I’ve attempted to start entries for this many times this week. I just did not seem to have time, energy, or patience for it all. It’s been an active week, I suppose.
I had a 4 day weekend from the 15th to the 18th. I spent the first two days working, as I always do on every Saturday and Sunday. Sunday went better then most, though I found out some unhappy news. Tobin, the manager of Food Lion, whom I really liked, was transferee to a Culpeper Food Lion. Tobin was very passive on a lot of things; I heard people had said he was too comfy with the workers. I don’t understand why they would move him; he had the most profit to expenses than any other store around. Maybe he’ll come back. Hopefully. My ass will probably get fired sooner or later, with someone more strict running everything.
The other 2 days of my 4 day weekend was spent working on my room. I successfully bought $90 worth of stuff from Target. It is making my room look better, non-the-less.
I also was able to construct a layout idea. If I can find enough pictures for it, it just might make it up to finally retire this FDR-like layout. I’ve said that many times before. Hopefully I can actually follow through.
On Tuesday, we had a nice dusting of snow here. It happened late in the morning, and lasted until about mid afternoon, and it gave a lovely show. It looked pretty. I was hoping that I would not have to go to school the next day, since it was the start of a new semester and all.
First period, I was stuck with the class called Algebra 1, part 2. This was the intelligent solution thought up by my guidance counselor to fix my problem with math. I did pass Algebra 1, but I got straight F’s in Algebra 2. I am still swearing it’s was the teacher’s fault, but they don’t put those explanations in my grade records. At least I can stand the teacher. She seems cool.
Second period I have Computer Accounting, which is ironically in the same time slot that I had Accounting last semester. At least I wont be out of rhythm, or whatever. But that also means I have a 18 more weeks to deal with Mr. Harner. He is a nice guy, but he honestly is not bright, as most seriously religious people are.
It just to happens that my Computer Accounting class is located in the same room where I had first period last six weeks. And I remember, about a month and a 1/2 before the class ended, the tech people at the school spent a good afternoon hooking all the computers up to the internet. When Mr. Harner gets the room, he sees the bright yellow and grey cords for the internet, since they are really the only cords that have to travel above the desks. He said they made him “nervous.” So he spent an hour and a 1/2 unhooking all of them. I don’t know, that pissed me off. Maybe it’s because I 1/2 wanted to be on the internet, but also because of the effort put into putting them in not too long ago. They had to buy new cords in order to hook up that room. It’s wasted money. I don’t think he should be allowed to do that; if a student even changes a screen savor on a computer, they could be kicked out of the class. Shouldn’t the same apply to a teacher who is not apart of the technical support of the school?
Though my classes are not of best taste, I like my lunch. This time I had lunch A, and I also have good friends in there. So I wont be standing on some imaginary island by myself eating my food. It’s good.
3rd period, I have my old, faithful teacher, Mr. Dahl. He used to teach Multi Media, until a newer class replaced it. I had been wondering what they would stick him with… And when I saw it, I was really disgusted. As usual, I am pretty much the only girl in this room. It’s hidden way back in a deep hallway, and there’s lots of twists and turns to get to it. It’s painted with cheesy pictures done by art classes of the past. I guess that was the room where they practiced their art work, because it was really horrible. The computers are at least 3 years old, and all dusty, with pieces here and parts there. It was horrible. And from listening to my fellow students, it should be interesting: most or all of them were going on and on about fucking girls, and comparing how long they had been expelled that year. I can’t remember who won.
When someone says “Tech Foundations,” doesn’t someone think of computers, or learning the basis of computer technology? No. Mr. Dahl ran off about how we would be making things like little cars to see which ones would glide the farthest, and shit like that. Doing “some drafting.” What the hell? I love Mr. Dahl to death; he kicks ass. But I do not think his class is something I would like to pursue. I’ll give it a week.
4th is a good class to have at the end of the day. It’s Consumer Math. Meaning, we have whole chapters devoted to “buying clothes,” or “making good decisions.” Easy.
And today… I got to stay home from school on a “snow day.” We got about 4 1/2 inches of snow. But by the afternoon, it was probably barley an inch left, in the deep areas. I’m talking to my friend Sandy, and she’s going on and on about how she wants to stay home again tomorrow, or something. But I think we’ll be lucky to get a 2 hour delay in the morning.
