Report!
Day of Silence turned out pretty good. I was really good about keeping the silence, except once on the bus when some guys were being stupid and calling people fags. I couldn't reach them to tap them on the shoulder and hand them the card, so I said 'Guys, today is Day of Silence. Don't say that stuff.' Then I gave them the card and that was it! As far as non-verbal communication, I cheated a little bit when Rachel and I were bored in Health class, in which we got to sit the entire period. Literally. So, bored, we played charades with each other, developed our own hybrid sign language, and got 'Clockwork Orange' confused with 'Banana Time'.
It was pretty awesome.
As for the rest of the school, we got about ninety people to sign up, most of them 6th graders. Most of them knew at least a little about what they were doing, but I need to do more PR next year. It was kind of shaky this year. Also, more communication with teachers, since apparently the mass email I sent out didn't work for about half the teachers. Anyways, it was pretty successful, and I have high hopes for next year!
In other news, I think I might have contracted mono. Which sucks. Anybody who's had mono, what's it like? I've been eating very little, sleeping a lot, and generally feeling cold and shaky for a while. Is this paranormal?
And yes, I did speak to Rachel about this. It could be anything, but we're trying to be careful.
