Wednesday, 3 February 2010 07:28 amAnd we have another day! \o/ (Yeah, I'm not actually that happy about it. Well, except that today's Wednesday and so school doesn't start until 8:30.)
Monday I thought AVID would suck. Yesterday I realised that I have two days a week where I don't have anything to do after lunch, and I have realised the full awesomeness of that. ...also, I need to find something to do for the hour and a half that I'm not going to be spending in class. Today I think I might just drag my history book to fourth and work on IDs, since there are six due on Friday and another fourteen due on Monday. |:
This morning I decided that I'm thankful for my family, who get my Star Trek jokes, my friends, who get all my other jokes, and my school, much as I don't act like it, because I fully believe that it's the best in the district and everyone else just hasn't realised it yet. I'm thankful for Mr Williams, who cares so intensely about his students, even if he spends half his time yelling at them, and because he got me to understand maths. I'm thankful for Mme Qadir, who makes learning French really awesome, and I hope that the rest of her pregnancy goes well and that she ends up with a healthy baby girl. I'm thankful for Ms. Santillan, even though I don't do homework for her class half the time, because I used to hate US history, and now I think it's kind of interesting (even though I still don't like it). I'm thankful for Ms. Waller, because she's supremely cool and chill, and because she makes me look forward to English every day I have it (even if we do have pop essays). I'm thankful for our library, even if they don't seem to have the series that I really want to read right now, because they've got about a billion other things that I want to read, including Sandman comics which is just totally amazing and which I didn't even figure out until last week.
I'm sure I could come up with more people and/or things that I'm thankful for if I thought about it. I think it's important to be thankful for something every day, and maybe even to tell the people you're thankful for that you think that way, because if you never tell them then you might never get the chance.
In other news, the rate of pregnancy-related deaths has apparently tripled since... some time. Probably like 2000 or something. (I wasn't really paying attention to the news, can you tell?) And it's apparently safer to deliver in Bosnia than it is in California. I can't be the only one who thinks there's something wrong with that.
