| I fell asleep last night after one, and I woke up feeling like I'd never slept at all, but I wasn't tired. I didn't finish my notecards until the very beginning of English class, which is why I got so little sleep. After I got to English, my teacher informed us that we had the class period to peer edit the notecards, and that we could hand them in tomorrow. Even though mine weren't completly perfect, they were pretty good, so I was one of the three people from all of the Honors English people to hand them in. And one of the few people to actually finish at all. Physics was nice, because I got my grade back for my last test: 105. Mrs. B told me I got the only perfect score out of all of her classes, which is cool. And then I corrected something on her answer key, further impressing her with my brilliance (ha). I would have been more impressed with myself if I weren't in a college prep physics class populated with more than it's fair share of idiots who waste all their time texting each other on their cellphones, but it was still nice. In math I got my third marking period grade: B. I know I'm at the top of that class (again, not exactly an achievement), but if I had gotten an A- or higher on my last test, I would have an A- on my report card. US History was fun. I wrote my essay (due today) for that class in 37 minutes flat. Woot, go me. And it was pretty good too, I think, so it was nice to hand it in. And we just started talking about the godless commies of the 1950's, which is always a cool topic because my grandparents were godless commies. Or, as they prefered to call themselves, radicals. Not that much different, the FBI still bothered them. (My grandparents are/were so cool. Especially when they brought my mom to peace marches and stuff.) We're singing some new songs in choir, including a spiritual that actually turned out to be pretty awesome. Barrett had to explain to me exactly who Daniel was at lunch, but it's still a cool song. And in English, it turns out I am actually behind much of the rest of the class in the book we were given but not yet assigned to read. I was merely on page 88 at the start of class; half of everyone else is done all ready. I'm on 120 now, I think, and I'll finish tonight because it's good. Our student teacher says that if we all read ahead and finish the book quickly, we can make a movie (either in small groups or in the entire class, we're not sure yet). A movie! Of Slaughterhouse Five! She told us to start writing scripts. I'm envisioning a lot of swirling light, this could be awesome. Especially because all we usually do for a book is write an essay, fill out worksheets, take a few quizes, and listen to our teacher drone on and on about whatever he feels like "relating" to the book that day. I'm really looking forward to it, especially since I have two weeks till the next research paper component is due. |
