A Wednesday update, why not? Minor cuts during boring parts. A few good tangents, a few good antics. If anything else, these entries provide a startling glimpse into the male psyche.

Or not.

Day 18

There wasn't much to do in the pantry. Breakfast was toast and eggs, an orange and some milk. During my free I tried to go on the internet, but we were FAPped. [I then drew in the diagrams in my E. Sci. chapter. In English David Charlotte and I were at a table. It was fun. Jack liked my essay- B+. I can improve, and already have a pseudo-topic for next week. He did say, as I thought, that I was too rhetorical in spots.] I'll try to go quicker now- bedtime and whatnot. Farm seminar was a fairly interesting panel from three experts in the Forestry business. I didn't have a comfortable position for it though. [In E. Sci. I did a little bit of studying in terms of writing slightly Engrish descriptions of trees.] I mostly was on the internet; the FAP might have worn off by then. Lunch was grilled cheese and tomato soup: Amazing. It was very, very good (even though Jack doesn't like that word).

Jack, Comfort and I discussed Spanish/Mexican film. Mostly Broken Embraces, though: the new Almodovar film that I want to see for the quality of the story and images and Penelope Cruz's... acting. Her boobs, I mean. I want to see them. In Bruceworks we mostly cleaned... nothing great. I did screw a board onto a door so it couldn't open and install a clutch spring, but other than that we cleaned a potting shed and a wood shed. Nothing great. After lunch Hallie and I got help in learning Proofs by Induction, and it made sense.

In Spanish the test was unnerving- I wrote too many imperfects it felt like. Wait, I forgot math: we had a practice little quiz thing. It was not hard. Hallie and Rebecca were doing physics corrections for most of class. I feel like I got off easy with Class IV Physics. Dinner was a tasty chicken recipe, rice, zucchini, and bread. I sat with Hallie, Charlotte, Pat, Anika, Rachel, and Taylor. Before dinner, Anika, Rachel and I were talking about Spain and how we're going to party sometime soon.

Hallie and I did the math practice quiz with Rebecca in the English room. It was not a group effort- I did problems and then would check them with Hallie and Rebecca afterward. [That sounds more brutal than it actually was--I'm sure Hallie and Rebecca were doing problems together while I did them in a solo group.] Hallie lent me her Mac once I finished so I could type my Spanish essay about the most unforgettable day in my life. I, once again, chose the bus stop story. SHIT YEAH I JUST CHECKED THE WORD COUNT AND WE'RE AT 5 DIGITS NOW! THE BOLDED UNDERLINED ITALICIZED AND IS THE 10,000TH WORD. Anyway.

After that I got mad at Charlotte (and later Hallie) because she (and later she) had never heard of Who's On First (and later because she had never heard of Who's On First). I tried finding the script online, but it was down. Oh well. I went back to Miles, made some tea, and read my English in my bed. Check-in was fun. There were some scattered laughs throughout the evening. We have to clean our rooms tomorrow, says Comfort. Once she left I prepared the ultimate cup-o-ramen and, because I had no fork, I stirred it with a pencil and started eating it with my pliers. I sure hope they're okay. They were a little tough to get back in the closed position... but the Ramen was good overall. I read the History reading but did not take notes- that's for tomorrow. We're going to bed early today- before 11.
