Songs to Remember: Don't Save Me - HAIM

        Apparently there's only about 20 school days left. I'm hoping next year's going to be different, as in my classmates. I want to meet new people.

        So we're reading up this book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor. We also watched a couple YouTube video documentaries on the holocaust, featuring footage recorded of dead bodies. What fun.

        Seriously, how many more books on the Holocaust are we going to read. I'm not saying we shouldn't read em' at all, just don't cram all the details down our throat. And please don' show us dead bodies from the 1940's. I've seen enough dead bodies in my 15 years of living.

        Skipping Biology because there's never anything really exciting, we're starting to do some water-color painting in Drawing class. Except, there's not exactly any color, it's mostly just black and white. The teacher had us vote on whether we wanted to do water-color painting, or this "Asian Sumi-E painting". Of course we wanted to do the Asian painting.

        It consisted of like, channeling our "chi" into our brush strokes while we're painting the "soul" of whatever we were painting. People have studied this "Sumi-E" painting for years, and we're only going to be doing it for a week so I'm not expecting to be good at it right off the bat. Very different from what I've drawn before, therefore it's exciting.

        Physical education, oh physical education. Please don't remind me of softball ever again. Our team got completely OBLITERATED, DEMOLISHED, whatever you want to call it. We sucked hard for our last day playing softball.

        Our team was a fairly average team, with only like 2 good players overall (maybe 3, I don't know). We had 6 people on our team and the other team had only 4, so the teacher had this really athletic dude in our class play for their team. It's now 6 against 5, and in my opinion, it's fair as it is, considering the dude was really good at making plays and such.

        Their team wasn't even that bad either, they were average at least. So to make things even more "fair", the teacher played for their team as well to make it an "even" 6 versus 6. The teacher taught for a long time, playing physical education softball for years and years.

        To get my point straight, their team was over-powered. The final score was like 1-18. Guess which score was ours? Yep, 1. We got one point in total and it was from a home-run from our star player. The other team had several home-runs. After we had 1 point and they had like 12, the teacher was like "Okay, you guys could do this by yourselves now". How did she expect us to comeback from a 12 point lead? One thing I'll remember from playing softball is for me to "Get off the base!", as quoted from my teacher.

        In geometry, things were going okay, but then some girl was like "This is pointless, we won't ever have to do this in life" or something like that. We were studying on how to draw congruent angles and stuff using a "compass". You know, that pointy thing that makes perfect circles.

        Then my teacher got upset and told the class "I'll let you guys decide what we study next. We could just skip this chapter if you want. It'll be on the test, but I'm sure you'll all do fine" and I'm just like "Auuuugh, these kids can't just persevere through 50 minutes a day of using a compass?" WHat I don't like is how the teacher has to take it out on the whole class rather than the people causing the problem. In my opinion, Geometry is "easy as f***" as some people say, like me. Definitely not hard.

        The part of the day that made me smiled was in 6th period, where Tn's friend told the teacher how it was Tn's birthday today (which I did not know). The whole class sang happy birthday and then the teacher was like "Woohoohooo!" Cheering for Tn I guess, he did it several more times since people enjoyed it.

        It made me smile because I couldn't believe what was happening. I just smiled like a camera was pointed at me and quietly was like "What the f***!". It was awesome, I like it when my teachers yell "Wooohoohooo!" out loud in the classroom like that.

        I literally just read a stupid comment on Facenovel. I'll talk about it later. Right now, I got to read a book. I only do it if I want to be tired. See you tomorrow.
