Thursday, April 14, 2011

Student protests took place Tuesday night because the administrators are "proposing" a seven period schedule. I'm not really sure I should share my opinion on this, as it might be offensive. Let's suffice it to say that I strongly disagree.

Yesterday, the end of the "grading period", was a half day. Meaning, a half of a half day, so school got out at eleven instead of at one, like it normally does on Wednesdays. After school, I went downtown with some friends of mine and attempted to be a social creature. Need I say "EPIC FAILURE!!"? My social awkwardness again interfered with my ability to interact with other human beings, resulting in my being very short tempered and irritable. Not to mention stubborn.

Bend seems to have made up it's mind about the weather. But who knows. We've only had twelve winters this year. Since Bend doesn't seem to be able to come to a conclusion about whether or not to accept the reality that Spring has officially started, we find ourselves in a constant state of trepidation.

Summit High School poetry club is running less than smoothly. Turns out, I suck at leading. But I suck at following too. Maybe this is something I should discuss with my shrink...

Oh well, I think that's all for now... at least, that's all my superfluously overtaxed mind can remember as of right now. So I'll probably be back as soon as something interesting happens in my ever boring life.

Hello there everyone...

Sorry I haven't been very consistant about posting lately. We've had loads of work in school, and over the break I wasn't able to because I didn't have access to a computer. FROWN! Anyways, here's the update:

Bend is sunny and warm. Yay!!!! It's about time too, we've only had about... six winters this year! Snowfall was intermittent and heavy only in the past few months. We had a snow day! The sixth one in twenty years, after having a foot and a half of snow in a single night.

Dino, my doberman, is 16 months old. Murphy, my little cockapoo with a big atitude, is three years old. Dino still thinks he and Murphy are the same size, and gets very jealous when Murphy gets held. Dino doesn't quite understand that if we tried to pick him up, we'd fall over backward!

School is a bittersweet collection of agonies. In other words, homework sucks as usual, but things are better than they have been. Also, I've started a poetry slam club and writing workshop, along with joining a historical debate group. Through this, I've made new friends and relationships with intelligent people whom I hope will be above the drama of high school.
(In case you haven't noticed, I hate drama in every form.)

I also attempted to start an AP European History study group to meet during lunch on Wednesdays leading up to exams, but no one came to it, so I stopped having it until closer to finals.

I'll post soon... I promise :)
