Day 74

Breakfast was french toast, and during morning meeting Jay, Steph, Rachel and I waltzed in to announce the dance. Jay and Rachel went one route that was cluttered with chairs, and they crashed. Steph and I, having never danced like that before, did ok. During my free I printed out the sign-up sheet, and the school computers did not support my awesome fonts. In English Jack made a point of my using the word one in sentences like “one should not use this word,” and we gave speeches from the mailbox to Derby lawn. Jack liked mine better than Taylor's. Liana held Farm Seminar on Library Hill, and we all sat in the warm grass. Steph, Charlotte and I played with grass; Charlotte lay on me and we both closed our eyes. Liana talked about vegetable crops, and several students had questions.

On the way back, Hallie and I walked together discussing something I'm forgetting right now. In E. Sci., I was working outside when a commotion to my left distracted me from typing the same words about my site and trying to read 11points in the sun. Delphi had a brown furry in her mouth, and when she put it down I thought it was a small beaver for the way its back seemed to drag behind it, like a tail. Liana and a French class quickly ran out, and Phoebe from E. Sci. joined my side. Liana identified it as a groundhog, and its back legs, Rob later determined, must have been hurt by a fox or something: they dragged behind it uselessly. People were telling Delphi to attack it, Rob to shoot it, and in the confusion it dragged itself on its front legs into a pipe, so said Rob. I saw its back legs drag out of side to the site of the former TMS Glacier.

After that, there was a lunch of delicious salad (in the cookbook! I can make it!), Spanakopita (first day encore!) and brownies. Ate with Shizue... I know I ate breakfast with some people from the Spanish AP. Work was with Gabby, Jimmy and Nick, picking up sticks around Miles. I had a weird feeling in my mouth. Doug took a picture of us in an apple tree, and I just started singing the Wolfmother song. We discussed the River Styx, treasure hunts, and videogames. Nick told me several stories about Dungeons and Dragons after we got started on RPGs. Next was math... I didn't really do any math. I need to find my calculator.

Dinner was MEATLOAF and MASHED POTATOES. I ate with Hallie, Yoyo, Zoe J, Brigitte and Cedric. We discussed wisdom. I made a joke about people calling me “wise-ass”. I asked Rowan what was up, and he asked as to the location of Zoe J, I informed him, and he proceeded to cut her arms off, as he does everyone. And give them concrete shoes. We talked about that on Work too. After dinner I talked with Hallie about David; we were writing journals together before reading Goodbye Colombus with Charlotte. Brigitte and Cedric were there; I made another joke about Baby Schwartzenegger. Charlotte came, we read aloud, Hallie provided us with insights, reading was fun, I appreciated the acting opportunities. Once we finished, we all went to feed the chickens. Upon returning, I wrote Hallie a chocolate-box note. And that's what we were talking about walking back from Farm Seminar!

But yes, I wrote it, did shutdown, and walked back to Miles listening to Shelter from the Storm. My other favorite Bob Dylan song is I Want You, for the guitar in it is so happy. Also, All Along the Watchtower is apparently about changing society. In Miles, Isaac and I talked about Spain and stuff, and he, David, Jake, Sam S, Patrick and I did 5 plank minutes. Fun day. Tomorrow will be as fun.
