Just got back...
So I just got back from a weekend trip to see my grandmother in West Virginia. I know, amazing. You'd be suprised at just how boring that really is. I spent a total amount of two and a half days doing basically nothing. I did, however, fit an ENTIRE season of Heroes into my weekend, which was good. I want to pick up on the third season when it starts in September. Great series, really. I wish I had magical powers... The mind reading and telepethy thing would be quite nifty.
Now I'm home, and I have to do my homework. Yes, I know. I procrastinated on my first weekend during the school year. I'm basically destined to fail. My homework for this three day weekend contains a large collage of things that describe me as a person (I plan on having fun with this one) and a family snapshot and what it means to me and what it is and how it was taken. The first project is for American Cultures, and the second is for Intro to Photo.
On Friday I was called down to the office and they informed me that I was transferred out of Chemistry. They let me choose my substitution classes and I chose one half year of Introduction to Photo and one half year of Painting. I can't wait to get into my new classes because they're both so interesting to me. As I chose these classes I was wondering in the back of my head why I hadn't chosen them to begin with. Mr. Rupp, my teacher for both of these, is really cool. His classroom is GIGANTIC, and he always accepts my comments on things and builds on them; and he isn't afraid to disagree with me on what I think a photograph means. He said I should be caught up for the first week of school if I just do that snapshot project, for tomorrow.
I kind of miss Chemistry. On the first day of school Mr. Irwin made styro-foam cups dissolve. Second day, he set a table on fire using a mixture of water and alcohol. Third day, he showed us how chemicals can get trapped behind contact lenses. I'm not going to explain the latter, but it involved food coloring and a lot of 'oo-ing and ah-ing'. But, I know that it was good for me to tranfer out when I did. There is no way I would have survived two science fair projects at the same time. I had enough trouble faking a single project LAST year. Besides, Mr. Irwin was kind of scary.
I'm off to finish this collage thing. I can't forget all the different things I have to print out. I know a few of the topics I had to consider, but I can't remember all of them... I think I'll call Becca...
So yeah, I'm back... thank god. Haha. :P
