Another early day today.. if we keep getting these nice sunny days, I might actually be able to keep coming to school early on a regular basis! Now wouldn't that be surprising?? Came in before everyone but Fred again.. It's so weird being one of the first people in, many of the other people in the department weren't in either, but a couple were.
Oh yeah, found out my mark in Spec yesterday.. got a 93. I think I can settle with that.
Added a little thing about Honeywhite.. in the Homepages section..
And here's a quote that Magnifica used in response to the Littleton Massacre..
"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go."
Not exactly uplifting, but hey, I'm not in an uplifting kinda mood.
A wasp and a fly got trapped in my room last night. They might have come in when I had opened my window yesterday, but I didn't notice them till this morning. Freaked weirDo out when I pointed it out to him after he had sat down next to it..
"Oh yeah, I saw th.. OH MY GOD!"
It seems as if he only noticed the fly before..
I eventually caught the wasp and let it go in the cardboard recycling bin. The fly on the other hand.. well, it was lucky too. I opened up the window and let it go. It was a little surprising. Usually I just kill it outright, giving me much needed fly killing practice, but today.. watching it bump and grind against the glass, trying desperately to escape the invisible prison that it had condemned itself to.. It reminded me much of our own bungling attempts at living.. trying to come to grips with the lives that we have, always trying to reach our goal.. to be truly free, truly happy..
It's pretty sad when you start comparing your life with that of a fly.
While I was working away, I started to notice.. a sort of a rumble in the background, and as time passed, it became more like a babbling, of many individual voices, each with their own individual clarity, made incomprehensible by the sheer number of voices. Eventually it became so loud that it was near impossible to think properly, and I went out to investigate. Well, when I made it to the hall, I was greeted by a HUGE mob of kids. Maybe grade 4 or 5.. pretty young to be hanging around here. I figured it was some trip or something, and some of the kids were making cracks like
"So this is where they do REAL science."
Boy. Anyway, after going to pick up mail, I came back and snaked my way through the mob, greeting them as I passed.
"Hello."
For which I would always get a "Hello" in response. Then it became a "Hello" game.. and then I ducked back into the side hall.
Enough about that, I picked up a Campus Rec booklet to see what sort of offerings they were gonna have this summer, and I was shocked to see that there was no Figure Skating or Advanced Power Skating being offered!! Wah!! Oh well, it just means I'll have more time to do other things, like learning to play Squash and Tennis.. (which means borrowing HaremPresident's racquets, but he doesn't use them so that's okay).
I'll have to remember to finish my poster tomorrow, even though our printer is still gone.. that and talk to Renee, to see how she's doing.
I've been thinking, should I give up? I mean.. even if something does happen, I'll be done soon. There's no guarantee that I'll stay, and it's not like I want to spend the rest of my life here. It's really bothering me. It's times like these that I really need to talk to someone.. and ironically, one of these someones who I'd really like to talk to, is the same someone I can't talk to about the stuff I want to talk about. Pathetic.
I need to skate tomorrow. I'll try to remember.
