Must revoke my comment about Senora Stried.

She gave me 80 out of 80 on my presentation.

🙂

Anyway, after that was the English test. I found it pretty easy. Except for when I used the stolen loot as a symbol…and then couldn’t think of how it related the central motif. The central motif was suffering (and redemption, etc.), right? But I guess most of the class thought it was pretty hard. Hmmm…

Total slackoff day in band. We just got our music. Couldn’t really practice the letters. It’s just too hard with people missing, you know? Rush told us he might switch “Jump in the Line” or “The Bud Song” (is that what it’s called?) to “Stayin’ Alive” for Senior Feature (the theme for Homecoming is Saturday Night Fever). Not sure if that’s cool with me or not. Whatever.

Another blowoff 4th hour. Had life talks with Brian (please, someone in that hour tell me how his name is spelled!), Jeff, Paul, and Matt. Talked about sci-fi movies and “reality” (“Pinch me!”) and all kinds of fun stuff.

Lunch @ Big Mike’s. 🙂 I got “really pale roast beef.” They kinda messed up my order, in case you can’t tell. But it was really good, I might go with the turkey from now on. Also got Red Bull…yum!

They’re putting up some big, bronze cougar statue in the front of senior hall. Wtf? Hmmm…

Genetics was more debate stuff. Interesting question came up – “Would you sell your egg/sperm embryo for stem cell research?” I really don’t think I would. But that’s too lengthy to go into here.

I’m getting kind of freaked out about 6th hour. Some of the guys are just really rude. And that just sets me on edge. I don’t know. I’m just…I thought by senior year that all the “stupid people” would have been weeded out of my classes. And for the most part, they are. But not 6th hour. *sigh*

Psych was FUN. New seats, I’m by Matt, Andrew, Joel, Naomi, both Elizabeths, and Jen (yeah, more time with her!). We presented our poster (uh…:) Yeah), then did the personality circle on the board. What were our traits? Understanding, optimistic, *two other things I can’t remember*…and then whipped (Matt) and erotic (Keegan). Mr. Ward thought it was EXOTIC. That was funny. He retold the adult video thing. And then Joel told him he’d make a good Nazi! Ouch! 🙂 And we just laughed a lot in that class. Like Lex said, I didn’t even notice the time flying by. Awesome…

SHS meeting after school, got the choir stuff, and then play practice. Ended up running to Carousel Consignments with Joe and Keegan to get a bed. That was a rather amusing ride! 🙂

I have only one question today –

What’s the ACTUAL job of the stage manager? Because ours seems to be…oh, taking over a little. Anyone else agree?

Sorry, just some pent up “senior” nerves fraying here.

*screams*

I’m better.

*sneezes*

Or not.
