Kids, remember to drink responsibly
Well, I was going to make a nice large two day post last night, but I was just to tired/not motivated enough to do so, so I put it off until today. But now I can't remember what happend on thursday at all.... I think... Well whatever.

Yesterday in Orchestra was nice. All of the small ensamble people got together and the regular people went off into the random rooms and practiced. We got a bunch of new (easy) music for small ensamble, but the cello player kept messing up. But he fixed that.

So anyways, Michelle and I went up to where the science building is and we went into the area infront of these classrooms are and some crotchety old man was yelling at us to get out of the area. The area around the science building is surrounded by out of bounds lines, so I assumed he wanted us out of the area for that reason. So we walked out and stood just behind the red lines. Then the bell rang, so a bunch of us went twoards the building. Then I noticed my science teacher shooing people out of the area too. So I went over there to see what was happening.

I met my friend, Jessica, who was over there too with one of her friends. Mr. Reta wouldn't tell us what was happening so we were all coming up with theories. Jessica said it might be that the band-o's are practicing. And I said that that made no sense because they could easily practice in the halls while we were in the classrooms. I jokingly add "Mabey it's a bomb."

After a few minutes of standing around, coming up with theories and just hanging out, they told all classes to go to their classrooms, except for the science classes who were to report to the cafeteria. The whole school was out in the halls, so it was like a stamped (well, a moseying stampeed) of people going to their classes/cafeteria.

We spent nearly the whole period in the cafeteria screwing around. Alot of people brought out their cd players, myself included, and listened to music. It was great. We sat around and talked, then Jessica drew on my hand in eyeliner. The class was basically just a bunch of fun nothing-ness. I love science class.

With ten minutes left in the class, Mr. Reta took us back to the classroom to take some notes. And he told us what happened.

The school got a call from some kids saying that there was a bomb, in the science building, in a particular room. They were laughing in the background, so it was obviously a prank, but they still had to take it seriously, so they had 6 police officers checking every cabinet in all of the science rooms for a "bomb."

Crazy little idiots. I hope they get caught, although, it was nice to have first period off.

The rest of the day was pretty average.

In MUN I had a history of the UN test. It was pretty easy. I think I did well on it, but we'll see on monday how well I did.

In english, we finished our "Maps of Maycomb." It was an interesting project to do, but it was a tad tedious. Someone got a cheater map off of the internet, but it wasnt accurate as it had Miss Rachel's house and a Haverford house. Note that Miss Rachel Haverford is one person.

In Spanish, we did this retarded project thing. We had to do little quizzey things, "Que _______ te gusta?" I did bebida (beverage). Uggh. It sucked. I came up with the descriptions for everything on thursday night at 11:15 while watching futurama. It was this little project thing or a test. I would have rather taken a test on this.

PE has been interesting. Softball has been erm "lovely". The other team always cheats, and I can tell they cheat, because I know the rules of softball better than anyone out there, they make false calls on our team and just are horrible sports all together. I tell my team to have integrity and not cheat back. We haven't won a game, but we have our honor.

Geometry has been good, I got a B on one test and 100% on another, so I think I'm doing pretty well. I have an 87% in that class, so If I try harder, I might get an A.

Anime club was great. We watched the first episodes of Full Metal Panic!, Lost Universe and Fruits Basket. I had seen FMP before, but it had been a while so I paid attention. It is one of my favorite animes. I had never seen nor heard of Lost Universe, but it was good, I wouldn't mind seeing more of that. I have read some of the Fruits Basket manga,a but I had never seen the anime. It's pretty much the same. It is super shojo-ey though. The main charachter's eyes take up more than half of her face.

The small ensamble gig thing was last night too. It was fun. Almost all of us got there on time. But our teacher was late. Nearly twenty minutes. Then, when he finally showed up, he realized that he forgot his music. So he had to go back to school, leaving us sitting there for another 15 or so minutes.

While he was gone, we all wandered around for a bit. It is a very intresting place. It is called Joe's Garage and it has a bunch of old cars and memerobelia, its basically a classic car museum place. We were there for the police cheif's retirement party, and we were playing while everyone wandered around for hors d'orves (how in the hell do you spell that?). It was so we could get more publicity and more money.

Mr. Kollias finally came back and we played our music. It was easy music that went by really fast, so we probably played everything twice. But it was lots of fun.

One thing I noticed during the evening was that every person that stopped and talked to us during breaks in the songs had a beer/other alcoholic beverage in his/her hand.

We had a great time.

On the way home we got Chick-fil-A, some of the best fast food ever.

When we got home, we found out that the cats got out. So we had to go out and look for them. All we really needed to do was open the door, because they all just ran right back inside.
