Porkchops in Vietnam

By

By Darnell Dwumfour

March 18th is a special day for pork chops. It is the day the Porkchops travel to Vietnam, a group trip with eight handsome men who made it out of the group chat. 

They didn't know what to think of the trip. Would it be good, or would it be a flop? They were hoping it was worth the time they spent planning. Micah Pickett (12) said, "I thought it wasn't going to be as good because not all of our friends were coming." Little did he know that it was the opposite of that. 

As the Porkchops arrived in Vietnam and the Airbnb, everyone thanked Romeo Kontsas (12) for picking the most luxurious Airbnb. Then, the first thing they did after that was go outside and explore. Everyone was excited, so nobody thought about searching for good restaurants nearby to eat or go to a mall. Instead, they made it seem like they were stranded without money and the internet (even though everyone had data and money besides Jason Choi (12). 

Darnell Dwumfour (12), the navigator, searched for the nearest beach on Google Maps and led the pork chops along a dangerous 30-minute walk downtown. Of course, when Darnell led the Porkchops along this journey, everyone started to doubt him, mainly because they were walking along sketchy streets and pathways that looked like a dead end. Thankfully, Darnell was a good navigator, and he led everyone to the beach, and some of the Porkchops found food. 

However, everyone began to realize that there were no good food options near the beach. The beach was also not a recommended beach to go to because there are better beaches elsewhere. Therefore, everyone walked home in a joyful yet annoyed mood as they walked for 30 minutes to find food, not to find food but happy because the journey there made memories that will be cherished. 

The Porkchops returned to their Airbnb and ordered delicious Texas Chicken on grab food. 

And that's a wrap of the first day in Vietnam with the Porkchops.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
