Students and teachers would come to the windows and watch the seniors as they made...

There are a few things Big Brother and I have in common or I should say that we both aren’t big fans of. One is waking up early. Since birth I am pretty sure Big Brother’s bedtime has averaged out to ten or eleven. It used to be a solid eleven every night before he started school.

Another thing we share is our dislike of having to stop watching a show when we are in the middle of what we think to be a reall...
