Even though I wasn’t around in the ’70’s or ’80’s, I can still tell if a song is from that time period. Will people born in the year 2021 be able to tell if a song is from this decade? What will people even call this decade? or the next one? and what will I call my graduating class? The class of eleven doesn’t sound good, once you reach ten, and then until nineteen, it just sounds weird. Oh eight, oh nine….. ten? Just sounds funny…..
Today we had a snow day, which, I kind of didn’t want, because i wanted to see my friends, but it’s really good because we have exams starting tomorrow, so this means we have a shorter week, which means I’ll probably do better on my exams.
A LOT has happened since I posted the last time, but I’m not going to tell you about it.
SOS is something at our school for students who have bad grades, generally if you have an E (previously called an “F”, I guess getting an E is better for your self esteem.), and at least one other bad grade. I’m not quite sure what it stands for, either save our students or steps of success, I’ve heard both. So, I’m an A B student, I’ll never need it right? Ha, that’s what I thought. This week I had to stay after school to get caught up with my work. The teacher who stays after to supervise us is evil. I hate him. He’s rude to us. He treats us like garbage just because we have bad grades. He yelled at my friend for looking for something to work on.
“What are you working on?” (he’s saying this in a very rude voice)
“I’m looking for something to work on”
“Well, I wopuld imagine you’d have plenty of stuff to work on because you’re in SOS, so why don’t you hurry it up?” (now yelling)
He even made one kid cry. He doesn’t let us leave the room. He was judging every one of us because we had a bad grade. I hate that. I hate him. He has never even met me or my friends before, he immediately judged us, to him we are bad people. We are not bad people, we are all very smart. In fact, the only reason I’m in SOS is because what we are learning in our classes I have learned at least two times before. I had to learn algebra to take the SAT, and again to try to test out of my math class. I learned about plate tectonics in 5th grade, and I got it then. And social studies, well, I just don’t like social studies. So the whole 50 minutes we have in class, I’m spaced out, thinking about other, more important things, or maybe just looking out the window. So I just forget to turn my homework in. I just can’t even say how much I hate him.
SOS did help me though, if I hadn’t been in it, I wouldn’t have been able to make up all that missing work. I am grateful, I just hate the teacher.
I almost think it’s funny that I was in SOS, when I told my friends, they didn’t believe me. It took some convincing.
MEAPS are done!!! YAY!!!!!
I didn’t feels so good today. I was really hot, and I had a migrane. Yuck. It started during bad when I realized the music was shimmering. So when I started playing it I messed up. A LOT. And to make it worse there were only three trumpets playing, and it was our first time playing it, and I was the only one on my part. Then I just felt sick all day.
On Friday my friends and I went to the football game. Paige and Anna came over after school and spent the night afterwards. It was really fun. Taylor almost didn’t come, but when Anna, Paige and I were walking around he showed up. And Will didn’t come at all. We danced to the band (still the losers behind the band), and hung out and tried to stay warm drinking hot chocolatte. Taylor would’ve had to leave at 8:30 (half-time), but we gave him a ride home. After half-time we said hello to all of our high school friends and then we went back to being the losers behind the band.
Yesterday I played The Star Spangled Banner at a marching band compitition along with some of my friends and band members. It was fun, but I had to stand next to a seusaphone that was making me claustraphobic. . We stayed afterwards to watch and it was pretty cool. Some of the bands were really good. I forget which band won, but I do know that they had cool hats.
It snowed today! And not just some wimpy flurries that disapear in an hour, it SNOWED! After the first round of MEAP testing for the day, Paige, Anna, and I went outside and caught snowflakes on our tongues. Sadly, we missed the Hokey-Pokey our other friends were doing. Before lunch we went outside too, Paige threw a snowball at me, and I threw one at her, and then we went to eat lunch. The trees haven’t even completely changed colors and I’ve already been hit by a snowball!
