Forced Travel into That Good Night
I never realized that I needed to see Edward Scissorhands. It should be the official movie of Advent and Lent. Seriously, the story's is a better way to understand what Jesus is supposedly all about than The Passion of the Christ (I haven't seen the latter, so that's not a fair judgment).
Yesterday was a mixture of morning fog that stayed as haze until nightfall, when something that almost felt like rain started to fall.
This morning was the final General Studies discussion of the Ethics of Cloning. I volunteered to present Lee Silver's argument since I had heard him speak.
The eager masses (or a few people) have been receptive to my music. I have loaned out Castaways and Cutouts, and probably will lend In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Equally, I have decided to look into some of the young people's music. I have promised two people that I will buy Give Up.
At noon, I stole away from the crowds who were heading to Cowan and went up the street to make a business transaction at a local restaurant. "I am making a business transaction," I told the woman in the kitchen. She put an olive nut sandwich on wheat, salsa, tortilla chips, and coleslaw in a carryout box, hugged me, then took my picture. She also gave me my schedule for the next school year:
Discrete Math
English
AP Environmental Science
Chemistry II
Art II
and
AP Calculus
PE
AP English
Ceramics
Chemistry II
Art II
This is a terrible schedule. Not the arrangement in itself, but the classes. No offense to art, or even those particular methods, but I don't have much faith in a football coach to teach me how to draw. My second complaint is that Chemistry II is year-round, meaning that I won't be able to take the AP test. I may sound mean and ungrateful right now, but this schedule would force me to be a lazy Senior. This schedule would also complicate taking my French course of preference at the [college].
Maybe calling this a bad lineup is overlooking the fact that my school is a little challenged and sick at the moment. So, I may just have to take a couple AP courses on my own (read the book, pass the test). Several scholars have told me that the AP Psychology exam is easy. I also think Macro and Microeconomics could be possibilities.
