I have a test in chemistry tomorrow over the Periodic table of elements.
Apparently I think blogging about today is more important than studying. This is a problem.
...Just spent the past half hour doing online review games. Now I don't feel so bad.
Today was onw of those days that had the potential to be really really disasterous...but, by pure chance, it didn't end up that way. I love it when that happens. Sadly it doesn't happen all the time.
I was pretty much screwed for homework this morning, as I had nothing but English done, and I have no time in any of my classes to finish other homework...so...yeah. Same story as usual.
We got our new book assignments for English. Thank God. We're finally done with Heart of Darkness. If I ever hear those three words uttered in close context with one another again...heads are gonna roll.
So I got out of English. (I'm actually kind of glad that my desk is at the back corner of the classroom. That means I'm usually the first one out when the bell rings.) We weren't thirty seconds into passing when the lights went out. No power. 2300 kids in the hallways. Oh, man. But, as the civilized person I try to be, I made my way through the crowded, now dark, hallways out to the portables to Calc. All the way, I'd heard speculations as to how and why the power went out...since it wasn't even windy out. Not even a fall, maritime breeze to rustle the bronze leaves along the walkway. My math teacher thought it was a suicidal squirrel who jumped from the power lines that run to our school. Apparently that actually happened a few years ago.
So we did calculus in the semi-dark. Which wasn't too bad, since we normally have the lights off to see stuff our teacher is putting up on the projector screen. Plus we had windows. So we're sitting there...turning in homework. Except me. I didn't turn in my homework. Or at least the assignment that was due today. Because it wasn't done. I turned in the assignment that was due Tuesday, when I was absent. I wish this assignment was assigned on Tuesday instead of last Thursday, but I digress...So I'm sitting in the back corner of the classroom (again, except I chose this spot; I have no choice in English) freaking out because this would have been my ONLY missing assignment in math, and I have a 92.99% in the class. Don't judge.
Class goes on as usual. One kid tried to sharpen his pencil with the electric sharpener while the power was still out. We did review problems for our test on Monday. The power came back on about halfway through class. We went to lunch, came back to class, and finished our test review. In the last few minutes of class, my teacher announced that, regardless of it you turned in your assignment, she was giving full credit to everyone on this homework assignment. The assignment that I had been unable to finish. Heck yes.
A similar thing happened in my next class as well. Didn't finish my homework. My teacher wasn't there. Finished my homework (plus the homework that's due the next time as well) while we watched a movie on Mt. Vesuvius.
And then I come home and have almost no homework. Aside from studying for the chemistry test. This happens quite often. I don't especially care for this academic schyzophrenia. It makes my eyes cross. And my head hurt.
Homecoming game tomorrow night. Should be lots of fun. Hard to believe I only have one football game left after tomorrow night. Yikes.
