ok, so yeah. more about thursday.
k, so in eighth period i head up to the library, and jason says high to me. i think matt did too. ooo, and someone was talking about him, only i can't remember who or what he said. oh well, i think it was either aharon or jason. ANYWAYS... ok, but srav wasn't in the library so i wandered off. went to the bathroom and my locker and by then the period was half gone (omg! ten whole minutes had passed!) so i wandered BACK upstairs... saw srav, walking with avni but they were walking away from me, and the library, so i didn't say anything. but i went into the library and saw eve, libby, ali, and jason looking at comics (in the paper). so i talked to them for a while. yeah. then i went down to weight training, five minutes late, i might add, but mason didn't care. so i sat for ten minutes. oo wow. i mean, it's not like there was any point to dressing out. the period is 20 minutes long and we get fifteen minutes every day for dressing... so. but he let us out five minutes early. big whoop. oh well, better than nothing and he was really nice too. like, "yeah, i know, it's stupid, but what am i going to do?" anyways. so i went back up to the library (i go there a lot don't i?) and srav was there, and baylee, and megann, and tiffany i think. maybe. if that's her name. and if i'm even remembering right. but anyway. they were looking at magazines. but i talked to them, then the bell rang in a few minutes, so then i went downstairs. i went to my locker again, even though i didn't need to. then i waited for mum for ten minutes. then we went to mcdonald's. then my mom said screw it, i don't want to go back to the school just to sign up, they probably won't be ready anyway. so we went home.
wow. ok. i need to talk a little less, maybe. aaaargh. well, after getting home my dad came home early and to make a really really really REALLY long story much shorter, my parents ended up fighting about the conferences, we signed up in two different chunks, but my dad and my mom and i went to the first four and my mum went by herself to the last two. so. well, my teachers were much happier than last year. no "she needs to do her homework or else she'll FAIL the grade and have to take it over again." well, my math teacher did say i should do my homework. i missed eight assignments for one homework packet (they were due the week of the history and english essays) and it brought my grade down to a B+. oh no. 89.2, i'm crushed. i'll never miss another assignment again i PROMISE. oh, wait, i missed one this week. oops. ok, yeah, and my mum says she likes my english and science and spanish (!) teachers. she doesn't like ginsberg. he scared her by talking about all the work we're going to have to do. he doesn't get that she doesn't want me to do any more work than i have to. it's ok. but apparently my spanish teacher thinks i've improved a lot. she's the only one i've had for two years, and also the only one who knows i have ADD. she says i'm more organized and is proud of me for doing my homework. oh, and she's borrowed my "las ketchup" cd. i was feeling repentant on thursday, so i showed her, and she went "oh, cool! can i borrow it?" hehe. sometimes she's not so bad. i think she's kinda overbearing, and we grate on each other's nerves, but she can be pretty cool sometimes. hey, at least she put up with me! anyway. i have a feeling my spanish class might be learning the ketchup dance on monday. ooo, and she was disappointed that i didn't show! she asked where i was! cuz she was the only teacher i'd told i'd come in with my parents.
so, why was i missing? same reason my dad was... heh. ok, my dad does improv. right. he used to be in the comedy jocks, this one group, and that lasted for a while, maybe three years. but now he's out and about. so i watched him play in icl, "improv comedy league". so. i recognized a lot of the people - about half were from a group my family went to see called denver comedy sports, i think. we went with my bubbi (my grandma). she likes being called bubbi cuz she's jewish. yeah. and bubbi, i think, is yiddish for grandmother. maybe. i don't know too much yiddish. like, any. oh, well, i suppose i should put that on my list of languages i should learn. anyways. ok, so half were from that one group we'd seen, and also lisa and dj were in it - they're ex-comedy jocks that my dad used to play with. they went into their own group called undead jugfish. well, really, the group had already existed, but dj got in and took over and all the original people left. there were just dj and suzi (ex-husband and wife, but not at the time), lisa, jared (who i used to think was hot), pete (who i never saw in a show but my dad had been in shows with, i think), and ... uh... i can't remember. maybe that's all. oh, i should tell you about these people! but it's too complicated. maybe separate entries. well, anyway, back to the show i saw on thursday. there was also a girl kelly who i had seen in a show at bovine - it's an improv place downtown, the bovine metropolis theatre, with cow-print walls. aargh. so, i recognized people. yeah.

well, lessee. wednesday was fun because of japanese club, and today was fun because it was a half day! yes!
what happened wednesday again? i didn't finish the essay we did in lit. stupid timed essays. aaargh. and now the teacher says i should come in and do timed essays for PRACTICE. ick. oh, well, at least it'll help me learn. and parsons is really cool, so he makes something really evil (doing timed essays in your spare time) sound almost fun. science, hmmm, that was fun. we went over the lab. which i hadn't finished. i've finished it now, i did it last night. it helped that somebody who had gone in to ask him for help on it, had given me the paper he had written on. very very helpful. and in history, it was so fun! we learned about nietzsche (the only reason i know how to spell his name is because i had to learn it while studying for the spelling bee in seventh grade...), and ginsberg showed how the comic superman was based on nietzsche's theory. and you can see that raskolnikov's "theory" is actually nietzsche's. lunch i did my math homework, which i then turned in, and we took a test. which we got back today. i did alright on it. got 90%, i think. then comp sci, we got an ASSIGNMENT, ooo... it was pretty fun actually, or maybe that's just my demented mindset. we made a currency converter program. yay. for mine, you input the price, the current currency, and the desired currency, and it outputs the original price AND converted price. oo, fancy. only i did the math wrong. how the heck did i make it into calculus again??? it's ok, i fixed it. hmmm, then spanish, ugh. we wrote letters to the editor, based on articles we were supposed to get from the net. mine was a commentary on the unstable political situation in venezuela, i think. can't quite remember. oh, well. i double-spaced the body of my letter. maybe that'll make the teacher happy. ok, then eighth... where i talked to srav... and tiffany, at least, i think that's her name. she got a halloween gift from jason. looks kinda suspicious to me. ooo, and eve sat with us! it was very nice, i rarely see eve eighth period. so, eighth was fun. then weight lifting, horrid as usual. well, what do you expect? then.... japanese club! woohoo! we had a cooking class. it was SO awesome... and since me, aharon, sean (i think), and another kid (oops, don't know his name...) were the only ones who had washed our hands before the meeting, we formed one group. fun. it's so so nice to talk to aharon in japanese club, he's so enthusiastic. he's much more serious during p.e., besides i don't even see him every day. well, apparently he's a practiced cook, so he gave us tips throughout the cooking process. we did it twice, so him and sean cooked the first time, and me and the other kid cooked the second time. aharon even showed me how to hold my spatula. yay. and it was pretty yummy! we made yakisoba, with ramen noodles, onions, ginger, cabbage, carrots, turkey (?) slices, and green peppers. i must admit, all i ate were the noodles. but mmmm, it was so good. totemo oishikatta deshita, as the japanese say. or don't, i don't really know. i don't take japanese, i just own a couple of "teach yourself japanese" books. but next year, when i get out of spanish... hmmm, what else? joe lent me his sailor moon manga, in japanese no less. cool. but i didn't really get a chance to look at it before he wanted it back. oh well. oooo! spanish club had made cakes, i guess, so they gave us some, and we gave them some of our noodles. and so nikki went over to give them bowls, and i went with, and who should i find but noelle. i think that's how you spell her name. she's a sweet girl. she's a senior. and guess where i know her??? the spelling bee! wow. but anyway, when i was in sixth grade, we were the last two standing in the district oral competition. and i beat her. yep. she was second place, and i was first. apparently, she lost to the word "penitence". and apparently, she still doesn't know how to spell it. well, that was the most interesting thing... aharon was talking to the guys from our cooking group about dragon ball and how dragon ball z is different from the "a" series, or something, which is different from gt. i knew it was different from gt, but i had no clue what the a series was. what the heck?
wow. so that was wednesday. now for today.
hmmm, ah lovely half day, i love you so. well, lit and physics were the only classes that were normal length. which is really cool, because i like both those classes! kinda weird, but both are weird enough to keep me awake. well, in lit we took our vocab test and discussed that criticism on fathers and sons. poor matt got picked on. but you have to admit, it was pretty funny. he went, "i think it's a very important point." parsons would go, "why?" and matt would go, "um... it's... it's an important point!" heh. he was more articulate than that, but the teacher still tortured him. quite entertaining. hmm, and lovely science, i turned in my lab, we talked about the stupid internal assessment (we got a handout), then we discussed problems. which still confuse me. oh well, i'll do them over the weekend. ok, then our first shortened class! yay! we discussed the dbq in history. it sounds so much easier than the ones from last year. god, i hated those. *shudders* hmm, then lunch, i didn't have any homework. i sat at chaffin's table. well, really, it's not his table, but he was the first one there. ooo, and matt came over (the other one) and said he was hungry, so i gave him my mandarin oranges. maybe a bad idea, cuz i got REALLY hungry later on. oh, well, he seemed really grateful. i borrowed chaffin's grape book (um, that is, una vez más) to study for the test. then alex came over, and studied the book too. i don't think anyone really does the homework. she doesn't grade it. so what's the bloody point? it's not new material either, it's all review. that's all we do now in spanish, review. and learning vocab. well, yeah, so lunch was fun. even though ivey and melissa were missing. hmmm. maybe i should eat lunch with nathan every once in a while? .... nah. ok, then math, lovely as always, but especially lovely today, seeing as how it only lasted 20 minutes. i talked to alex quite a bit, which was fun. then comp sci, i worked on my currency program and figured out the math was wrong, and fixed it. ooo, then lovely spanish. we took the test. i think i did ok on it. here's a first: i wasn't sure what to do when it said, "give the pronoun" so i ASKED THE TEACHER. it's amazing. and y'know what? i think i might actually get a higher grade because of it.
