School on Thursday, Oct. 29

School was horifically dumb today. I fail to realize why I bother to report to school on half days. First, I go to connections, another word for classes whose purpose is solely to add time to the day. My first connections class is Tech Lab, a class in which you are supposed to do "modules" on certain technology subjects, such as lasers, or digital photography. This sounds fun. Truth is, it would be, if any of the modules had the required equipment. Which they don't. I am currently in the Aerodynamics module. It bores me to the point where my brain feels numb. Today, however, our Tech lab teacher was not there, so we watched Simba star in "The Lion King". Then, I went to P.E. This may sound pitiful, but P.E. is usually the highlight of my day. Usually we do a fitness unit about every month, although it is only required twice a semester. But, when we actually do do normal P.E. activities, it is actually fun. Today, we jogged and then went into the gym to play basketball. I have to admit, I was balling pretty hard. I sunk two shots, had about 2 steals and 1 airball. But that's not important. After my connections classes were over, I went to my language arts class. My teacher is actually very nice and humorous, but sadly, her personality does not effect the boring nature of the class. For one thing, my classes contain few interesting people, so there are not many to chat with. As for the class, I have never really cared for grammar or language arts. I especially hate long packets on assigned novels. Well, today, we did just that: Endless grammar workbook pages and then a long packet on To Kill a Mockingbird. It was extremely dull. Then I moved on to Georgia Studies. I am usually quite fond of history, so this is a class I actually like. Today was especially good, because we were allowed to watch The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. I enjoyed the taming of British redcoats for 75 minutes, and then moved on to Science, in which we only had 15 minutes because of the half day. Then came dismissal. I went to my respective bus, and began the ride home.
