Not having a good day. I know just how Lucy feels, with the video thing. I'm not even going to talk about it. If there were any random forks around, they'd probably find themselves in random nearby foreheads.
I'm watching "Pride and Prejudice," now. It's not really making me feel better. I don't know why.
I'm sick of taking French at Stadium. I need to keep it up, of course. For this year, certainly. But, after that... I must. Two years. And I want to quit. I do love the language, though I cannot speak it well. And I like having a chance to see the posse, every morning. But I also hate it. Every time that I want to quit French, though, I mutter "Oxford, Oxford," to myself. I need to keep talking French, not to graduate, but to get into a good college. Waking up early, truding through the cold, going up all those stairs, for a mere 4/5th's hour's learning? I couldn't stand it, if not diing that kept me from a good school. I'm sure that I will be glad to have kept up French, when I'm grown.
I just wish that I could take French at SOTA. My school day would start at the same time as everyone elses. There wouldn't be those confusing days when I have to go to one school, but not the other. I would get all my classes on one report card. I could take another class, too. Maybe even ballet, which is only first period.
What was my point? That I want SOTA to get a French teacher. Hanna thinks that I should just try for a club-- Ms Tinder, a new math teacher, used to teach French, at another school, according to Hanna. She's very nice, and could probably be prevailed upon to host a club. We would need at least ten people, but that wouldn't be hard. In my French class, there are four of us from SOTA: Kate, Annie, Hanna, and I. There are also people like Isiah, who take French at TCC. Five already. Half. Then there are also people like Roland and Crossman who used to take French. I don't know if they need any more credit, but if they came to the first meeting, they could help to fill out the list of club members. We'd have seven, more than half, and we could probably rope in three more goons, just to put them on the list. But, however, that's not the point. I don't want a club. I want a class.
How do you think that I should go about this? Email the principal? It's stupid to only teach one language. Maybe SOTA would try to get a French teacher, if I got enough signatures from people who would take the class?
