Monday

Yesterday was Monday. Lovely.

Yesterday, in our second school Spirit Week, it was Movie Monday. I was dressed as a Jedi.

Can you believe that hardly anybody could guess who I was?

Rodney said, "You're a wizard." NO
One of my other friends said, "You're a monk." NO
Some dude in my history class said, "You're Harry Potter." Do you see a wand in my hand? NO
Some people didn't even get it when I showed them my lightsaber.
Someone even thought I was Darth Vader. No, Darth Vader has a mask. No mask on my face.

The day before Adjudication. Mrs. Crockett was occupied with administrative Adjudication stuff, so what we did was we rehearsed without her. And without the piano. And we sounded pretty good. I mean, except for the Altos, who either do not think that what we do is music (I mean it, I've heard someone say, "When I'm not singing this, when I'm singing, you know, real music..."), are only sitting in the Alto section because it's the back row (some of them really sound like Sopranos.), or really have a lot of difficultly with remembering their part or saying the Latin words. My friend Ashleigh had trouble with this. I can't blame them for that.

I received a project in Biology. We finally got to evolution and taxonomy! Yes! Animals and such and Carl Linnaeus! That's my favorite! So we have to make a poster and presentation that demonstrates mastery of the subject. I joined forces with my drummer friend and our poster is about arthropods, specifically insects. So there's a ginormous beetle in the middle of the poster. My drummer friend can draw, too. Lovely. I hate bugs, and I was psyched! It's all so awesome! When they evolved. How they evolved their wings. Did you know that an insect's wings may have originally evolved as a means to help the insect body absorb heat and later became a tool for flight? Did you know that wings are not a modified appendage but an extension of the cuticle? That way insects can fly without sacrificing walking legs, as opposed to birds and bats, whose wings are modified appendages and they are quite clumsy on the ground. See? It's awesome! Insects don't have lungs, you know. I don't remember exactly what they have. I'll tell you tomorrow.

A lovely Monday, and despite Mrs. Crockett shouting at us, we did pretty good at Adjudication. So did Glee Club. New entry time!
