the aisle. One freshman was sketching cartoon/caricatures of some kids and the Sam kid was begging to be drawn. The artist put off and put off drawing Sam until there was no time left at all. The artist was forced to agree to draw Sam tomorrow! There were a few minor "fights" (we prefer the word 'lively debates' rather than 'fight' because fight sounds violent - not that it wasn't...), but overall, just another regular ride.
If you were wondering about the buddy-buddy system, I'll explain it to you. The buddy-buddy system is a way to rank the closeness of two people, hence the name buddy-buddy system. However, you can add up to ten 'buddy' s to signify a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. You always have one buddy that means friend (not ranking of closeness) in each buddy-buddy-etc. that you have. Here is a breakdown of the buddy-buddy system:
Buddy : friend
Buddy-buddy : close friend
Buddy-buddy-buddy : close, close friend
Buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy : close, close, close friend
Basically you add another 'close' to the meaning for every 'buddy' that you add to the phrase.
The formula is:
Buddy + (rank of closeness)buddy = (number of 'buddy' added)close + friend
For example:
For a rank of pretty close friends or a ranking of 4 (on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being just a friend and 10 being girlfriend-boyfriend), you might say
Buddy + (4)buddy = (4)close + friend
Buddy + buddy+buddy+buddy+buddy = close+close+close+close + friend
Buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy = close, close, close, close friend
NOTE: the buddy-buddy system is more for a girl and guy, but can be used for a girl and girl or a guy and guy without a ranking of 10
So, there's the buddy-buddy system, don't worry, there won't be a test on it!
Homework beckons,
Little Star

ReplyDeleteand i have no buddy-buddys that r more than two for your imformation!
Your buddy buddy explanation sounds like math - algebra in particular. I guess the people on the bus are all good in math to be able to really understand...
ReplyDeleteI really like your posts - they've got a great perspective on the happenings not only on the bus, but of the people on the bus. Is it only for high schoolers? Keep up the great blogging; I look forward to reading more about all these people.
