i know i promised in my last post that i would have greece pics in my next one, but i'm sorry you're just going to have to wait a little longer. something a little more interesting has come up: senior skip day. to many seniors, this is a chance to take a personal day at no expense. the everyone does it so the teachers don't do anything so there's nothing to miss. i, unfortunately, was not one of those lucky seniors who got to skip. i was one of the twenty seniors who had to be there. half of which got to leave halfway through the day. the reason you ask? my parents weren't, and i quote, "comfortable with the idea of me skipping." ummm, hellllo? why are you getting so involved in something that has absolutely nothing to do with you. last time i checked it was senior skip day, not parents flip out about their kids skipping a day of school. my mom went around and asked other parents about how they felt about the day and most just said that they called their kids in sick. my parents weren't going to lie for me. OK, fine, not a problem; i would call in sick for myself. then when my mom talked to miss amanti and she said that the school totally doesn't condone it and that the teachers will teach. actually, i went to school, played computer games all day and wandered the halls, chatting with people. some teachers were like "what are you doing here?" mr. cadorette was like "Cheromcha, are you a junior, or something? What the hell are you doing here?" i explained to him about how it was my parents fault that i was here and he went "Oh, you have one of those parents." it felt good to have a teacher on my side. mr. sherman was also on my side saying "do your parents not realize that in like 3 and half months you are going to be in college making this kind of decision everyday?" when i got home, i told my parents about my do-nothing day and how teachers were surprised to see me and i thought they were going to admit to overreacting. not a snowball's chance in hell. instead they went off the deep end and decided to meet with mr. macrino about how teachers didn't teach and how they were making "light" of a very tough decision for them. OK. whatever.

in other news, life is like really good. i'm posting at Ollie's Gym right now, tommorow's the Senior Class Trip (it's supposed to pour but that's not about to stop me from having a blast), i've got an amazing girlfriend who i can actually have an intellectual conversation with (don't ask), and i'm doing absolutely nothing in my classes these days. yup, it's definitely a good time to be alive. ;-D cheromcha signing out
