Middle Sates, HERE WE COME!

This week Middle Sates has been here to look at our school to see if we qualify for awesomeship.
What does are school do to prove we're worthy? We do what we do best of course! BOMB SCARES!
This week we had two of them. One on, I think, Tuesday during 4th period (one of my free periods) So we stand out on the turf for 40 minutes and are extremely disappointed when they say that we can go back inside.
Today, Friday, it happens again. It's 7th period, math, and we're taking a test. It's about 10 -15 minutes into class and all of a sudden the guy comes on and says "Blah blah blah, please go to the turf, blah blah blah, evacuate." So my teacher say alright leave your test on your desk and go to the turf. I bring my bag, and not my binders, and start heading down. We all make it to the turf and sit in our assigned spot. (Academic Circles - don't ask.) I stand there for about 30 minutes and then I go find friends.
Two periods go by (each period is about 40 minutes) and during that they say that we're going home. Now that would be more exciting if it wasn't 10 minutes before we would usually get home, but whatever.
It takes FOREVER for the buses to get to the school, which is really weird because they should have already been there for the usual pick up.
They call out the bus numbers one at a time, very slowly. It sounds like we're playing bingo and luckily I won near the beginning of the game.
We aren't allowed back into the school, so I have no books with me.
Sooooo I HAVE NO HOMEWORK!
I got home later than I usually do. And it's going to take a while before the bro and sisters get home.

ALL AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELED

I just wanted to say that I got to your blog by clicking one of the books I have on my profile to see who else liked that book, and you came up. You sound like an interesting person who is similar to me in many ways. I just wonder if you would like to pay my blog a visit, just to say hi.

Glad to know that the Academic Circles are used for something. I was never clear on those when they tried to explain them at parent orientation.

The red on green/gray words at the bottom are burned on my retinas.

I really like that story. It seems like one of those times when it wasn't so funny to be there, but it sounds pretty funny afterwards.
