Assembly Day

Greetings Earthlings,

OK, the title today only states one part of today. The assembly part. But the assembly impacted my whole day, and not completely for the better. But, don't worry, it didn't all suck. I did have a shorter math and science class. Unfortunately, this also means my English class was shorter.

In English, all we had time to do was rearrange seats and read half a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt. I thought it was pretty cool how Eleanor married her 5th cousin, but some of the more girly girls found it disgusting.

The assembly was for an "organization" called ACE. I personally think this ACE is just some strange marketing scheme. But, hey, anything to shorten Pre-Algebra can't be that bad, can it?

Social Studies wasn't bad. Well, it wasn't great, but like I said, it wasn't bad. See, we have a test tomorrow so we had to partner up and study. I ended up paired with Ryan. So, we had a few differences in our papers and most of the time, Ryan was the one who made the mistake. But one time there was a multiple choice question with a map above it. The choices were A) Sicily; B) Carthage; C) Alexandria; D) Portugal. The question was something like this: Which of the above was a main trading port in north Egypt. Egypt was labeled. Somehow I picked Carthage over Alexandria. Ryan said right before he answered the question he thought to himself: "This is so easy. Nobody will get this wrong." Hi Ryan, I'm Nobody

OK, usually I don't talk about the bus rides to and from my house. Usually it's real annoying because the only somewhat interesting conversations the 8th graders have about awkward conversations. Yes, awkward is the right word. But today Shawn, a 6th grader had glitter covering him. He didn't know how on Earth he got the glitter on him. I had an idea to get the glitter off. He needed long nails (which he doesn't have) to scrape the glitter off. Because I have longish nails and I came up with the idea, I had to scratch it off. Not my best bus memory, I almost scratched his eye out. Sorry Shawn.
