   DANCE TONITE!
Yay! Tonight is the last dance of the school year and I'm so excited! ^_^ I love going to the dances. Today is kind of screwy because we didn't follow the regular lesson plan due to Shadow Day.
Well, for the first part of the day, the fifth graders were paired up with the sixth graders.(us) There are only 70 something fifth graders, and ninety-six sixth graders, so not every one got a Shadow, obviously. I didn't. So I just told a made-up story to them about Mr. Gordon, my homeroom and Social Studies teacher. I said:
"I had a friend name Billy once. He was my VERY BEST friend. Do you know what happened to him? Well, he never did any of of work for Mr. Gordon, so one day, Mr. Gordon ate Billy! The violence, the blood spray, the gore, the bones! *sobs* We never saw him again..." The kids were all, yeah right. I looked over to Mr. Gordon and asked, "Right you ate Billy because he never did his homework?" He said he did, and we all started laughing. All we really did for Shadow Day is explain the steps of Knighthood, (since we're the Cohen Knights ^__^) and explain what each and every single class was about.
After lunch, we went to the auditorium to finish "Radio." I though it was cute! But pretty sad too.
Then we all went back to homeroom and played Mum Koosh. I don't know if any of you have played that or not.... It's where we sit in a cricle on the top of our desk and through a Koosh to people across and to the side of us and stuff with out talking. You can't talk or you're out. You can't drop the Koosh (you know, those things Rosie O'Donnel used to through at people in the audience. :D) or you're out, and you also can't make sucky throws or you're out. It's pretty fun.
Then we went to clean our lockers out. Mine was already clean since I did it yesterday. I found a sock in it! ^_^
Then, last but certainly not least, the Last Honors Assembly of the Year. I was on the Civic Honor Roll list like four times, and also on one for good grades list. You see, we get these stamps in our agenda on the sheilds for each marking period for doing extrememly nice things. I never get noticed for the things I do, and I don't try to stand out befcause I didn't think it was all that big of a deal. Sure you get a Coin of the Realm, as cool as that sounds, but I didn't think it was worth it. Untill today. See, if you have four stamps on each sheild in for all of the marking periods, you get Knighted, according to your grade. If you're in sixth, you become a Paige. If you're in seventh, you become a Squire, and in eight, you become a full-fledged Knight. I know it sounds easy to do, but it's really not. You have to be SUPER good, or you won't get noticed. Well, as for the Knighting Ceremony, the people who are called go down to the stage and are knighted by The Queen of the Realm, our principal. There's a fanfare and everything! She taps you with her sword on both of your shoulders and gives you a medal. It kicks ass! Ricky was Knighted. ^___^
One thing I'm peeved with however, is the fact that people gave recognition to the Salvation Army. You may think that they are as nice and kind and helpful as they say they are, but they aren't, I'll rest you assured! THEY DON'T DO CRAP, DAMMIT! People gave me dirty looks when I said that, but they don't know! I do! Before I moved up here, I was as poor as DIRT! My house was dirty, I was constantly sick, my grandmother didn't have a job because no bastards would hire her, I hated life, my grandmother had heart problems, we couldn't afford things, and we DID NOT HAVE A CENT. I am absolutely serious about this. Our water had been cut off. Our lights and electricity had been cut off, and we had NO FOOD. And more importantly, no damn way to cook it. We needed to eat ang get help, so we went to those ass-wipes, Salvation Army and explained our problems. They didn't even try to help! THEY DIDN'T! They gave us A BAG OF BEANS THAT HAD TO BE COOKED. How the fuck do you eat beans that have be cooked when you don't have any damn electriciy?!?!?! You can't, assholes! So, in short the Salvation Army is freaking scam, and you should not donate to them, because they don't really help you.
Much Love,
Shadow Wolf.
PS: If I hadn't moved up with my mom, I would have probably taken my life. I hated life. I couldn't take it anymore. But I thought that if I held on, everything would be all right. And it was.
