Springtime just makes life that much better...
I love the way that one sunny day spent lying on the grass can just improve life that drastically. Today and yesterday have been the most needed nice days since... forever. ahhh. I just feel like sighing contentedly all night. I think it started fabulously with my alarm not going off, meaning i got an extra hour of sleep and got to go to school unshowered in sweats and a beater and flip flops, the essence of comfort.
Then i got my grades in advisor meeting... which turned out really good. I mean, I was just really excited. Especially cause i legit should be getting like straight c's for the amount of work i do. Lets see... french B+ history A- Math A- English A (or maybe those are switched? i forget) Envi Sci A+ (and chingers A holla what hahahaha)... just in general i was really psyched. And for once, I know that I really have stopped getting grades as much for my parents. I mean, yes, they still expect me to do well... But I do my work for myself now, I choose what to work hard on (envi sci) and what to blow off every single night (french)... I've noticed, however, that I take it for granted that I can get good grades without really doing my work. I guess milton prepared me well for milton. It shocks me when people who work hard get grades that aren't deserving of how much they work... but at the same time it bothers me when people who really aren't that smart get good grades simply because all they ever do is work. But that's obnoxious of me. Y'all can handle it though. And it REALLY bothers me when people blow off their work all the time and then say they get bad grades because they're "stupid" or cause they just don't try... but then complain about it... i dunno, like i believe that if you want to excel at milton, you can, and its under your control. But maybe that's very narrow minded of me. I'm not sure. But the day continued...
And then I got to go to envi sci, where mrs smith, the god of milton academy, had us all pretend we were helen keller getting to see for an amount of time, and walk around outside alone in solitude, using all our senses to examine everything we could. I got to sit in the amazingly gorgeous and perfect weather for half an hour, ahhh. Alone time, what... I got to listen to the birds, stare at the clouds, walk through the grass... so amazing. Then we all got to say one thing that we had noticed that we had never noticed before, and one question that we had wondered about... mmm. And emma coops and I are the pimps of envi sci...
Assembly was day monitor elections. totally a hack position, but teddy and hailey won, so i was happy.
French was even fun - how that's possible, i'm not sure, except we got to go to this fun website online and read about a crime and it was totally hack. hahaha. Mmm.
After French I had math, and mrs jacobsen decided she wasn't ready to move on to the next subject, so we weren't gunna have class. lol. I think sarah genuinely thinks she's insane. I think my comment for that class is going to be absolutely horrid because i NEVER listen to her and she blatantly knows it. I just can't deal with her teaching math - I've had such extremely smart math teachers in the past, and I learn math by doing, not by having it taught to me... so its hard to have a class where people really need it spelled out to them, and ms jacobsen very much supporting the sort of "do what u need to do to understand" thing. whatever. I get frees so its fun. And los and sone and matt and i talk the whole time and don't do the work. yayy.
I had a quick lunch, wahoo, and then another highlight of the day... los and i and various others headed over to the grass in front of the PAC (the best grass on campus - a little buggy, but very cushiony and long and green and soft) and laid there until the beginning of 6th period, probably a good hour. It was amaaazing. Such pretty weather, chill conversation, and lots of people coming and going like colin baker and haffy etc etc. It was just the most like calming experience ever, i was so happy and peaceful afterwards i can't even express.
I even talked in history 6th period! Ok, granted, not a LOT of talking. But enough that I think mr h saw i could say something intelligent maybe once in that class, which was nice. And mr h told me i did really well on my term paper, like "basically 3 a's" he said, which honestly i can't even comprehend. I really can't. That's all there is to say.
THEN i had a kickass afternoon!! ahhhhh. What a fricken day. I sat on the quad (in front of the libes) umm all afternoon, had people come and go, gorgeous sun and people and ahh. This weather makes me into a different person. I had peaceful conversations and work doing in the library, and lots of just chill time outside. ahhhhhhhhh. that is really all there is to say. lots of ahhhhh. got myself a date to the boat dance as well, that was hot. yes. and my french girl asked teddy out, which is really amusing but also really weird because she's like all weird about it. silly french. then again we think we're stupid for waiting so damn long to do stuff. i guess we're both right huh.
and now i only have history and english homework!! and i don't have much english!!! oh god what a good mood.
Of course its gunna be snowing again by friday and high of 40 tomorrow... fuckin global warming erratic weather SHIT.... but whatever i don't think u can steal my good mood of today.
love y'all
