Wicked and the week

Tuesday: AP Spanish test.  On the way to the Board of Ed. Office to take the test, I passed Lakeside.  A girl who went there ran up to me as I passed and asked me if I was a substitute teacher.  After a confused hesitation, I set her straight.  I walked off and I felt so OLD!  What the hell kind of a substitute teacher did I look like?!  I was wearing sandals, faded jeans, and an untucked polo shirt!  Anyway, the exam was difficult as hell.  Glad to get the stupid thing over with.

Drama Club/SMFC elections were after school.  It was sad for me, but I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.  Congratulations to the following new officers…President: Amanda, Vice President: Ken, Secretary: Shari, Treasurer: Candice, Historian: Sarah M., and Business Manager: Matt.  Coops made it really nice for me though.  I got to speak a few times and even fake-run for President again (I even gave a speech for the position) HAHAHA!

Wednesday: In Sociology, during a debate, Mr. Bivona asked everyone in the class that had a tattoo to raise their hands.  Then he asked everyone who wanted a tattoo to raise their hands.  Naturally, I raised my hand.  The entire class exploded in comments of shock when I did this.  All in good fun, of course, things were said like, “Mr. Straight-laced wants a tattoo?!”  I thought it was all very flattering.  I find that as the days go on, the more and more I want a tattoo.  I’m sure I’ll never get one though.  How’s it gonna look when I’m old and wrinkled?  Where would I put it?  What would I get?  Would I always like what I got?  I hate to admit it, but I don’t think I would.  Oh well, I guess I am straight-laced.

Thursday: AP English test.  While passing Lakeside, some girl tried to get me to walk over to her and her friends and have a conversation.  I just walked on.  She called after me.  I just smiled to myself.  I really am a stud…NOT.  Anyway, I feel pretty confident on how I did on the exam.  Glad to get it done.  However, in a strange way, both exams were kinda fun to take.  I can’t really verbalize it, but it’s fun being in that same situation with everybody else and just all talking about it together.

Amanda came over after school and watched Rear Window.  She has been Hitchcock-de-virginized.

Friday: On Monday, Ana told me she and her family were going to see Wicked on Broadway Friday night (currently the hottest show in town) and that they had an extra ticket and wanted to know if I wanted to go.  It was so nice cause I’m always inviting people to do nice things and yet I never get invited anyplace.  So we went.

The trip was with some people from the town of Riverdale, so we took a bus.  Ana and I had a great time on the ride over…we talked the entire way.

The show was unbelievable.  The story was really intriguing and the scenery was fascinating.  Best aspect though was the music and singing.  The girl who played the Wicked Witch of the West had the most incredible voice; she gave me chills.  It was a wonderful night.  Again, thank so much Ana.
