Go to Westglades tutoring on Monday and get your form signed; go to Douglas tutoring on Tuesday and give me your form to sign; don't wear sleeveless shirts in the sun; finish all your homework before sundown; turn in your service hours right after you get them signed; when buying paper to do your homework on, make sure it is college ruled, because that way you can't do maximum work on them; write down every formula before studying them; is it true that you sing reggae in debate class?; always play music in such a way that it won't turn someone else's stomach; on Fridays always associate with scholars and not the stoners you are so bent on becoming; don't sing reggae in debate class; you mustn't help leeches, not even with homework; don't text during class - teachers will hate you; but I never sing reggae in public at all and never in debate class; this is how to do electrostatics; this is how to use integration with the electrostatics you have just learned; this is how to appear intelligent when you see respect coming down and so to prevent yourself from looking like the stoner I know you are so bent on becoming; this is how you hide your report card so that the parents don't have a fit; this is how you hide your interim so that the parents don't have a fit; this is how you do thermodynamics - far from me, because thermodynamics harbors headaches; this is how you sweep a minor; this is how you sweep an arpeggio; this is how you tap the diminished scale; this is how you smile about something you don't care about; this is how you smile about something you hate; this is how you set good habits for junior year; this is how you set good habits for high school even during senior year; this is how you set good habits for college; this is how to behave in the presence of scholars, and this way they won't recognize immediately the stoner I have warned you against becoming; be sure to study every day, even if it's with just a single day's notes; don't grow out your hair any longer - you are not a girl, you know; don't touch people's things - you might break something; don't throw insults at a bro, it may not be a bro at all; this is how to derive; this is how to integrate; this is how to achieve equilibrium; this is how to differentiate a function before it even becomes a function; if this doesn't work there are other ways, and if they don't work don't feel bad about losing a loser; this is how to fishtail around that corner, and react quick enough not to screw it up; this is how to make ends meet; always justify the means; but what if the ends don't justify the means?; you're telling me that after all you are really going to be the kind of man who will not justify the means?

This piece is about my brother's pedantic attitude towards me during high school.
