Cheering Up
It’s strange the things that cheer me up.
I was having a borderline crappy day to begin with. Firstly I didn’t get enough sleep so getting up and dragging myself to the bus stop was pretty low on my list of things I wanted to do just then. When it came, the bus was packed but Alex saved me a seat so that made up for my lack of sleep. When I got to school I finished (started and finished) my chem lab and homework in English class.
Then came the climax of my crap day: so I got to social and sat down, already annoyed and extremely bored, having just come from English. Twenty minutes into the class I was very uncomfortable so I decided to shift in my seat. But something was not right! And by not right I mean that my butt was stuck to the chair. Yes, my friends. Some stupid retarded kid in first period social thought it would be a good idea to leave a huge wad of gum right there. In an effort not to sabotage my social final by missing the whole remainder of the class, I sat there ’till the bell. So I tried to pry the gum off a bit during the class break but I still arrived late to art, where there were flecks of styrofoam dried into my and Kim’s painting because grade tens can’t clean up their messes! Arrrggg!
Overall I was not in a good mood in the duration of the first double chemistry period. I fell asleep a couple of times because I seem not to care much about electrochemistry. Things picked up later on when I talked to Mark a bit between the double, and then we got to do a titration lab in the second class. Titrations are not that exciting normally, but this year I’m part of the freaking Titration Dream Team—Lesley, Laura, Natashka and me. Two trials and we got the exact same number both times. Rockin’. And during the lab, John decided to make a swimming pool out of Lesley’s pre-lab report using the distilled water bottle. It wouldn’t have been so funny except that she couldn’t care less about it at this point. (Three weeks from today, we’ll be done chemistry for good.) Ah, but the best was washing our hands at the conclusion of the lab. Using Sunlight dish soap as always, Lesley and I decorated the air with bubbles. Yes, bubbles cheer me up at times like this. I’m just that simple-minded.
Everything went well after that. I went home. The end.
