Lucky Day?

[kid_with_sense]

My day was about half and half today. 26 is my lucky number and I realized it was the 26th when I won a 1-liter-a-cola. I got better sleep last night, just less of it. Band wasn't bad and in I had all of my math HW done and I did fairly well on the reality check. Anything over a 60 is fine with me because with 10, it is passing. Didn't do much in LA. Lunch. Eh, I didn't have much too eat because I am laxy and we didn't have any more prepackaged serving sized food. Anatomy was good because the test seemed easy and no matter what I get like 16 bonus points or something. After the test, I slept. HARD. I was out because I was laying on my fluffy warm down coat. I am in the front row and we had work to do after the test, but I never do it. She know and she doesn't care, so she lets me sleep. Bio wasn't too great. I didn't have any snack from home becuase I had to scramble pieces for lunch. I just made the occasional joke to the kid sitting next to me and tried to pay attention otherwise. Speaking of that, Ariel Wise needs to send us her part of the group work tonight. That's when I had bought the drink to find the winning cap. Government was a movie. It was "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." (D.C. for those of you who were wondering if it was the state or the capital. Though he was from Montana, one of those large, un-important, western states.) Then Aaron took me home becuase he was scared of the parking Nazi yelling at him. Any time I don't have to ride the bus is awesome. I didn't have alot of HW, but I probably should have done my webassign tonight instead of staying up late tomorrow. I forgot my Bio book in my locker so I went back to get it. On the way in there were three black guys sitting on the bench. As I walked by one guy said "Man, you better give me that jacket," as he huddle with his arms in his sleeves. I stopped and almost considered it and he laughed and said "Nah, I'm just kidding." I went in to get my book and I knew that I had two jackets in my locker and I debated as to whether to carry them back out, but I did. I was walking up and the guy was like, "Aww, man I know you want to give me a jacket." I stopped and gave him the older cheaper lighter jacket because it was on top and he thanked me and I asked if he could bring it back tomorrow morning to the band room. He nodded and I started to walk off. As I got to my car in the front loop, his ride pulled up and I was backing out. The car hadn't moved despite ample time to get in and drive off, so I thought that the guy might give it back because his ride was there and I wa right there too, but the car pulled foward as I came close. I hope I get it back, but at least I was being nice. Like an Eagle scout. And oddly enough I saw one of the leaders who was on my Eagle board at a district leader's meeting at the school which they have on certain Wednesdays. We recognized each other and talked shortly. He had riden in on a Harley. On Monday maybe? I think it was Monday when I made a list in math. It was during the first 5 minutes when I was still awake and already bored when I began thinking of the "That's what she said" game. (which by the way we need a better name for that.) I noticed the motivational posters and put the two together. I began looking around, craning my neck to read the posters and look crazy all the while. Anyway, I have complied the list, not exactly a top ten, but here's what I decided would be appropriate for the game.

1. "I need less week and more weekend." (think hooker)
2. "Stick to it and you'll do it."
3. "It pays to co-operate."
4. "There are no shortcuts on the road to success"
5. "Make an effort, not an excuse"
6. "The expert in everything was once a beginner"
7. "Thank you for not whining,"

and my favorite: "I'm learning by osmosis" That's what she said!

Now if you didn't read my previous paragraph you may not have thought anything of those sentences. But I know you all read all of my entries. Practice again tomorrow. Wear a crazy, warm hat to raise morale. Everyone loves crazy novelty hats.
