It's been a while since I last posted, so let me catch up on some stuff...
Well, bad news first: The last game I played at for pep band was NOT the game that decided if we got to go to the playoffs. It turns out that was last Thursday, and the sad part: we DIDN'T WIN THAT ONE!
Oh well. At least there's still basketball season coming up, right?
Okay, with that negative junk out of the way, here's something cool:
I'm selling Ring Pops for a fundraiser in Band, and while I got off to a slow start, business suddenly got booming, and I believe I'm on my 3rd bag now (each bag has 10 Pops, 75 cents each).
Oh crud, another bad point: the first day I was selling, I had to squeeze through a group of black kids in the hallway (there's a lot of them at Foss), one of which I remember as one of my fellow T.A.s in Special Ed P.E. last year. I asked if she wanted a Ring Pop, and after she said no, this big black guy who was with them, at least a head taller than me, said he wanted one. I told him he needed 75 cents, but he wouldn't pay the price, so he snatched the bag out of my hand and ran down the hallway with it. His group and I chased him down, and he only got to a corner about 30 yards away. I told one of the assistant principals about it, but unfortunately I didn't have the guy's name, so he got off on that one. Scumbag.
Okay, done with the negative, back to the positive.
Currently in Junior English, I'm reading the literary classic "Animal Farm", by George Orwell. Funny, I actually read it two years ago in Freshman English. But my reading must have improved since then, because I'm having a much easier time reading it now than I did back then. I think I remember just dragging myself through the book 2 years ago, but this time I'm actually enjoying it!
It was an interesting week in Chemistry, too. On Wednesday, we got to turn copper pennies silver, and then GOLD. I wanted to do it again on Thursday, but instead we got something out of the book.
Something very COMPLICATED...
We learned about electron configuration for an atom of an element. Did you know that Argon, which has an atomic number of 18, has an electron configuration of S1 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P6 (I think...)? Did you even care? If you didn't, I don't blame you. Ble-ECH. Even Dad was totally lost (though he didn't take Chemistry back when he was in high school).
I've gotten into something Kaylee got into a long time ago: watching movies on my laptop. I've watched quite a few movies again recently: I watched the movies "Arachnophobia" and "Beetlejuice" on the night before Halloween and Halloween morning, respectively, then watched "The Emperor's New Groove", "The Sandlot", and "The Karate Kid" all from Thursday afternoon to this morning.
Oh my gosh, I forgot to talk about Halloween! D:
I didn't think much about my costume for Halloween during that week leading into it, due to school and trying to complete the "Rodney and Jim" for last Sunday, so I just went wearing my "Will Scare for Candy" shirt and wore a paper bag over my head with eye holes. Everyone at the Halloween church activity thought it was awesome, but I couldn't keep the bag on forever, because a.) It would be hard to eat all of that chili we were having for dinner, and b.) I was starting to have breathing trouble after a while.
All right, that's pretty much everything. Oh, and I'm taking a vacation from "Rodney and Jim" for this week and possibly next week as well, just so you know.
