Week 40

Songs to Remember: La Song - Rain

        There's this one person I know who said "I'm actually a loner" which doesn't really makes sense to me considering they talk to more people in a day than I do in a week.

        Uuuhh, so we read some pages in our new book that we're reading for English called "The Old Man and the Sea" which of course has to do with an old man and the sea. I just hope it'll be like the movie "Castaway" and the dude makes a volleyball become his best friend named "Wilson". WILSON!! Then we watched a few videos featuring sword-fishes or "marlins" as they are called.

        We had a test today for Biology, I knew it was coming, therefore I studied right before the teacher gave out the tests. It wasn't that hard, I think I got a B- on it, which in my opinion is fine. Good thing I did last minute checks on frog anatomy 'cause you'll never know when it'll come in handy in life. After we were done with the tests, we were allowed the use the chrome-books to work on our group presentation, which is due this week/next week. I proceeded to play the Rubik's cube app on Google.

        For Drawing class, today was more of an get-an-idea day really. She showed us a sideshow showing some artwork made by this dude named "Banksy" who is like this mystery artist who paints pictures on the streets showing social issues. With that, we were supposed to come up with some rough sketches for a cool metaphorical picture that has to do with our topic, mine being pesticides. Also, she showed us the schedule for our shifts for our school's art show. I signed up to be an "art guard" as she was offering community service ours for it. I'll be guarding the art on Thursday during 3rd period.

        Oh my god, I never knew that basketball would be so bad. We started playing practice games today, but it wasn't very enjoyable to say the least. The teacher said that we'd be able to pick our own teams, in groups of three so I was like "YES. That means me and my other 2 buddies in my class could actually be in group for once without having it be groups of 2, 4, 5, 6, etc." Then my teacher proceeded to say "But ..." and I was like "No. No way. Watch, just watch, she's gonna say something where I won't be able to be in a team with my buddies ..."

        And whadya know? She said "There must be one opposite gender for each team so either 2 guys and 1 girl or 2 girls and 1 guy per team" and I was just like "WHY" I ended up being in a group with 2 other girls and even though I'd be happy with this, I really wasn't.

        My team was so bad and there was like no teamwork at all. It was sooo excruciatingly painful playing with them. All they did was pass the ball to each other. When I had the ball, they were busy blocking other people and I'm just like "Why? WE'RE ON OFFENSE" Even though it was a practice game, the score was like our 1 to 9 or something like that. And yes, I made that 1 point thank you very much. Basketball is going to be one hell of a pain alright.

        God, I was so pissed off. Then 5th period came and it was insanely easy. Umm, yeah. Teacher gives us a worksheet to do, you bet I'ma finish it. And, that's pretty much all we're doing.

        Then came Geography, one of my favorite classes right now, I guess. I saw a drawing of instructions for creating a crossword puzzle on the board and I was just like "Please don't make us do a crossword ..." And whadya know? We got to make a crossword puzzle. Using 30 words, 43 if we want a 20-point extra credit. You know I gotta go for that extra 20-points 'cause I got to finish with at least a B before the school year ends.

        I worked so hard on the cross-word puzzle. The teacher was like "Only one person so far out of all the periods have been able to fit all 43 onto here". A couple other people in my class fit all 43, and I actually did fit all 43. I worked so hard, quick, and smooth, you have no idea. I was literally rolling in the thinking at the time and with that, I got to fit all 43 vocabulary words onto that one sheet of squares. I felt very accomplished. I heard this one girl talking to this dude and she called him (jokingly) an over-achiever for having fit 41 words. I thought about if I were an over-achiever? Hah, who am I kidding?

        Sooo tomorrow is Tuesday. Yeah, nothing special. Anyways, see you tomorrow.
