So, that didn't happen...
Hello -
So, that didn't happen.
On Memorial Day I basically did what I said I was going to do.
Yesterday I had Physics, where we learned all about parallel circuits. Then I went directly to English, where I did the pre-writing for my Catcher in the Rye essay. My only reprieve from core-subject work came with choir, although that wasn't much of a reprieve. We had a sub so we went into sectionals. My fellow altos made it clear from the start that they had no plans of doing any work. I will be so happy next year if I get into Select because then my fellow choir members will be as eager and willing to work as I am. We then were supposed to finish a video. It wasn't the right one, but I didn't know since I had an SOL the previous class. When the movie was over they finally said something. For the rest of the class we watched a kiddie movie. That entire class period was so stupid!
After school I wrote my entire essay so that I would have time to do revisions to it, as well as time for my teachers to look at it.
This morning I had history, and the topic du jour was one of my teacher's analogies gone wild. We had to say whether in the United States are certain ethnic groups equal to the white Caucasions. The introduction, group time, and group presentations took up the entire class period. What a waste! I then went to my Web Development class. We are now down to working on our final. I enjoyed working on it except for the times when I was trying to import pictures into Flash and when I would click okay Flash would close without prompting me to save. I can not tell you how many times I did the same step over and over. I then, with only about twenty minutes left in class, began to work on my banner.
After Web Page Development I went to Spanish. We had our PALS Writing (quarterly/final exam writing examinations) and then two review project groups were supposed to present. Only two people presented (of 8) and of those two there was only one person who was prepared and professional. Also in Spanish and during lunch today I had to deal with the attitude of my classmate/friend Mitchell. He had to do a major PowerPoint/10 page essay assignment yesterday (given yesterday, due tomorrow) all yesterday because of play practice today until 8 pm. He also had a lot of math homework to complete. As a result of all this, he didn't sleep AT ALL. You can imagine the problems that ensued. Even without the lack of sleep and the stress load Mitchell is a very temperamental person. During lunch someone asked him why he was in such a bad mood. I explained the lack of sleep. This person said that that wasn't an excuse, so Mitchell said "Shut the f--- up! I don't f---ing care! within earshot of the administrator table. He was sent up to the subschool for the rest of the lunch period.
After Spanish came Algebra, where we learned 3 (6.5-6.7) lessons in less than an hour and a half. You can not imagine how happy I was to be finished with that class and the school day! I then had to stay after for a rehearsal for an extra group I am singing with for the June choral department concert. After I came home and had a snack I then had to do over an hour of math homework. UUGH!
Tomorrow I can go pick up my yearbook!
My Spanish presentation is on Friday. I will let you know how that goes.
I think that's it.
