Week: 28
Songs to Remember: Shower Later - Gary

        I was expecting some more plot twists to come along. It only took about half-way for s*** to happen. And it did.

        Gonna skip around a lot 'cause I wanna get to the good parts, and because I want to sleep. So, World History. We spent about 30 minutes doing part of a worksheet with like, predications and outcomes of countries after WWII. Basically it was Germany's fault. And, we'll continue it tomorrow. English. We continued watching the movie and surprisingly we didn't finish it today, we still got about 30 minutes left or so. Not sure if that includes the credits or not. I know this 'cause the teacher paused it and it shows the time bar at the bottom. I hate it when that happens when I'm watching a movie (not at a theater), 'cause then I'd know if that would be the ending of the movie or not, or something. Also, my teacher talked about CAHSEE testing soon.

        She was like "Guess what" and we were like "What" and she was like "CAHSEE testing next month!" But then she was like "Don't worry, the English part of the CAHSEE is a joke really" and we were like "What". She said that we would have to fail ON PURPOSE, to fail the test. We'd have to be asleep to fail it. She added " Currentlyz after seeing all your guys' work, all of you will probably pass it without even trying. So, I won't need to really talk about it at all, I'll just remind you when the testing date is near". And I was like "Oh, well that's a load off my shoulders". She also said it was at like, an 8th grade level. So, it's gonna be pretty, pretty easy. In my mind, when they said that 90% of people who take it pass on their first try, I was like "Aight". Now that my teacher confirmed it, I was like "Aight. So this test was designed for chumps then". She even said that this test is an insult to our intelligence, heh.

        Chemistry, sane boring stuff. Pop quiz today, but we get to use our notes. Fairly easy. Uhh, P.E. I forgot that we're switching every other day so it goes like "Monday: weights, Tuesday: cardio, Wednesday: weights.." and so on. A bit more confusing really, gotta keep track of that, what we're doing in each room, where we're going, what days we run a warm-up lap, etc. In shorter terms, I'd rather just have it be 3 weeks of cardio, then 3 weeks of weights. She said that she's making it like this for it not to be boring. Ehhhh. I could care less really now that I know that we just do stuff in a treadmill room instead of running laps around and around.

        And umm, yeah. There's two rooms we're using, one is a cardio room, the other is the weights room. The cardio room is just treadmills, treadmill accessories, etc. The weights room is just bench presses, dumbbells, machines, weights accessories, etc. That's all there is to it. And so, after P.E, I do as I normally do and head on over to my usual spot. My buddy Drew comes over as the bell rings for lunch (the one that's kinda hyper and is always talking about creating an, uh, "African American genocide"), and converses with me. He mentions how he misses having Mr.M, his English teacher. He explained to me how he had him originally during the beginning of the year. I was like "Oh, you switched classes?" He was like "No, he got fired or something" and I was like "Wait, what?!" He explained how Mr.M was dumped by his girlfriend and like, got pretty depresses. He was quiet and depressed, and sat in his chair for a while. He was apparently fired or removed from the district 'cause he was caught drunk here, probably from drinking his sadness away. I asked if he said anything before he left and other Drew was like "Nope, didn't say anything, he just disappeared".

        Damn, now that was f***ing shocking. I did not expect anything to happen to him. Mr. M was a cool dude. I believe that the district should give him another chance. He got dumped by his girlfriend, after having been married and divorced three times (don't mention it). Now he's been fired or s***, that's just gonna drive him harder into depression. When I had him last year, he never showed sadness, he only had two emotions only and that was either happy, or pissed off, and that's only when kids were talking two much or f***ing around. Damn, now how is it going to work with the students who are in the E-Tech academy? They need another teacher, now. Also, I tried looking up info on this, not one document had been published oine 'bout this. Thought it'd make news, apparently not.

        Anyways, that's that. After lunch came 5th period. We had an easy lesson today, aaand we got to see our scores from the last quiz we took. Yep, 43/58. Ehhhhh. That's a really solid B-, barely a B, but ehhh, I'll take it. I thought I did a bit better, apparently not. There was one questions which I was thinking about answering "Not possible", but, with all the room space there was under the question, I expected no "Not possible"'s. But, apparently it was. Wow. And also, we got to see our grade average for the class. Mine? 84.9%. Yep, straight up B. NOT BAD. I'll take it. Way better than I thought I'd be now. But, it's probably just because of the homework turned in. You get a 60% probably if you just turn all homework in. Quizzes and tests, maybe B's in all of em' and end up with, a B.

        So, Chinese class, where all s*** happens now really. I come in, expect there to be seat changes but no, there wasn't. Not yet. We sat down, passes up some homework, took the test, all multiple choice, no pinyin, thank you Confucius, aaand I get an 82/100. Not bad, I'll take it. After that, THEN we switch seats. Hehe, oh god. I see that one cute girl going to her new seat, I'm like "Oh please Confucius, just this once" and I reach in the bin, see that I got "7", and look for seat 7. Which, happened to be right there in front of me, right near the door to the right of the classroom. I look at my team members aaand, well, it wasn't bad. I thought it was aight, I said I'd take it. But of course, this was only half the seating part. The teacher had to switch people around to make it equal boys and girls in each group (for the most part). I see that that one cute girl, let's call her Vh, is sitting with an empty spot right next to her, in a group of just her and 2 other girls. That right there was the holy grail of seats. When the teacher asked me to move "over there", I was like "Oh my- is this happening right now?"

        Right when I was about to sit in that spot, the teacher was like "Drew, no this spot". And I was like "Oh". So I go to sit that seat which was like a foot away from the empty seat next to Vh, I thought it was an alright spot, until I saw who was next to me to my right. Yeah. It was El. Ahehehe, now that's what I call a plot twist! But really, you could feel the temperature increase in this spot. Like damn, I had way too many layers. And so, the teacher moved some more people around, and I was like "Well, this is going to be a long 3 weeks". Just then, the teacher moves VH over to the seat behind me. And I'm just like "Well now, looks like this is going to be an even longer 3 weeks, heh". So now I have a nice spot, one that I had always requested, but at the cost of the unforgiving El next to me, heh. Well, I got what I wanted right? Ehhhhhhh.

        We got out our books and did a short preview of the next lesson and after we all started packing up our stuff to leave, El just rushes over to the teacher, like "gotta go fast", and I'm like "Oh my- is she seriously going to ask the teacher to switch to another seat?" And whadya know, "Oh my- she f***ing did". See, now I REALLY know that I made the right decision to ask her back in November 'cause this s*** is ridiculous, heh, like come on. And damn, did she look f***ing relived to not be sitting next to me. Like, it's a f***ing temporary seat in a f***ing high school language class! Oh my- this is just too f***ing gold man, I wish I had a digital version of this so I can add it to my dank memes folder, heh. Too god damn ridiculous.

        Also, while we were previewing the new lesson, the teacher was talking about how we'll be doing an activity that has to do with us going on "dates" with our partners (the ones sitting next to us) and keeping a list of activities done together, like walks in the park, picnics, etc. The last couple stuff she made up, but I'm not sure about the "dating" activity thing, I don't know if we'll actually do that activity or not. And yes, educational instructional, not actual. I bet El was probably thinking like "Oh f***, oh f***, oh f***, I need to get the f*** outta this seat" and just, gotta go fast to the teacher to beg yo change seats. Jesus, why do I even still mention her in my posts? She shouldn't even be part of the series anymore. But, I keep her in 'cause it's funny how she reacts to just me existing, heh.

        Anyways, this one girl's gonna be sitting in the spot next to me now. Vh still sits in the back of me, along with this dude next to her to complete our group. Ehhhhhhh. Really wished VH would be to my right rather than right behind, buuuut, I asked for at least a group, I got it, I ain't complaining. And umm, yeah. Today was Wednesday, so I told my mom I'd stay after school 'till 3 for, reasons. My buddies had a swim meet at another school so they couldn't stay. I was expecting to do homework alone, but an old buddy of mine, or actually, one whom I don't talk to often but was my buddy (unconditionally) last year in P.E, came along and was like "Whatever". He didn't have band practice 'till 3:30 PM or so, so he just stayed with me, on his phone, looking at Twitch, watching Twitch play Pokemon, bidding on CS:GO, buying steam games, etc, as I'm doing homework. Company, it was fine.

        I'm STILL expecting more s*** to happen this week. It's only Wednesday, tomorrow's Thursday, then it's it the event I've always been waiting for. Well, at least for a couple weeks or so. And uh, yeah, see you tomorrow.
