| I just got this idea one day, June 11th actually, sitting in Calculus. This was supposed to be our final exam period, but since we had already taken it, there was nothing to do but watch U-571 on this kid's laptop for two hours. I mean, the seniors weren't even there. So, anywho, it started from there, and I finished June 12th when we were watching Saving Private Ryan in history, because we had taken the final there as well. This is just basically one of those annoying list thingies that you see every so often, so enjoy! |
