Whoosh

Like so many of my previous titles, I have no idea what today's signifies.

When I got home after Musical practice today, I stepped in the door, threw down my backpack, and remarked, "what a great day." I haven't said something like that in I don't know how long. A year, two? three? four? I feel great. Today all the gears linked up. I woke up a little late this morning. I did not want to go to school at all, I was that tired. I packed my lunch for my lunch detention and headed off to school. Once there, I dropped off my sax, etc. etc. First hour went well. We watched a great video about the falling of the Berlin wall. I felt a surge of emotion rush through my body as hundreds of thousands of people protested, danced, and tried to escape East Berlin. I remember very little about the fall of the wall, just a couple of still images in my head and of course, images of Mikhail Gorbachev, whose country-sized birthmark caught my eye. Physics was fantastic, too. I got all the right answers to the questions on the practice sheet. Study hall went well as well. I got more done than I had planned on. Then it was onto English class, where the class corrected its multiple choice tests, which I was fairly confident about. Surely enough, I scored a 20/26, absolutely fantastic!!

Lunch detention was medicore. The sandwich meat, cheese, and yogurt was a little warm, but all my friends at my table waved to me from the commons below, which was at least funny. A lot of other well-wishers came and waved / taunted me from outside the SSRC. It's very antithetical, I think that I should have lunch restrictions.

Band went pretty well. Jerome and I practiced our duet for most of the hour. Choir was less good, but I enjoy the songs we are singing, so that helps. I had a decent time in Spanish, too. I got my project done very early, which always brightens my day. Calculus proceeded to meet my expectations. I got a more solid grasp on the topic we were covering. Always a plus. Musical practice was short - only until 5:30pm. All my solo's went well. I had a good time goofing off with people (Taryn, Meghan, Seth, Jerome, etc.). At 6:15 I am meeting Jerome, Kathleen, and Joel at Red Robbin for Dinner. It should be a fun night! That is except for the fact that I have a pretty sizable load of homework to do. Oh well! I'll make do.
