It was an O.K. day at school. I guess. Today's 1st block was a new class. Health. Learning about "personal hygiene", sex, and drugs. Goodie. I can tell it's gonna suck already. Yeah. 2nd block was orchestra. We actually played for more than 5 minutes today. Whee. Mr. Hale doesn't know when I'll get my H.O. music yet, though. Which sucks. 3rd block was Comm. Arts. We were supposed to write a rough draft of something then the final copy tomorrow. I finished it all today, so I get to sit and do nothing tomorrow. Yay. 4th block was math. It sucked. I spent 20 minutes doing an assignment wrong... I was supposed to estimate but figured out the actual answer instead. 5th block was SAGE, which was pretty fun. We have a field trip in a week. We're going skiing. 6th block was science, and Mr. Manchion was yelling at a lot of people today. Rikki got sent out in the hall twice for being the moron that he is. Today wasn't too good at all. Yesterday was great. 1st block was P.E., but it wasn't too bad. Orchestra was really good. Lots of good jokes. :-D That's the way I like it. 3rd block was all reading about the 5-paragraph essay we were going to write today. Math was easy, as usual. SAGE was... O.K.... it was all researching in the library for our 5-page report. Science was awesome yesterday... Mr. Manchion was in a great mood. Science Olympiad was even better. Let me tell you a bit about Mr. Manchion. He's the man. He's the definition of sarcasm. In class he doesn't smile. Doesn't laugh. Very dry sense of humor. I'm making him sound bad, but he isn't. That's just in class... after school or before school, he's great. When he talks to other adults/teachers he laughs and cracks jokes all the time. Not in class. But anyway, on Tuesday I actually got a laugh and a half-hug thing!! It was really crezzy. Trust me, if you knew Mr. Manchion, you'd know that it isn't like him to crack a joke with you, smile and LAUGH at the same time, then give you a freaking hug! That made my day. It was a total change from his usual self. Anyway, I'm gonna go, I've gotta finish eating this steak. And I've gotta go listen to a different song, I've been listening to Taproot for like 2 hours.
Chorus of Flaw "My Letter"-
So here it goes
This is my letter
Hope you're alright. It's been rough for me
thinking all night. About the places I'd be
If I maybe, just did a little bit more you might've
Let me, become a man for sure
And if I might, express one concern it seems an
issue. All day at every turn
What's the next step, the latest hole in my life
What's next for me to learn
