****WARNING, RANT IS ABOUT TO OCCUR!!!!!!!!!!****
So it started off well enough. I was in social studies first period, and we had a test on India, which I scored 100% on, so I was happy. Then I got to my computer class, and WHADDYA KNOW, I get called out of class for a student ambassador thing (we do stuff that the teachers are too lazy to do, like collecting money from the teachers that wear jeans on Friday, and give people tours of the school). So I got to walk around the campus like 3 times, miss almost all of 2nd period, and the first 15 minutes of third period. Then I got to science, only had to take 1 paragraph of notes, and then got to read straight through for like 25 minutes. Then we got to go to a dance performance (some flamenco people came in). Then we went back to the room, got our stuff for lunch, and went to walk around the track before lunch.
And this is where things went to hell. I handed my lunch box to Georgie, and said I was gonna go run. So I ran around the track halfway, then ran back to get my lunch box. My other friend, Anthony, came running up with my banana and my orange, and says that Kay (another friend) and Georgie took my Swiss Rolls out of my lunchbox, and ate them. Now, I wasn't that upset. But Neon was. Because I had promised them to him, and then Kay and Georgie went and undermined the promise I made. So Neon was all pissed, which made him snap at Anthony and Kay. Kay was like... almost crying through third period.
I love my friends to death, but I've got to wonder how many mental issues all of them have. Neon was pissed over some goddamn chocolate snack cakes, Kay was crying over it, Georgie had the nerve to steal my food... I have a headache.
If you read that entire thing, props to you, but there's more. I forgot to do my Geometry homework, and gave my teacher some lame-ass excuse that I couldn't get access to a calculator to do it on. Which I couldn't, because I did what I could in science, when I was supposed to be reading. She actually believed it. I honestly couldn't believe my luck. So it was really good. Unfortunately, I have more due on Tuesday. UGH!
Anyway, our school is going on a trip to the beach in May. I AM SO HAPPY! Because my mom said yes, which I never expected, because she's a professional worry-wart. We're going to an island with wild horses, to an aquarium, and fishing. I'll have to get up at like... 4:15 or 4:30 so I can get to school on time (we have to be there at 5:30, 'cause the buses pull out at 6). But we don't get back until like 8:45 AT NIGHT! I'll miss all of school! SO AWESOME! But I'll have double the homework the night before, cause I'll have to do 2 days' worth of homework. Originally, it was just one group of students (their group of teachers is called the Tigers, and they're the snobs of 7th grade), but it got opened to the Lions (underachievers) and the Sharks (right in the middle) because there were 30 seats that couldn't be filled. So I'm going! SO HAPPY! I love my Science teacher, because the top students were actually told before the others, and I got a seat reserved because I was absent on the day that the top students were told. YAY!
I'm gonna go now.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to overcome that fear.
