Aww, you guys are too much. I knew this would come in useful some day. I had a busy day today. In between hearing poetry readings, watching a 4-hour hockey playoff game (that we won, 4-3, in TRIPLE OVERTIME!), and writing a lab report, I am wiped. Hoo boy. And then we do it again. We did it on Thursday, May 6th, 2010, and we'll do it for just a few more weeks until senior spring. Ahh, spring. Ahh, spring.

Day 76

Pancake breakfast! Jake had a sing-a-long of What A Wonderful World for his morning humble that went well. In Spanish we talked about the projects (spoiler alert: I just finished a rough sketch of the beginning. A guy who loves his slightly sheltered mother goes to the sanitarium in that one story and overcomes his grief and finds independence he didn't have before). In E. Sci. I reviewed for History a bit and got an outline for my synopsis; I'll ask Pat about woodlots, orchards, and sugarbushes tomorrow. The History quiz was fun; the first page was iffy, but after that I was confident.

In English, David, Lex, Taylor and I had trouble discussing Goodbye, Colombus, but we picked up at the end with questions. I got an A- on my E. Sci. chapter; Pat said in the comments that he was too busy laughing to care if a novice reader would get it. Kit returned my History corrections; I went from a D+ to a C+, so that's something. Lunch was coleslaw, baked beans, and a brown bread that Chelsea and the faculty loved, but I couldn't stand. Something about the toughness and disagreeable flavor. I had two servings of coleslaw, it was that good. Dish crew was fine; we ended early. Sam P and I brought up chickens from below for dinner.

In Outdoor Program, I was on the internet for a bit, then did the SAT II (710, better than last time. Many more left, many more left blank.), wherein I was annoyed with David's pen-chewing arrogance [Y U SO GOOD AT NUMBERS?!]. After that I typed some words for my E. Sci. synopsis and wondered as to the future of orchards, sugarbushes, and woodlots. I'm finding new uses for the Oxford comma, in terms of the feel. It has a time and place. After that free was Math class, wherein there was a mad scramble for signing up for a slot to teach the class one part of the curriculum: Rebecca Celli and I are doing Probability.

After that, she, Rachel and I attempted the Exeter homework packet, made more difficult by my lack of a calculator. Dinner was arrived late to by Kemi, Hallie, Matt, Nora, Anika and I due to our being in the library. I was listening to Comfortably Numb, so it was cool. We sat with Missy, Alden, Ella, and Sue Kruse (Alright, now I'm very partial to the Oxford Comma. It gives the list the sense of space it needs.), but missed Jake's second humble. Dinner was chicken, rice, and greens that I didn't try. I did have multiple slices of pull-apart bread, which is apparently loaded with butter.

Charlotte and I did our reading; I got some good voices and emotions going in scenes with a drunk Jew and a Neil-Brenda breakup. Overall it was a fun book. I look forward to a total discussion in class. There was a rainbow in the sky, at which we all gathered and exulted. I started a recitation of My Heart Leaps Up. Next was a little more internet, then some research for History. The book I chose might not have much on protests... the section I thought would've been good, and read tonight, was more on a chaotic convention floor... I don't even know what it was talking about. Check-in was fun; we did the usual laugh riots. Taylor and I played Goin' to California, Reelin' in the Years, and More Than A Feeling after: I pioneered the pencil-pick theory. People are stressing about the History AP; I just make jokes. Panic of 1837? First horror movie! It's a dance move! Van Buren saw a monster in his closet! Well, once more, let's escape into Discworld. I left Hallie a crazy note; I wonder as to her reaction.
