Today was...interesting. Or at least far from boring. I found out some more life-changing news from Devin, but since it was all on the same topic that had been haunting me for the past few weeks, it wasn't too much of a shocker. After school we went to the AP Lit meeting. It seems hard (and boring...considering the stuff written by John Smith and the other colonizers of America...yuck!) on one hand but also very worthwhile on the other. And I will finally have a chance to read works by great authors such as Nathanial Hawthorne, Emerson, Thoreau, Fitzgerald, etc. because sure, my family have visited the homes/birthplaces, whatnot, (which are mostly in MA, RI, CT, NH, PN, NE in general) of a lots of the names on the sheets on the great authors. But I've never had time or drive to actually read or work through any of them (discluding Gatsby), or I was a bit to small when we visited. But I still remember most of the homes.
I really hope I get Mr. Lachance. I sorta kinda know him from Lit Mag in 9th grade but of course dropping out didn't give off the best impression. Ah well, I had tennis and voice lessons. But I need him for English because the other lady sounds too strict and harsh. Males for English are some times kinder but still teach you just as well, just in a less evil form. (except Ms. Wiellette and Mr. Elliot were exceptions...both are just the opposite of above and then Mrs. Schwartz, well, I sort of love/hated her)
Open was working on the art project; same with art.
Choir was milling about with Colleen, Kilian, and Hannah... AND learning about the exam for Chamber Choir. Yes, I'd be more than happy to be in Women's Choir again because it's the next best thing, but CHAMBER CHOIR, come on! For a person who just NEEDS to sing like myself in order to survive; for someone who's only lifeline is their ipod, this is the choir for me. I hope I don't burst into tears if I don't make it. The choir is SO DARN GOOD and I just want to be a part of that.
History was exam talk...English was OP's...I won't even get started on the 'gun' one, oh my Lord. Basically talked to Thaisa about being 'giddy' the whole day.
French was boring...review packet; preppy guys fighting over chocolate was interesting for .05 seconds; Mr. Dridi STILL confusing everyone's name today after a whole year got my attention for .025 seconds. And then I was so bored I almost died.
Bio was that quiz. Even a simple open notes quiz is HARD?/or at least requires brain power when you have Mrs. Kane and take Honors. Please gag me now.
Geomtery was not listening to Mrs. Napoli talk about review and instead staring at the clock because the exam's not until Monday...and that's the way I've begun to work lately.
