Never Get Attached

Today my English teacher told the class that she was going to be leaving very soon.

Last year my first English teacher was pregnant and was going to leave in about three months. She left, and the next teacher came in. She was here for about four and a half months. Then she left because she wouldn't be able to work at our school next year and she got a better job in the city. So teacher number three comes in and teaches for the rest of the year.

Evaluation: Overall year was actually pretty good. No homework. At all.
1. She was okay. She was a little boring, and had a mushy gushy mind. (Due to baby in belly?)
2. My least favorite. She was way too into the creativity stuff. Draw this, draw that. And the one book that we did read while she was teaching us was Fahrenheit 451. We didn't even finish the book because every single day we debated about television.
Don't get me wrong, I love to debate, but she was very bad at understanding. Not much depth. (Harsh?)
3. My favorite. She was down to earth, understood our situation, and was lenient because we had a "rough year".

Now this year my first teacher was pregnant and stayed for about three months. She then left and my current teacher comes in. She now says that she is leaving because she won't be able to teach here next year, so she can get a better job someplace else.

Evaluation: Not as good as last year.
1. Crazy. (I have English first period.) Way too loud and obnoxious. And is obsessed about dehumanization. Grades critical lens essays by how you define the quote. Crazy.
2. Better. She is a better first period teacher and understands my point of view. Grades critical lens essays by how you support your definition of the quote. (The correct way.)

Unbelievable.

Sorry!

Alrighty. Let'sa go!!
-At this very moment I am in the library and there is a group a small children. I'm a little freaked out. They're taking up all the tables.
-As most of you know we got a baby corn snake a while ago. I'm trying to get a picture so there will be one soon. And we have chosen a name for the snake: Fiona.
-Out of the few times Fiona has egested/excreted, twice it has been on Mom.
-I just recently finished writing a research paper for social studies. The whole thing (title page, bibliography, actual paper, etc.) is (I think) 13 pages. It made me want to cry. It's 40% of my third quarter grade. Joy.
-There's this pretty cool website that has SAT practice questions. So you all have fun with that.
-IF ANYONE DOESN'T ALREADY HAVE TICKETS TO THE PASTA DINNER ASK ME!
-Okay. Now I know what the kids are doing in the library. They wrote books and the high school students are illustrating for them.
-We're going to start Of Mice and Men very soon in English.
-List of my classes in order of awesomeness. Greatest to least.
  • Science (What can be more fun than learning about LIFE?! And I have the BEST teacher in the world)
  • Math (I'm sorry, but I LOVE proofs.)
  • Social Studies (It's fine. My teacher does this thing where he makes the history sound more story like so that's good. But now we're going to start learning about the industrial revolution and WWI. And I think WWI is one of the most boring wars ever. But I did learn about it in 8th grade with the worst teacher ever. We'll see.)
  • English (Depressing. I have it first period and nobody is awake, but I don't think it would make much difference.)
  • Spanish (Boring teacher. Poorly made quizzes.)

Chorus is somewhere in there. My teacher is pretty cool, but my classmates are obnoxious.
-I think I'm allergic to spring.
-Abstract "art" is NOT art.
-I just sneezed.

Finally a Smarty Pants

I'm going to be in Honors Chemistry next year. I finally get into one. I've actually turned down two other honors classes: English and global studies.
Interesting.
Whoops

My life depends on the sweets!

For Tuesday night activities I think the young women are going to make THE BEST cookies EVER.
They're called... ALFAJORES. They are the most delicious cookies ever. I could eat them everyday. I can't describe how the taste because I can't remember. All I remember is that they are the best thing ever invented.
I probably won't share.
