Well, today was interesting. Mostly for what happened after school, but still.

I've been running late in the mornings lately, but dad's discovered this new route that, although it probably takes the same amount of time, involves much less sitting around and waiting in long lines of cars. And is therefore much less stressful. But, anyway, I got to school at about 7:08, so I just went straight to Parson's mobile. Of course, Nathan was the only one there. I don't know what's up with him, he's always the first one there. Eh, but in lit we took a reading quiz, and I proceeded to get in an argument with Kym, which was somewhat entertaining. In science I turned in both labs and the chapter 23 problems, so hopefully that'll improve my grade. In history, yesterday, I was doodling during the movie, and after class Ginsberg "talked" to me about it. He said he didn't say anything because he didn't want to embarass me. I'm like, oh thanks, so instead you get pissed at me. Oh, well, today I sat up at the front of the room with Sean and watched the movie, and when I promised him I wouldn't doodle again (after some prompting) he said, "Good, and you'll keep on being an A-student." Sounds auspicious. Yeah, but that had stressed me out a little.

In tok, we talked about Helen Keller some more, and I got pretty bored. At one point I spaced out, and I guess Doze must have been talking about the differences between languages, because all of a sudden, Chaffin goes, Hey Jessa, explain the differences between Japanese and English. And the class goes silent. Kind of startling. Kind of fun, though, even though I've never taken any Japanese classes apparently I'm the resident expert on it. Hehe. This is why learning outside of school is good, children. But, yeah. Then math as boring as ever, but it was somewhat fun to fiddle with our calculators. And I've found out that trying to type in a message on a calculator when it's turned upside-down is incredibly confusing. Of course, in comp sci, I did nothing. But poor Eddie and Jason have to finish their dossiers by Friday. That's gonna suck. I haven't even started on section B of mine, and I think it goes up to section H, or something. Spanish was much better than normal, since the teacher's been gone the past three days. I mean, not that I don't LOVE the teacher... Cough, cough. Yeah, and yesterday me and Ali and Danny were reminiscing about the elementary school days. Apparently, Mr. Downing had two more kids. A boy, and another girl. And his first kid, the one he had when we were in his class, is in elementary school herself now. It's odd. It's been 6 years. So, that makes sense, but it still feels so odd. How'd we get so old? I remember when the occasional "old kid" would drop by to say hi to a teacher, and those kids were probably in eighth grade, or below. Gah.

After school, realising I had no reason to actually hurry up and leave the class, I kinda lost my steam. 8th period tends to be incredibly boring nowadays, since everybody who doesn't have tok goes home. So there isn't anyone to talk to when I want to stay after school. But, I ended up going to Chaffin's eighth period class. Now that was interesting. Anyways, I go in and I find out that Kevin takes it too. So, after my computer's mouse decided to die, I just spent the rest of the period talking to Kevin, basically. The bad part: apparently, Garrett has that class too. Urk. And since there's no Srav present to scare him off, I had a bit of trouble with that. Aaargh. But, that class looks so fun. The computers are awesome (although, apparently, they're getting replaced next year), and you get to use Maya! Sweet. I told my mom, and she goes, "Why aren't YOU in that class?" I should be. I don't know, if I end up not taking Japanese next year (a quite likely possibility) I might take that class instead. Since, actually, I've been interested in that class since ninth grade. I remember looking at electives, and going, "Ooo, computer graphics! I wanna take that class!" So, maybe I will next year. And, really, the teacher must be so mellow. Rustam was there, too, and he was watching anime on his computer. And someone went to that one homestar runner site (or whatever it's called) using the teacher's computer, and the whole class could see, and hear, the little skits.

Well, anyways, after that I ended up going into the library - too late, of course, to secure myself a seat - so I just did spanish homework for a while. Ugh. I ended up hanging out at the table for the last 20 minutes anyway. Today, it consisted of Nick, Eddie, Tiffany, and Chaffin. So, I had fun talking to Eddie. And whenever Nick got up to deliver some NHS papers, I stole his seat. But, Eddie apparently likes anime - at least, the stuff on cartoon network. It works. He's collected a whole bunch of songs from Gundam Wing, which he's gonna let me listen to once he finds his missing cds, and he watches DBZ. Heh, he told me the ending of the Buu saga. Mwahaha. Course, I didn't completely understand it, seeing as how I never watched any part of the Buu saga... Ok, then there was Japanese club, and basically, Nikki and I spent the whole time listening to Aharon discuss the differences between anime and manga. And Aharon has this "art of xenosaga" book, which is really cool looking. He says he's been playing it for the last five days, and he really likes it. So, I'll have that to look forward to. Once I get my homework done. So, I'll be expecting to do that after I finish college.
