Each year, Seabury welcomes numerous transfer students, but this year we have the addition of an unfamiliar face, thirteenth grader and sea sponge Marina McDrippy.
McDrippy recently celebrated her five thousandth birthday, stating that her wish was to “join the terrestrials.” When asked about her favorite activity back home, she says, “Sitting on the ocean floor and filtering water.”
Before transferring to Bishop Seabury, McDrippy says that she attended “an underwater volcano. I hate school. In the past twelve years, I haven’t taken any classes, which might be why I got held back,” but she hopes that Bishop Seabury offers a pore-tune telling class.
For extracurricular activities, McDrippy says, “My favorite sport to watch is hobby horsing, so I hope I am able to participate in a slight variation of it: hobby sponging,” but upon hearing that Seabury does not offer these options, McDrippy says that she will participate in powerlifting.
Upon asking if McDrippy has any siblings, she says, “They all died one thousand years ago, and I had quite a fright when I saw the jar in biology holding their bodies.”
Like many people, McDrippy expresses her interest in steaming-hot actors, stating that her celebrity crush is “the shark from Jaws.”
McDrippy does not participate in traveling, saying, “What’s travel?” and when asked where she would like to travel if she could go anywhere in the world, McDrippy says, “Go where?”
One of McDrippy’s favorite memories was when “Christopher Columbus set sail. His boat went right over me, and it really gave me a scare when I heard them screaming that they had found land. They probably built Seabury there.”
McDrippy also says that she experienced the sinking of the Titanic: “When the ship sank, Rose’s blue necklace fell right on my head, and I found that quite irksome.”
In addition to these tidbits of information, McDrippy says, “I am the world’s simplest multi-cellular living organism, which is why I self-nominate myself for prefect.”
