SKATE BOY---NO LA WASHAWUASHESSSS

He was a boy; she was a girl
Can i make it any more obvious?
He was a punk; she did ballet
What more can i say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell
Secretly she wanted him as well.
But all of her friends stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes.
He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth.
Five years from now, she sits at home
Feeding the baby
She's all alone
She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rocking' up MTV.
She calls up her friends, they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags along and stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down.
He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamin' on his guitar
Does your pretty face see what he's worth?
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boys mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See that man that boy could be
There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy, and I' m just a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
We are in love, haven't you heard
How we rock each other’s world
I'm with the skater boy, i said see you later boy
I'll be back stage after the show
I'll be at a studio
Singing the song we wrote
About a girl you used to know

Avril Lavigne

The Café’s food
Hello people of the UVM! I’m Alan from 401 and this I’m going to talk about the cafeteria, especially about the food of it, the food we eat every day. First of all let’s talk about the cafeteria as well.
Well as you can know there is a great variety of food, candies, junk food, sodas, etc. I know that is very delicious, the personal of the cafeteria that works there treat you very well, the area is clean and secure. The UVM’s cafeteria has four televisions, many trash baskets, it has a lot of benches were you can eat and talk with your friends. In fact the installations are very well; actually we can’t say bad things about it.
Now the great moment of the truth!! THE FOOD INSIDE THE CAFETERIA OF UVM!! Yeah baby! To my mind the food is good, we all know it, but is a quite expensive; fry frees $18???? F### you!! Sabritas’s products more than $5?!!! When in any store near your house you can get them no more than $5!! Damn it! I like very much the “moo yet s” with cheese and “free hall it toes” and I think that they have a good price, instead of the “seen crow knee saw does” they have a higher price. Most of the students of UVM can pay for the food but come on! Is too expensive I mean the “duh knee toes” with a café of Nescafe $45? Damn! I can buy something better to my girlfriend. The other day I went to the café and I ask for a pair of “moo yet s” so the beautiful and gentle woman who attend me took my “moo yet s” and put them inside the microwave, after few minutes another woman took out MY “moo yet s” and she gave them to another guy what the hell! What happened with my freaking “moo yet tea toes”!! But at last they gave me other “moo yet s”. In my personal opinion the food is expensive and I think that it can be better according to their prices, I mean is a lot! After all we have a good cafeteria in our school…juts kidding….is quite expensive…not kidding.
Well that’s all for today thanks for reading my summary and opinion about the UVM’s cafeteria. I’m Alan from 401 if you want to meet me here my e-mail is alan_iverzon12@hotmail.com. See you next time. Happy holidays enjoy them because they´re only 5 days, have lots of fun!

Alan from 401
