I just wanted to say that I love my icon and that it will be a cold day in hell when I ever change it again.
We had a delayed opening today which was cool. I got here 10 minutes late still with a biscuit and a large tea and Mr. Ponder's just like "come on in!" all happily. So that was awesome.
This week in school has been really good. I've been killing all sorts of math tests which is cool, and in In Our Backyard we're preparing for our midterm mock trial. I'm the center character of the whole thing, Tom Evans.. who shot a little a girl but it was an accident. The prosecution is arguing second degree murder and the defense is for involuntary manslaughter. So we, as the defense, have been meeting everyday in a seperate classroom at a long table discussing how we're gonna win the case. It's been awesome and I think this is one of the coolest things I've done in school. I'm really lucky to be Tom Evans and its a huge part and I don't wanna disapoint Brogden since he always talks about how I have so much untapped potential and I'm such an up and down kind of student. He loves this trial and he trusted me with the part of Tom Evans, so I'm gonna do my best. I can't wait.
I'm kind of sad Mrs. Davis will be leaving. She's pregnant and won't be back after christmas break. She says she'll be back by 4th quarter though. She's a really good teacher but I don't think most of the other students in Music Appreciation like her as much as I do. I love how I can make all sorts of references to things, music or not, and while the students don't always get it, she does. That's why she's cool.
English class has always been awesome. I love our side of the room, everybody just laughs at the craziest things but we all get it and its awesome. And Mr. Gerdes is a great teacher. I loved his unit on post-modernism and existentialism... it was sweet. He's in love with the band, Wilco, and he let me have a burned cd of theirs. Sweet.
