English was not exactly fun..but I’ve got a mouse.

Let’s see…The day…

It started with waking up and getting the Critters fed and ready for school. Which went fairly well…Harley had a bit of a shoe fit…Deciding his tennis shoes were too small, and that he didn’t want to wear them. [I think it was more that he wanted to wear his gym shoes instead…But he didn’t get to do that either.] He ended up wearing his water shoes, because I told him he couldn’t wear his sandals with his socks…And he amazingly wasn’t pitching a fit over wearing socks! *laughs*

Sonja took an extra long time in the bathroom…She came out with eye shadow and lip-gloss on. She actually did a really good job with it. *falls over*

Took them to school…Came home…Printed off my English Quiz…After adding a bit more to it.

By 9:32 AM I was putting a mouse in a fish tank…They seem to be coming in now that our cat population (including our mouser) has dwindled.
The Critters are absolutely thrilled to have it…Want to keep it as a pet. I keep telling them no, it’s going to get released somewhere once we get some more gathered up…As there has to be more somewhere.
I used an empty kleenex box and a composition notebook. *laughs*

Went to school…And was surprised to see Jon and Cinda walking down the sidewalk on campus! They are going to the Culinary Arts program apparently.

Prior to English starting, I scribbled out something for Pysch that I was suppose to write yesterday, and didn’t get done. [Typed it up tonight, fixed it a bit.]

English. *sigh* Was not fun today in the least. Though I’m feeling better about it now. *hugs Raya* It always helps to have someone special and important to talk to about such things.

Anyway…We split into groups…Well most people split into groups. I was left as a group of one. No one invited me…And I was too shy/scared/etc. to ask to join anyone’s group. They formed so quickly!
We were to take a cliché’ type statement, and do some analyzing to find deeper points to it, coming up with 3 or 4. Things such as: ‘What doesn’t kill us, only makes us stronger’…’Nice guys finish last’…’You don’t know what you got til it’s gone’…etc.

I picked…’Blood is thicker than water’.
I came up with 7 on my own…Though 2 of them were related/connected to 2 of the other ones.
One of the points I made was that sometimes there are people outside of the family, outside of the bloodline, that are just as, if not more, supportive…That they can mean more to you than others of your own bloodline…That despite not being of your blood, they are still family.
Guess you can say Raya and her importance to me, not only as my friend, but as my sister helped me on this ‘group’ project. [Then she helped me afterwards as well.]

In all honesty…I was feeling quite crushed…Remembering how it felt never to be a part of anything…Kind of like always being the last one picked for a team, no matter how good you may have been, or not have been, at the game you were playing.
I very nearly cried a couple times. But I sucked it up, and went to work on the assignment.

Algebra was Algebra…

Some MSN Bits from the other night

*odd discussion about hats & Critters previously*

Bill says:
I got nothin.

Raven says:
*giggles*
*hugs*
Mes?

Bill says:
Wants to only be of the equal… thats all. If I gots you, then you have me.

Raven says:
*smiles*

We got into some strange conversation last night…Guess I’ll put it here too…But feel free to ignore it.

Bill says:
As you wish.

Raven says:
*feels like somehow I can transported into The Princess Bride* *giggles*

Raven says:
got not can…How did can get in there? lol

Bill says:
That is an interesting comparison.

Raven says:
*shrugs* Just know the guy says that line to her lots. *smiles*

Bill says:
Was just thinking about the two versions of him.

Raven says:
Ohs?

Bill says:
Curious did you like the pirate version, or the farmboy better?

Raven says:
Never really thought about it before…Though I suppose their is always something about a rogue that is intriguing. *shrugs*

Bill says:
interesting.

Raven says:
Still…He was a sweet guy, either way…The playing at pirate couldn’t take that from him, not really.

Bill says:
Guess that’s true.

Raven says:
He is after all him…Just a diffrent facade presented to the world.

Bill says:
facade? Don’t know that one.

Raven says:
face…Like the front presented. A mask of sorts.

Bill says:
o

Bill says:
So as a pirate was he being false to a degree.

Bill says:
As perhaps he was playing a part.

Raven says:
That could be a way to look at it.
He was, at his core, the farmboy that he had been all that time. The pirate was perhaps a part of who he was, but not the full of him. He was magnifying an aspect of a part of him…If that makes sense.

Bill says:
mostly.

Bill says:
do you think that his experiences on the high seas had changed him?

Raven says:
I’m sure there were some changes, one can’t go through life and not have some kind of change present itself.

Perhaps it gave him a better sense of himself…Gave him more insight, the ability to tap into latent things…Like being able to be more courageous than he would of been without the experience.

Bill says:
I think I understand better.

Raven says:
*smiles*

  

Suppose I’ll be going for now…I’ve got a two page rough draft I’m suppose to have done by Thursday for English…My first quiz over the first chapter in Psych tomorrow…Not sure what’s going on in Plant Bio.
