During spare I came home and watched the end of a movie, and then I watched squirrels out our window. They're SO cute. My math teacher laughed at one of my jokes today! That was pretty intense... anyway. In film there was only one other kid from my group, so we just wrote the Treatment - which is sort of the 'backstory' to our project. Yup. Karter's project is gonna be sweet - it's even creepy to listen to the planning of it. I think it'll be really good. In bio we started worms and stuff. So great. Karter fingerprinted my thumb, which is all well and good, but now I have ink all over my thumb that won't wash off.
I'm going to have cereal for supper tonight. Yea. I am. YEA!

Day One Twenty-Nine
Listening to some Blink 182...!! So good.
In socials we learned more stuff about the fifties. It's kind of a mushy blur. During spare I went home and swept my room and did laundry. In math we learned some more stuff, too. I understood it! For once! At lunch I was going to help Karter study, cause I'm cool like that, but we couldn't get his pages. I'm the one who has his missing tasks list. He is going to pass biology 11. During film we broke into groups for silent films and tossed ideas back and fourth. My group liked one of my ideas best, so we're going with it. We're doing a kid who doesn't know any answers to a final test, and just starts freaking out. It'll be funny! In biology we had a sub. We also had a test, and finished the dissecting a camel video. Then... well, firstly, the sub was pretty old. His voice was really monotone, and deep. He called one kid a youngster. I felt sort of bad for him, cause it's not the easiest class to take over. He didn't strike me as 'fragile-old' though - more like 'hardened military-old.' Then he started telling about the camels in Kuwait. ... then he started telling us about the 5% of Kuwaitis that have ruined the name for all the rest of them, because they're 'rich and spoiled.' Something about oil... then he said they ride motorbikes too fast and don't wear helmets. Then... he started telling us about this teacher lady that couldn't leave Kuwait. And... hmm.. Yea. Then at about 3:28, people started getting ready to leave, and he didn't want them to leave, because school wasn't technically out yet, but he sort of didn't say it loud enough, so a few people left. Then I felt bad again as I sat there.
It was mostly funny. But also slightly sad.

127, 128
I forgot to post yesterday. This is because I went to Karter's house. We watched our comedic and dramatic films yesterday - the teacher really liked them! So that's a good thing. Had a socials midterm. I got 79 out of 100 I think? Not too bad! I'm getting a B in socials, an A in both bio and film (in Bio I got a 96 on a test we did. YEA I did), and a C+ in math. Gahhh. But that's ok. I already have my math credits - I just need to keep pluggin' away and doing my best. In socials today we started learning about suburbia - I love pictures from the fifties. But I really can't wait for the 60s. The Endless Summer, Z Boys, the Beach Boys, and all that good stuff. In math today we started a new unit - whoopie doo. In film we were in the library studying / researching for our essay. I'm relatively sure I was the only one who actually did anything. Ha..ha... ahh. In bio we reviewed, then watched a movie where the cut up a camel. Tomorrow we get to finish it. A few people looked pretty grim, but I thought it was so cool! Camels have these floppy skin projections in their cheeks, so their cheeks chew as well! So cool!!

The Weekend!
I went to the beach! When I got home I made myself a smoothie, and I was pretty pumped up for it... but it's not as good as I wanted it to be. And that is my story.

Day one hundred twenty-six.
I have a math test AND a socials midterm on Monday. I'm not stressed. Today in math I leaned over to the friend behind me and said, "Sometimes this class makes me feel dumb," And the teacher heard and was like, 'Why would you say that when you're getting a B?" And then I felt bad for some reason. I'm starting to like the teacher a bit more. She's still terrifying, but I feel like she's relaxed a little bit. Also, she still wears her hair down since my friend and I complimented it.
We had a practice midterm in socials today. I only got a 68, but that was with no time for studying. This weekend we don't have the musical on Sunday, and we're only supposed to be there in the evening on Saturday, so I'll be able to study then. In film I helped another group film there's, and Karter helped another group. Cause we were the only one's that were done. I'm pretty sure people think of me as a try hard, which isn't a bad thing, but... I just don't jack around and I do stuff on time - meh. Karter was practicing fake punching my face. We freaked one kid out.
In bio we learned about jellyfish. So cool - the reason things 'sting' is because they have a little ol' sensory cell on em', and when the sensor gets pushed a little harpoon shoots out and sticks in you! If the prey is too big and can pull away, the harpoon is ripped off, but the jelly can grow a new one.
Hooray!
Then she let us go ten minutes early. Hoorayer!

Day 124
We got an early release today! I'm home already. Yaaay!
In socials we saw some sweet medals. The German medals are way cooler than the British ones, just saying. Every class was only an hour today. That was sweet. During lunch I helped Karter study for bio, cause I'm nice like that. In film we had to pick a group of two, then group up with another group of two. Karter and I are a group, and two other friends are with us. Each group of two has to do a dramatic scene and a comedic scene, and write a script and stuff, and the other group films them, and vice versa. Our's is gonna be pretty funny, I think. In bio we started on kingdom Animalia. I remember helping my friend Mikee do all of this homework last year, so I feel super behind. But it's all good.
Tonight is opening night of the musical! They had a performance yesterday, but that didn't count cause it was just for elementary students. Today is the big deal! I'm pumped.
