Today was my first offical B day of the semester, woohoo!

AP English was all right. We had an essay on Heart of Darkness, we had to look at a quote and explain how it has a theme that runs throughout the whole book, and use it to describe Joseph Conrad’s syntax throughout the book. I didn’t know what the hell to do at first, I just looked at the paper and wanted to just walk out of the classroom. I gave in, though, and eventually made up a pretty decent essay. I have to read a short storty by George Orwell and place it in retrospect to Heart of Darkness, and also do my character development paper on Okonkwo from Things Fall Apart.

Chinese was…all right. We celebrated the Chinese New Year, like every year for the past four years, but this year we did it with the Spanish students. I was absent for the picking of who-does-what, so I luckily didn’t need to worry about anything. We all were broken up into groups and made our sweet and sour chicken. All you need to do is one egg, crack it into a small bowl and whip it up, take about one raw chicken breat and cut up the meat into little pieces. Drunk all the chicken into the egg, then put the chicekn into flour. After getting them all flour’d up, put them back in the egg and then finally into breading. Deep fry and you’re set to go. Everyone in the Spanish commented how laoshi is crazy, which she is. I can’t believe I have had four years of her and not thrown myself out of a window.

Government and Politics…I already hate the class. I’d have to say I am one of the only people who are an extreme leftist in my class. We have a KMA kid in our class who I already butt heads with. I yelled a lot…kids said a lot of absurd things. For once I agreed with Stewart, or we both shared the same ideas in places. Jorge and John agreed with me on things, and Cazandra just got scared by my yelling. At one point I was standing and yelling (because everyone else was talking, and the person wasn’t even looking at me when I addressed them.) I’m going to need duct tape in that class. The most hilarious thing though was when I said I was a Libertarian Socialist, that confused Mrs. Anderson. People also think that saying you’re a political radical is labeling to another philosophical group.

Newspaper was the same as normal. I worked with Krystal on the Entertainment layout, found some press kit images, and yeah. I’m going to work with Krystal and this other newspaper staff member Mel on The Pulse’s website.

Work sucked. I didn’t want to work because I still feel kind of sick, plus I’m just feeling lazy. We weren’t all that busy, well not until 5:30. Usually that’s when we get a rush, or around 6:30. It went pretty smooth, I got out around 8:15, but then I checked my phone and found out I had to make a sandwich for my dad. Mark also called, he wanted to hangout. I called him back and we decided that tomarrow we (Brian, Mark, Jeff, and I) should all hang out again, like during the summer. The call was cut short because I couldn’t find my keys. I ended up breaking into my own truck and unlocking the door to open it and inspect my car to only find them stuck on my belt. Wow.

Well I went to school today, I almost didn’t want to, but if I didn’t that would have ruined other altercations. I printed off some stuff for Dil for the Criminal Minds press kit, so I needed to drop that off after school. Then I was, and did, going to meet up with Jenna, she’s from Racine.

Geo was actually very fun. Mr. Azmus busted out some jokes about his sister, he also sympathized with us about Senioritis. He said the last month, I think, we pretty much watch movies and the “pornography would have to be cut short.” I had fun in the class, I usually always do.

We didn’t have gathering, which would have been cool except we had a presentation instead. We recieved our order forms to recieve or caps and gowns for graduation, plus the invites. I, personally, think the invites SUCK and they’re over priced. I can easily make up something better for a lot cheaper.

In Art all we did was start printing off our game boards, I didn’t, because I didn’t feel like sitting with my arm in the air waiting to recieve his never arriving attention. I just sat and talked with everyone…for an hour and a half.

Math was all right. It was the first class without Amelia, it was a lot quiter and not as exciting with her antics, but the same. Another junior, Donna, came in her place; Donna seems cool.

Economics…that class will be interesting. Today was a good start to it. We talked about those who are content, and those who are wanters. I got to speak my mind :)

Jenna is really cool. We walked around the mall, many times, for about an hour just talking. She’s pretty, and fun to talk to. We talked about the different music scenes and such. I dunno, I had fun.

Well the site’s messed up again, I don’t get why..but whatever I hope it fixes itself.

I’m home sick, I’m sick of being sick. I slept today, but just now was woken up by the jibber jabber of subtle spanish. The dry wallers are back, it’s a company run by a family of mexicans. I didn’t quite know what was going on because I didn’t understand what they were saying, plus I was groggy, so I was pissed.

Man…I don’t know what to do now that I am home sick.

Yeah, It’s Me.

I can’t sleep. Slept too much to get unsick.

7 more months in this area WI.

I need to find a way to make an impact.

Well the site was down because the main harddrive on the server (one of six, which this one was one) reached 100% capacity. Site’s were running fine else where that were hosted, but all WordPress blogs errored in the same way, but atleas they’re working now.

Hm, what did I do friday night. Nothing! It snowed like crazy, we got about a foot of snow, maybe a few inches less. It ruined my night, and to make it even better I got sick that same night. All week I had been feeling pretty crappy, but it got worse.

I slept in all saturday, my head was clogged, I was coughing, it was nasty. I had to work at 4, really didn’t want to. I couldn’t call in because the only person who would be working is Colleen and I didn’t want to get Abi and Sergio pissed. Work was nice and easy though, not a lot of customers, if I had to go in back because of my cough I could easily.

I came home and pretty much just crashed out. Today, sunday, was a day of sleep and relaxing. I want to get unsick and fast.

I couldn’t sit at home all day, so around 6:30 I went to Jeff’s to hang with Jeff, Brian, and Cliff. We watched some Family Guy, dicked around. Tomarrow is Jeff’s birthday, but we had cake and icecream today.

Brian had to get home at 9, I volunteered to take him home since he had no other way. I ended up going over by Common Grounds to hang with Rachel.

I did some work for Luke for his new project ProfileRanks.com. He needed it so that users could select different banners and such, so I added that feature.

Now I am doing some work for Jake, making a site for his new band Passive.
