Jackie's here! Yesterday her dad took us and Grace to Chili's and all was happy. (Sadly there is no Chili's near Jackie in Michigan.) She's staying with me but I had a doctor's appointment this morning so I dropped her off at school so she could go to first period with Grace. We found Andrea so Frau Mahon could say that Jackie was a visitor and get her a pass and I left. On my way out of the doctor's, I look at my phone: Four new messages.
First call: "Hey, Bianca, it's Jackie. They wouldn't let me in the school so I'm sitting in front right now..."
Second call: "Bianca, it's Andrea. We tried to get Jackie a pass but the lady at the front desk said we had to clear it so Frou went to talk to Duval and say that she was an officer from FASG but Duval wouldn't let her in no matter what..."
Third call: "Bianca, it's Jackie, I'm just gonna walk back to your house now. I'll probably get there in about a half hour. I guess just call me when you get this."
Fourth call: "Bianca, I'm sitting on your front porch right now 'cause the construction workers were staring at me and one whistled at me..."
Moral of the story: Duval fails at life once again.
Their original excuse was that the school is too overcrowded to have visitors on campus. That might be a valid excuse except that there are always random people walking around. I know plenty of people not enrolled in the school that have been able to get on campus and not get caught. No, but we get in trouble because we wanted to get permission. And instead of letting Jackie sit somewhere safely, they kicked her out.
I thank every deity there is that I don't live that far from school and that I was on my way back home after the appointment anyway so I was able to let Jackie inside my house. Then I had to return to school so she was in my house alone all day and then walked back for the Humanities meeting. Totally ridiculous.
So today we went and got permission from each of our teachers for Jackie to sit in their classes. Obviously they wouldn't have a problem. Rahhh. I actually drew a picture of us smiting Duval but I've lost it for the 56th time. I'll scan it if I find it.
duval,
jackie!,
