Hmm. Blogger must be switching people to the new version chronologically, 'cause mine's still the old one.
NHS meeting this morning. My grandma drove me this morning. She got here early, but instead of coming inside, she walked around in the backyard at first. I saw her as I was making my lunch, and it seriously scared me. What am I supposed to think when there's someone traipsing around behind my house. I was sort of late to the meeting, but Ms. Bitondo didn't even show up to open Ms. Sheehan's door until after I got there, so I'm good. They collected contact info, gave out contract-thingies, and explained the point system. Everything NHS-related (meetings, fundraisers, pizza sales) is assigned points. We have to get 110 points by graduation to be allowed to graduate as an NHS member. That might be a bit tricky, but I think I can handle it.
During lunch we were visited my Mykella, Iris, and some other girl (I think her name is Sharon). Still no Alanna... wonder where she is. I had much fun bouncing between chatting with Hope and Mykella versus Sarah, Iris, and maybe-Sharon. And I had Sour Cream and Onion-flavored Utz chips, which always make me feel better. My comfort foods are mashed potatoes, chocolate, soft bread, and chips.
Guess who's basically finished with her power supply? Me! I just have to put a knob on the potentiometer and I'm done.
And except for the screw Kevin drilled in for me before I realized what he was doing I did all the work on it
all by myself. I feel much more competent than usual. Yeah, it took me about a month to finish, but
I made it and it works. Yay for me!
We finally finished
Schindler's List in history class. Dear Lord. That was a great movie. Besides being R-rated for violence and nudity, it is incredible. There were times when I was so stunned by what I saw, I absolutely froze. It's about the Holocaust, so it's very sad. But, unlike the slow sophomores in that class, I was able to follow the action and understand the benevolence of Oskar Schindler. It's based on true story. It's good to know that someone cared.
Gym was moved to the senior lounge due to grade-level assemblies today. (We had ours first period. Pointless, boring, and redundant. Don't fail, don't break the rules, come to school, and admins that can't speak proper English. Nothing new.) That was a welcome surprise. It was nice to not have to get all sweaty for one day.
Bored to tears in trig and physics. I get the distinct feeling that the ACT is going to screw me over like the SAT did. Why,
why did I sign up for this test now, when I have so many things to do? I did English and math section practice tests tonight, and I didn't score well on either. The English results surprised me. I can punctuate properly. The math sucks. More than SAT math, even. I am going to die.
It's Ac was the usual. Another appearance from Nick. Greg had to leave early. I shined at the end of the lightning rounds; we had one on African-American writers and one on children's literature. Yeah, baby. Those are my kinds of categories.
Possible piano lesson tomorrow. Not good, as we're having It's Ac again for the
actual last time, and it will be my last good opportunity to study for the stupid ACT. And, as I have not studied at all, it looks like I'm taking Dr. J's final on Monday, when it's scheduled.
Overall, I am not in a pleasant mood. Chocolate didn't even make me feel better. I got sick of the taste, which is not a good sign. Stupid stress. I'm going to sleep now. At least I can find solace in my dreamless sleep.
