All Chapters of Jet's Set: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Mrs. Fine returned to give the final unit of the semester: Family Planning, most know it as the infamous Egg Project. Students pair off and get assigned an egg or "the baby." A lot of sitcoms have this episode and every high school girl hopes for this assignment just to spend some one-on-one time with their crush. One'd think I'd be excited about this unit. I wasn't. I was dreading this unit because pairing off meant that I'd have a one in six chance of getting Randy Smith. From the moment we met, all he did was make my days a living hell.

She was on the other couch clutching her Lisa Simpson stuffed doll and watching MTV's Spring Break. 

As fun as it was to host Aaliyah and Dana, it was also exhausting. During the school day, they got to go sightseeing. Mr. Green ventured them around the Financial District. I sat on the Charging Bull.  Mr. Febus took us around along Chelsea at nearly every gallery he had access and connections to. We were enthralled to see a wall of TVs showing a guy having sex with a watermelon. Andy Warhol once said that art is anything you can get away with. I was used to getting out of class but to actually venture into the cit
