I was sitting in this doctor's office today, looking at the various cartoon characters adorning the walls. Curious George, the cast of "Cars", Marlin and Dory, etc. One poster void of any animated movie stars caught my attention due to something hidden in the background. Behind all the fish swimming about in business suits and sea taxis (complete with sea-advertisements: Drink Plankton Lite!) stood a lone billboard with three beloved letters in faded pink. TMS. What did it mean, peeking out from behind the Animalia Chordata Actinopterygii (I'm doing Bio homework as I write this, apologies for the jargon)? I don't know what this literal sign meant, but it was at least worth a mention.

Day 21

I had a lot of food to unload in the pantry today. It was fun, making everything seem nice and in order. I've only had two shipments to unload; I wish there were more. Breakfast was DONUTS and they had GLAZED and POWDERED SUGAR and they were REALLY GOOD. I had two, and some milk. There were no oranges this morning. It was tasty but not that healthy. In History I was not really paying attention to the powerpoint showing us all the American propaganda posters that were put up around WWI. In Precalc (another thing that bothers me about Open Office and also Word: sometimes if you add a word to its dictionary it won't recognize the possessive of that word, or that word capitalized) I think we did more fun things with factorials. I'm still waiting for a real, constant challenge. Proof by Induction was that for the wrong reason.

In Spanish I stumbled through my presentation on this basketball game; I guess that's what happens when you don't rehearse, haha. In E. Sci. Pat gave a cool lecture on tectonic plates. It was fairly interesting. This is just what happened in class, but I don't really recall the individual events... sat with David and Hallie during math and did the Matrix on our computers [hit Log( and Ln( over and over, then clear]. In Spanish Anika David and I talked about our unforgettable days; Anika wrote about Cordoba (lejana... y sola...). Such a sick time. For lunch... (I also had two more donuts during the second-period break) what was lunch? Ah, yes: tacos. We had some sort of... beef, I suppose (In Spanish we also read another AP reading comprehension activity... good times in Sophomore year!). It was red and in what I call pellets, but that's not what you call, it, reader.

O reader. I wish I could put in some illustrations for you. Maybe some photos, if I ever take them. I'll probably just get my science site (which I'll get to). Back to soft tacos: beef, re-fried beans, sour cream, cheese. And for some reason I had a chicken and rice soup with that. I went with Jake, Jimmy, and David to the Hemenway Tract during science hike for our sites. David found his fairly quickly along Back Brook, and the rest of us went up to the west edge of TMS property before heading back. I found my little amphitheater-esque spot. We had lots of fun walking along the ice, and this one time I stepped on one spot and the ice emitted the perfect ice-cracking noise you have ever heard. I stepped with my other foot, bringing them together, and it sounded again. I froze. This was going to be bad. David yelled to me to move, and I jumped to the bank, with the ice still whole. That was fun.

I'll be going out Sunday with Jake, Sam, and Jimmy to find other sites. During my free I read the English story. I liked it, or at least the music sections where Snipe played with the Twilights. Charlotte and I were having fun fighting over small things. In English that continued while we did sort of discuss the poem... I think. Jack ended the day reading from our journals, and it was spectacular as always. He read from mine where I talked about being drained by Friday and where I mentioned 'yer' on the internet. For dinner we had steak, potatoes, and green beans. The potatoes weren't that great (I'm not a fan of straight plain potatoes... sweet potatoes are good, as are fries, but cooked potatoes... not my thing), but the steak was succulent. After dinner there was a massive game of lap-tag. I started out restraining Charlotte, but then moved around. It was a great workout, when I got called. There was a bit too much waiting with the size of our group.

Shit, I have the TMP [Milton's Independent Newpaper!] article. I really can't write about anything... I'm sorry Quinn. I wish I had time for you, but it is a very full time up here [I never did write anything for her]. Lap tag featured Zoe R-A, Kyra, Maddy, Kemi, Becky, and Maddy as surprisingly fiesty players. Jay and Charlotte had a head-on collision early on. Once it reached 7:45 we all headed to our respective houses (I'll start wrapping up now... tired) to have our discussion. I went to Underwood with Hallie, Jay, Nell, Rebecca, and Gabby, where we mostly ate lava cake and whipped cream, wore wigs and talked about chill things... the last two years at high school, planning for weekends back home, weekends here, being comfortable here... When we finished it was 9:20, so we all went back to our dorms. I was a little late for dorm meeting, but it was fine. It was another good meeting. Kit brought up weights afterward for people to show off... or work out. Patrick is into that, which I didn't know. Alright, that's it for now. Tomorrow is laundry and some work. And handing out food at the carnival with Phoebe and Yomalis.
