Playing my Cards (Another School day)

Today was like any other day but for fun I'll go through all of my classes from today.

I start in the morning. I get out of bed at 6:10. Some days I get up at 5:45 to take a shower (like every other day). Despite Audra taking an extra long time in the bathroom it was just like any other morning.

Advisory/Homeroom: When I got to school my feet were completely frozen from walking and it took almost all of Advisory to get them warmed up. My advisory teacher is Mrs. Hakewill. She nice I guess. We really don't do much. I mostly just talk with my friend Jared. Today however was reading day so I couldn't talk much.


Social Studies: We are doing a project on a person influenced American history. I'm doing General George S. Patton with my friends Sam W., Jared, and Eric. Today we did a little research for the project and the kid next to me was amazed by the fact that I could copy the whole screen by using the "Print Screen" button.

This is where it is. I actually used Print Screen to make this picture.

Health: This is supposed to be a family friendly blog so I'll skip telling you about this class.

Art: I originally took this class to get some high school credit but now I think that it wasn't worth it. The teacher is really weird and always seems to make our artwork worse by telling us to do things that aren't necessary. We all got excited only to later be disappointed when we thought she was going to be fired when she asked a girl if she was doing drugs. The girl got mad and complained to the principle.

French: I thought last year that this would be a fun class but I was horribly wrong. French is extremely boring. Yesterday and today, the sun was shinning just right through the window so I entertained my self by making shadows with my hand. Yesterday, Sam H. who sits in front of me stuck out a sheet of paper to make it clearer and Melissa, Sam H. and I all started laughing really hard.
A few weeks ago I said to Sam H. wouldn't it be cool if we learned kswahili in french class. He took me seriously and asked the teacher who said no. He always takes me seriously like when I said we could try to get our Art teacher fired again (joking) by saying that she put down a students work. (That is sort of true, it's just a little exaggerated.) He did it and complain to the principle only to get a detention. I really wasn't meaning for him to do it. Anyway, Sam H. has begging the teacher if we could learn Kswahili for weeks in til finally today he taught a the word Mbwa which means dog. I think he did it just to get him to stop begging.

Math: We did what we do everyday pretty much. We did our test review for the test tomorrow.

Earth science: We are doing a lab where we see the effect of erosion on rocks and my partner, David and I, and Sam W.'s partner Christina were competing to see who could get our rock the most eroded. Christina's probably the least involved in this. So far my Partner and I are ahead of them.

Lunch: Lately, the people who sit at our table, Jared, Eric, Sam W., Jacob, Alex, and me have all been combining our lunches and then picking from the pile. It makes our lunches a lot more interesting.

Earth science: Some days we have Earth science twice but it was mostly just a continuation of the last Earth science.

English: We went over our practice New York State ELA test. I usually don't like these tests cause the questions are usually poor.

I then stayed after to work on my Social Studies project with Jared, Eric, and Sam W. in the earth science.

My (school) Day

Homeroom: Mr. Steedman- Today was reading day so I read what I have to read for an English project. I don't much like reading days in Homeroom.

Period 1: Science, Mrs. Knapp- Took notes on the endocrine system. Not very exciting. Then we did a worksheet for review. Apparently Mrs. Knapp had forgotten the packets we were suppose to do then. It's funny, how come we as students get in trouble when we forget things, but when a teacher does, not so much. I guess this is an exception because our teacher has a broken foot.

Period 2: Health, Mrs. Ellis- BORING. Health is extremely dull. We do nothing but learn about how we shouldn't do drugs and how we're supposed to keep our body healthy. Today we basically just watched a movie on some guy who made the right decision in choosing not to do cocaine.

Period 3: Math, Mrs. Whitney- We once again sat in the same seats as we have been sitting in all year. All the students really want a seat change. I'm kind of tired of sitting in back of a kid name Justin, who's nice and all, but when it comes time to pass back papers. He always holds the papers out towards me, but as soon as I'm about to grab it he jerks the papers away. This process continues until the rest of my row gets irritated because they haven't received their papers yet.

Period 4: Art, Mr. Steedman- I finally finished my clay sculpture of a gumball machine. Meanwhile the kid next to me was having a lot of difficulty rolling out his clay. Once again Melissa found some way to be mad at me. Today I guess she found to reasons. First, I had put to much dry clay in our table's slip bowl and second, I accidentally spilled dirty water on to the table that she had just clean because another kid named Tyler accidental knocked the bowl out of my hand.

Period 5: Electronic Music, Mr. Crystal- We learned about dimentation(is that spell right) today. I found out that Jared broke his arm. I think he discovered it because he broke my foot in gym class earlier this year. JK LOL. I put on of my songs into a really cool sequence so it sounds almost like a real song.

Period 6: Lunch, the lunch ladies- I had a pretty small lunch today. I'm starting to get annoyed of Sam's little "jokes" he plays on me. Today he brought me over to the vending machine and ask what I wanted. I replied "Thanks man, I guess I'll have some goldfish." He put the money into the machine and ordered something different. Apparently he only wanted to know what I wanted.

Period 7: Social studies, Mrs. Mariano- We took a test to day and got sit where ever we wanted. Melissa sat behind me. I was a little scared that she would shake my chair like she always does but she promised me that she would not shake my chair and she said that it would be bad for her brown, cowboy boots that she was wearing. The test was easy. I finished fairly early into class. As soon as I was finished I pulled out a piece of paper to draw on. I wasn't sure what to draw but remarkably I noticed that my chair was shaking. I took the piece of paper that I was going to draw on and wrote on the paper "You promised." I then set it on her desk. No reply, she just kept shaking. Finally I took the piece of paper back and drew a big fat arrow pointing to the text and set it back on her desk. No reply, she just kept shaking. I took the piece of paper back a wrote on the paper "I thought you didn't want to ruin those boots" and I set it back on her desk. She took the paper and wrote something in yellow highlighter about how she was missing her pink. I was confused at this and drew a question mark next to that text. I then wrote "I feel like I'm sitting on top of a washing machine. I bet even Brittney (who was sitting in front of me) can feel your shaking." She wrote underneath "Poor Brittney, I bet if you took your feet off her basket she wouldn't feel anything." When I read this I tried so hard not to laugh. It was so funny. It probably doesn't seem funny to those who are reading this but it seemed funny then. I bet the whole time I was being shaked, Brittany thought I was the one the one shaking her.

Period 8: English, Mrs. Gerstner- We talked about a community read that we are going to read. I never really ever liked community reads. They are really boring. Then Mrs. Gerstner passed papers to the people in each row who were suppose to hand them back to the person behind them. And the person in back of them would pass them to the person in back of them and so on. I again it that class am assined to sit in back of Justin. He again gave me troubles. I decided to just lunge at the papers and get them. That way I wouldn't have to wait until he got bored of his little game. I did just that except Mrs. Gerstner saw me. She glared at me and told me " I'm sure if you were mature enough to just ask him nicely for the papers he would give them to you." I turned and grinned at him and said "Sure you would Justin."

Period 9: French, Mrs. White- Mrs. White has really mad today because her last class was really bad. Apparently one girl in her last class broke another girls pencil because she was poking her. Mrs. White got mad and sent them to the office. She is always complaining about that class.

The end- For now.

Broken

Today I went to the orthapedist and it turns out that it really is broken. Three of my meditarsul bones are broken. The doctors at the emergency room mistaked my breaks for growth plates. Now Jared can feel even worse about what happened to me.

Today is my is Audra's Birthday. I keep telling her that she should post on her blog about it. However she still won't listen.

Day overview

Day of the week: Monday

Ups: Telling people that I got hit by a bus when they asked about my foot.

Downs: It was hard to get people to carry my books for me, hard to open doors, hard to get to class on time, catching up on things I missed, being tired,

Neutral: Started new schedule, watched Ratatouille during lunch.

Overall rating out of ten: 3

Word rating: Bad Day

Extra notes: It was hard to carry books around. Mom said that it would be easy to find people. Jared, Sam, Kayla, seemed to be the only people who volunteered to help. Unfortunately those few people weren't in many of my classes. All other people that helped me I had to ask.

It is very exhausting walking on crutches. By the time afternoon came I was so tired I felt as if I could have taken a nap. When you walk on crutches you go extremely slow. Trying to make it to class on time is definitely an issue.

One period I had no one to carry my folders to socials studies. I basically had to limp to class.

An almost break

In gym class we were doing sumo. We were trying to push our opponent out of the ring. Jared and I decided to be partners. The first time we did it, it was fine. I was quick to act and easily pushed Jared out of the ring. The second time however, wasn't so great. Jared pushed me almost to the edge. I tried twisting him around and tried forcing him to step out of the ring first. Instead my elbow hit the ground first. While we fell out of the ring, Jared fell on my left foot. It hurt incredibly bad. I was wincing in pain and rolling on the ground. I think I know now how football players feel when they get injured on the football field.

My Gym teacher then called the nurse, while I waited outside. It seemed to take forever for her to come. Eventually my gym teacher just wheeled me down in a roley chair. From the nurse's office I went to dad's work since mom currently was out of town discussing matters about grad school. My foot was swelling up and it hurt to put any pressure on it.

After watching Toy Story 2, (basically the only thing they had) I went to Sam's house. Sam unfortunately was not there because he was at all county orchestra. Sam has currently broken a toe. Please do not think I was trying to copy him. Sam's dad is a surgeon who took a look at my foot. He recommended it be X-rayed.

We then took my sisters home and went off to the emergency room. It didn't take long to wait for a doctor to take the X-ray or for the doctors to wheel me off to a room. It was then the time we had to wait. My mother and I passed the time away by taking pictures of my foot. Kind of weird I guess. The doctor kind of walked in at an awkward time. I don't think we left a very good impression. I mean, who takes pictures of feet?

It turns out that there was no break but a lot of strain on my foot or in other words it was almost broken. They gave me a soft cast and some crutches. Honestly I think I look ridiculous with crutches. Crutches are extremely annoying and this cast is really painful. I really want to move my ankle around but this cast doesn't let me. Moral of the story "Fear the sumo"!!!!
