Dealings of El Dia
I've had a perplexing day ahora. Actually, all of my days are perplexing, but was today especially so. I aced my very large physics test, and got 28 out of 29 points on my US history quiz. I think I did fairly well on my math test, considering that I have a teacher whose worth peaks at less than zero. In English I wrote four pages on how the character development of Lennie and Crooks in Of Mice and Men impacts the structure of the novella, and adds to major themes. I think I did reasonably well in this 50 minute essay test. By that time I was extremely tired, because I took three tests in three consective classes, between which there are no breaks. On the bus-ride home, I had some reflections on Bushism and waste management. After getting home, I--yes, indeed!--left for school again to go to the football game. Band is so despirate for people (especially trumpets) that they'll let me play at any game, so I did that today. I also had a half-time show to run. I sightread all of the very easy band music, and then ran about madly with Dom, Bonnie, duct tape, trash bags, and a soccer ball late in the 2nd quarter, realizing that our half-time show was not going to happen because the administration is a heap of lackeys of their own forgetfulness. So it didn't happen. And I'm preparing for... "extreme disappointment" on the part of various people expecting the halftime show. Then I finished with band and stood in the standing, screaming, heckling portion of the crowd until the end of the game (a true cultural experience), at which point there was a chant of "Drive home safely!" after a 35-7 victory over Cleveland HS. ¡Por fin! Estoy terminado.
