Get the worth waiting for mug.A waste of time curriculum provided to high schools in California provided by the CSU, meant to torture high school students taking honors and AP classes.
Consists of endless units, each based on one theme usually comprised of several articles. These articles are each accompanied by a 10-page thick list of "activities" that are the most repetitive shit in the world. They ask the same damn question ten times, phrased ten different ways, Sometimes, even more than that.
All meant to get college-bound students to begin analyzing nonfiction texts at a college level. But all it is is a waste of time. Most boring shit EVER.
It puts the "anal" in analysis.

From actual CSU Expository Reading and Writing Course packet:
Activity 12:
"What are two major assertions the author makes in this essay?"
"What does the author want us to believe?"
"What is the writer's purpose?"
Real life reactions from high school students:
Honors English 2 student" I hate this packet!
AP Language & Comp junior: I hate this packet!
AP Lang & Comp senior: I hate this packet! Guess what? IT DOESN'T GO AWAY.

Get the CSU Expository Reading and Writing Course mug.an act or action that is TOTALLY random, flummoxing, and improvisational, that leaves or those surrounding the individual flabbergasted and thinking did that person just say or do that?? It is usually following by a shaking of the head, the dropping of the jaw and an OMG!!!! Prompting an IMMEDIATE post on FACEBOOK, MYSPACE OR TWITTER. *CANN0N* Still progressing….

Get the Kanye Westing mug.The time after someone requests to be your friend on Facebook or some other social media site. This is a lag period in which the invitee receives the offer, contemplates, evaluates the person's looks, number of mutual friends, other hot friends, and general demeanor before accepting the request. This period is very similar to the "two day rule" when getting someone's digits. By stretching the friend request waiting period ever so slightly, it appears that you are not so desperate for a new friend addition.
Guy 1: "Yo I just became friends with this smoking hot chick other day. You should add her and look at her photos."
Guy 2: "Already tried to add her after I saw you became friends with her. She hasn't accepted my request yet."
Guy 1: "Damn. You must be in the friend request waiting period.... good luck with all that."

Get the Friend Request Waiting Period mug.Low brow, formulaic fiction novels usually only found in grocery stores and drug stores. The only time they do get noticed/purchased is when the individual is forced to wait in line for a long time.
With titles like "No Escape" and "The Final Surrender," Bob figured both novels had to be good...after standing in line for 20 minutes. He only realized what he had when he got home; the novels were both waiting line fiction.
