The Best Week Ever (Man, I Love that T.V. Show!)
This has been a great week. Don’t you love great weeks? First on Monday we had a “hurricane.” The “hurricane” resulted in the cancellation of school. That entire day all we had at my house, right on the beach , was a little bit of wind-not a lot, just a little. We get more wind than that during thunderstorms. The next thing you should know is that this week is homecoming week. Not that I’m particularly excited about homecoming, but I must admit that it does have its benefits.
Benefit 1: We get no work done in class. None whatsoever. It is absolutely required that all students turn into a ravenous bunch of caged monkeys who are going crazy trying to obtain the banana dangling on the other side of the itty-bitty window in the classroom doors.
Benefit 2: No homework. Alright, so we did get this minute little amount, but we have two days to do it, so I’m not complaining.
Benefit 3: No tests. How are teachers supposed to give tests when they never know when their students will be in class. We up and leave for things like the presentation of the homecoming court and class games. (As a side note, I actually managed to sufficiently fill myself with school/junior spirit for class games today.)
Benefit 4: When things like the aforementioned class games and other such events like pep rallies take place at the end of the day, we generally get to leave school fifteen to twenty minutes early.
Benefit 5: No history notes. Now some may say that this falls under Benefit 1, and indeed it does, but I decided that it is such a wonderful benefit that it merits its own separate number. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike history or anything (that’s not allowed in my house), but taking endless notes as Mrs. Thompson just reads the book to us can get just a teensy bit tedious.
Also this week…is Thursday. Sure you may say that Thursday comes every week, and you would be right, but not every Thursday is a conference day. (a.k.a. A HOLIDAY!). Two “holidays” in one week. Isn’t this amazing? And the final absolutely awesome thing that’s happening this week…I’m going to Atlanta this weekend for the Georgia Tech vs. Miami game. I know Tech‘s going to get stomped, but I still love football games, and I am also rather fond of the new Tech Bookstore.
Okey dokey, I think I’m going to go do something else. I’m even considering the idea of doing something productive-possibly my minute little amount of homework. So, to all I wish a very delightful evening and a wonderful conference day tomorrow.
