Chapter 9: Week 11

Wednesday 4/25/12 : Wednesday started fantastically well as I was able to sleep in till 9 which was great. Not having to go to theatre and put up with all that nonsense in there can make any day good. Math class was pretty pointless I grasped the new section with ease and got out of class 10 minutes early. While walking to my car I walked past the culinary arts school and an African American woman had just left the building and was walking in front of me. Without knowing I or anyone else was behind her she started saying stuff fairly loud. The rest goes as follows... "I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN!!" as soon as I heard this I began to chuckle and sped up and got right next to her and said, "yeah they lied it's not raining" and her response was "YEAH I AINT TRIPPIN I KNEW THEY SAID THAT!" and without her being able to see the grin on my face at how funny she sounded I responded by saying, "yeah it's really hot today." I thought the conversation would be over but the best was yet to come... her response was "YEAH I GOT THESE THICK GYM SOCKS ON! AH MAN!" she babbled on some more but I couldn't make out what she said and I distanced myself from her. This outrageous lady and her funny lines brightened my day and I went to English in a good mood.

Expecting to get our essays back graded... finally... I sat in down in class and waited anxiously. He started class by saying, "I have some good news and bad news, which do you want first?" We all answered bad news and he told us he had yet to finish grading our essays (we turned in the essays March 28th). Now because he felt bad for us not getting our essays back on time, he then said we did not have time to take our midterm. This whole school year, I've had a grand total of ONE midterm. However, this gets better. Not only were we not going to have a midterm, he was going to give everyone 100% on it which counts for 5% of our entire grade. This is totally unheard of and I was stoked. 

Thursday 4/26/12 : Thursdays are always pretty lame, usually because I wake up at 6:30 to go to the weight room and then have philosophy immediately after. Well weight room was once again canceled and I got to school at the regular time of 7:45. Walking to philosophy I was lucky enough to be behind a group of three people. Yes... that girl is wearing overalls. I had no idea people still wore those, let alone in college. It seems like every week there is some new fashion statement and I highly doubt anything tops this. But yeah, the overalls, backpack on one shoulder, slip on vans and light blue socks is pretty sexy... unfortunately I did not get her number but who knows maybe next time! 

Chapter 8: Week 9

Wednesday 4/11/12 : The week started off well, probably due to the extra Monday we had off. It is quite amazing how much better the week is when you don't have school on Monday. I urge you guys just take one Monday off and you will notice a difference. Well Wednesday started and I went to theatre to deal with el gordo himself (the theatre teacher). We had a quiz on Oedipus which was a complete joke because I had already read it in high school so that was an easy 25 out of 25. I did not pay attention the rest of class because it is a waste of time.
Before I move on to my next class let me tell you about a new way I have come up with of entertaining myself. I time myself to and from school. Please do not assume that I am breaking a large amount of traffic codes because I am a good kid I would never do such a thing. Well anyways it gives me a reason to go to school because it becomes fun trying to beat previous "course records". I set a new course record right off the bat Wednesday with a time of 7:07.6 going to school... not too shabby. Leaving theatre I timed it perfectly and made it home in an amazing 7:01.7... if soccer doesn't work out look for me in NASCAR.
Math has been pretty boring lately as we have been learning Matrices, which are a huge pain the butt. We received our tests from the previous section and I am happy to say I am sitting nicely with an 88% in the class. Sometimes I worry about that class because the teacher is really bad and puts questions on the test that we have never seen before... oh well that's Harbor for you.
Already in a good mood thanks to that nice grade report I asked myself could my day get any better? Well at English we were bound to get our essays back and I was kind of nervous about my grade. Low and behold, we did not get our essays back because our teacher had strep throat all spring break so he never got around to grading them. Before class started a counselor came in and began talking to us about some silly fair he was putting on. Little did he know he had already talked to our class about the same thing but he went on anyways. This guy is a total goon and overly enthusiastic. There's that old saying, "take a chill pill"... well maybe he should take one. Half way through his presentation he asked if anyone had heard him speak because he has been to a lot of classes and our teacher responded saying, "yeah man you've already done this in here". This was really funny and he was totally embarrassed and I actually got the conversation on tape (just the sound).

Thursday 4/12/12 : I went to Philosophy at 8 am. I was so anxious to see what I got on my test, because I was pretty sure I got a perfect score or something close to it. Why am I so confident? Well the teacher accidentally posted the first 29 answers online so all I had to find out were the remaining 11 questions... pretty easy. Well I ended up getting a perfect score which brought my lowly average of 71% in the class to a 78% which is a really nice cushion to have. When I arrived in class however I noticed a girl with a lovely and trendy, if you will, fashion statement. Now Harbor has had some good fashion statements but I don't think anything tops this... Here we go

This African American female in my philosophy class was wearing large gold earrings that took up much of her ear lobe. She also had a nice nose piercing, one of those little hoops a la Michael Jordan. Attached to the earring was a gold chain.............. which was also attached to the nose ring so the chain dangled and times and then when in a seated position it would hang across her face. Why would someone wear that? I have no clue but it was the icing on the cake of another great week at Harbor College..... I believe in miracles where you from you sexy thing sexy thing you.....
