Hey, yo, watcha' goin' do?
Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhh......

I went to bed late last night, after half-heartedly attempting a Physics lab write-up. Trying to do that only served to remind me why, exactly, I was dropping the course.

Other than the format, I didn't understand a bit of it. >_>

I got up to school early today, so that I could meet up with my guidance councillor and drop out of Honors Physics. On Friday, I had gone to the Guidance department to accomplish this same feat, but my guidance councillor had left early. v_v;;

So, I get to the department early this morning, but she (my guidance councillor) isn't coming in until 11:30! >:O

I was told to come in early on Monday morning to work out this Physics issue, and she's not even there!

Ergh.

Honors Pre-Calculus was first up on the schedule today. I kept Mr. Pukstas from noticing my homework was incomplete, and fiddled around with my calculator. I am becoming proficient at both.

We corrected a couple of tests in English, and we had a few questions thrown out after we successfully argued our point, or showed that the question was invalid. I think I got three wrong out of twenty-eight on one test, and then one wrong on the other. 'Twas a good couple of tests.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Fire drill. w00t. While we were waiting to go back inside, my friend Tom and I speculated on the reaction of a deaf person to a fire alarm. Presumably, the flashing lights on the alarm thingamajigs are supposed to be for them. What could have been a promising discussion deteriorated from the outset into something dumb involving a deaf person doing "the robot" during some slow song.

Oy.

I didn't have my assignment done for Theology today, but I did get the article so I can get it done after this.

I got my Psych test back today. I got an 83. ^_^ Considering I've never had her as a teacher before, and I didn't really know what to expect, Mrs. Bednarz thinks I did fairly well. Yay. :)

During lunch, myself, Tom, Tim, John and Joe spouted history terms and information at each other. Heh. It was much fun. ^_^ We were shouting at each other and correcting each other and stuff.

"Ostend Manifesto!"

"No, it's 1854!"

"Canada isn't a state!"

And then we took the test. :p

I waited in the Guidance office for all of my Off period, waiting for my councillor to show up. It was 12:18, and she wasn't there. x_x

At about a quarter of one, she arrived and then took John in to fix his schedule. I was left outside the office watching as the clock ticked nearer to 1:00, the start of my next class; Honors Physics.

When the bell rang, I panicked and asked the secretary what I should do. Should I stay here and wait to fix my schedule, or go to the class that I'm going to drop? She told me to stay in the office, and then started me on my way to switching out of Honors Physics. I had to get written consent from Mr. Baginski, my Physics teacher. So, I ran upstairs and wrote up a note. Then I walked into the classroom (a couple minutes after the bell had rung, signaling class had started) and knocked on the door frame. He was in the middle of saying something about people dropping out, and then stopped to sign my note. While he was affixing his signature, I stole a glance at the class. Gillian looked a bit shocked, and Evan was playfully crestfallen. The other night, he told me: "You can't leave this class! What am I supposed to do without you there for guidance?"

Heh. Yeah...

So, I went back down to the Guidance office. A couple people had lined up ahead of me while I was gone, so I had to wait even after John left. When I finally got into Sister John Bridget's office, (Yes, Sister John Bridget) we looked at all of the available courses in the two periods I would have free. Most of the classes I had either already taken, or I had no incentive to join. I couldn't do band, as I don't play an instrument. I didn't really want to go into Spanish, having taken French since sixth grade. And, Anatomy and Physiology wouldn't really be any better than Physics. v.v

We finally decided upon Sociology. So, come tomorrow, that is what I will be taking in H period. I've got a good deal to catch up on, I think, but Mrs. Bednarz saw no problem in me coming in this late in the year. All I need to get is her signature, and I'm golden.

So, I left the Guidance office feeling rather fulfilled. I was finally out of Honors Physics. I walked to the cafeteria, as there really wasn't any point in me going to Sociology for seven minutes. Lo and behold! Five of my good friends were there in that Off period!

John had switched the Off period we shared for a Band class, and so had this period Off instead of having Physics. John-Paul was there, as were Tom and Ryan. It looked like a pretty good Off period to me. ^_^

Oh, right. Five people. Amanda was there! :D She got up as soon as I walked in and said something like: "My savior is here!"

Apparently she wasn't too fond of her present company. So, I sat down with them for a little while until the bell rang, and then I walked Amanda upstairs and got my books to go home.

It gets pretty dull after that. Work from 3:30-6:30. Acquisition and consumption of dinner 6:30-7-something. Completion of this post: 8:05.

Homework: 8:05 -------->
