Yesterday was fun. It was a half day at school, so we got out at 12:15, which I think is really stupid. See, we used to get out at 10:55, but now they’re making us stay until lunch is over! It’s really retarded. But anyway, after school got out, Mom and I went to Fort Wayne for therapist appointments. While I was in the waiting room, I met these two really adorable little girls, with such pretty names. Their names are Brianna and Dakota. I was talking to their dad, and it turns out they’re half-sisters. They were absolutely fascinated with my wheelchair, and Dakota kept wanting to honk the horn on my wheelchair. I was saying, “Sure! Go for it!” Then after my appointment was over, I went outside for a smoke and when I came back in, Dakota goes, “You’re back!” And Brianna says, “You must really like us!” And then I said, “Yes I do really like you, you’re very nice girls.” After they left, my mom came out of her appointment and we went to Applebee’s for dinner. Yummy! I got a Grilled Italian Chicken Caesar Salad-my usual meal, and dessert was SO delicious! It was a triple…chocolate…meltdown! It should be against the law to have such delicious food available! The triple chocolate meltdown is a piece of chocolate cake with a hollow inside that’s filled with hot fudge. When you take away a piece of the cake, the hot fudge just comes pouring out like lava from a volcano. Then, the cake is drizzled with milk, dark, and white chocolate. To top it off, they serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…oh God, it’s like an orgasm on a plate! Then we went home and I worked on a story for journalism class that’s gonna go in the school paper. The topic of my story is “The Decline of Foreign Language Classes at Wabash High School”. Here’s the first part of the rough draft.
Bonjour. Comment allez-vous? Unless you’re from France or taking French class here at WHS, you probably don’t know that this, translated into English, is “Hello. How are you?” As of now, French and Spanish are the only two foreign language classes offered at Wabash High.
“There used to be German, but the German teacher retired several years ago,” says French teacher Mrs. Geible.
“They stopped offering German because after the teacher retired, students became less interested in German and more into French and Spanish,” says Mrs. Gackenheimer, one of the Spanish teachers.
Well, I have to go for now, but that was just an update on what’s been going on in my life.
See y’all later!
