3rd Moon of Earth Chronicles: Simple And Clean

Hiya!

I'm drowning in pressure from my fellow swimmers/coach. How can they even be so sure that I'll final? I honestly don't think I'm capable of it. And even if I did final, I like TAME more than swim meets. So what if it's an honor to be a freshman going to regionals? So what if I'm giving up the chance to letter? Man, that hurts, but I need to keep telling myself that or I'll lose my resolve. Even my own mother doesn't understand. She doesn't understand how after these past 8 years of swimming just for an oppurtunity like this I can so easily give it up. Plus, there's always the chance I'll final, but go to TAME anyway and not get picked to go to state. Especially when there's kids like George and Jessica competing against you. But ideally, all three of us will get to go (which would probably mean I'd be sharing a room with Jessica like at Mathcounts).
Gracie's doing TAME this year too. Oh jeez. I really, really hope she isn't disappointed. (It's not my fault I'm better than she is in math. She's better in English. If only she could remember that sometimes.)

So tomorrow the field trip in theatre.
Then the meet on Friday.
Then TAME on Saturday morning.
Then on Saturday evening, I'll be attending a performance of the Sandie Revue (Jessica persuaded me to go since I'll be gone on Friday.) I asked Gracie if she wanted to go too, but she was uninterested. Anyone want to go with me? Tickets are $6.

Swimming is going to be really short tomorrow. We start at 6:30 and get out no later than 7:15 (and probably earlier than that!). This is crazy.

This scanner of mine is dumb. It is sssooooooooooo slow!! I can't even get anything done!

Why is it that homosexuality comes into conversations at school every day? Sure, it's kinda become expected during our lunch conversations, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about just the random people in class. In theatre, a group was performing one of their lazzi in which two guys tried to balance these long sticks in their hands and this girl pretended to be walking the tight rope. One of the guys was really good and the other wasn't. The one who wasn't said, "I see you're much better at holding a stick than I am" and the whole class burst out into laughter.

In science I guess it was sort of expected today, but Sam and Mike are just way too perverted.
Speaking of science, my wife got to be my wife. That was great. It was also great how there were 3 kids. (I thought our menage a trois wasn't due until late May or June or something like that.)

I got the list of movies we can watch for this 6 weeks outside activity in theatre. Interestingly, we have all but one of the movies on the list (not hard to believe).

My iPod is good now.

Geometry test today. Spanish test tomorrow. Biology test to makeup on Monday. World Geography test on Monday.

Hey. We got progress reports today. I keep forgetting that.

I get to be a wolf named Scrapefoot the Brave in Heather's novel. That's pretty awesome.

Okay. Here's something interesting. Often I leave money in my pockets (usually only a dollar or so), and it goes through the wash. Many times I have found this money and thought, "cool!". But then I forget about it again and the pants go to the laundry again. So today I found $15 dollars in my pocket. So I bought a directory from Heather Holmes. Then cousin Heather needed some money to get a ticket to the Sandie Revue, so I paid for it. Then Jessica came to me trying to get me to buy a ticket to the Saturday performance and I gave her the remaining $10 (she's going to give me my change tomorrow). Ah, what providence!

I have the feeling I forgot something...Oh well. I better get to work now.
