Actually, today was rather uneventful for the first time in quite awhile, it seems. In Thatcher’s class we were getting into little groups for an insanely huge 245 point project, and this girl who is so annoying (comes in class 25 out of 50 minutes late into class every day, taking two classes, failing both, has some job, doesn’t care about anything) comes up to Emily, Lana and me and asks if she can join our group (translation: “can I get credit for your guys’ work?”). I said, “no, we’d rather keep it as just us three this time.” Ahhh Emily and Lana were so relieved, but at the same time Emily said, “oh that’s so mean! I’d feel bad if it was me.” Noo, Emily, do you want her in our group? “No, but…” Thank you. “Yeh. I’m glad you did it to it’s just…” Lana: “All right, so back to our project…”

Math and journalism were both rather uneventful; in journalism we seniors were going to come up with story ideas for May issue Entertainment, Feature, and Opinion, but it didn’t really happen. Well, we came up with a few, but it was more goofing off than anything. Well, at least it sounded like the juniors were being productive in the other room.

Jenn told me that she and Jessica were acting as Managing Editors this month. Good job, you two! That’s what I did April issue last year, too—Managing Editor, I mean.Though I think in some ways being a section editor (e.g. News, Sports, Feature) is more fun than being in the management, because you get freedom to draw up pages and be creative. You two will see what I mean. But I think for Jenn and Jessica, though it seems like a lot, will actually have a lot of fun this issue, because they both get their own sections and get to be in management, too. How cool is that??

In AP English Jessie and I were so getting silly. I hope we didn’t annoy anyone too much, because we spent most the time drawing little cartoons in my copy of Heart of Darkness and silently laughing at our own cleverness. So now my Heart of Darkness resembles Harry Potter and Ron Weasley’s copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Tasha called this evening, so we did a lot of girl talk. I love doing that. I read some Crime and Punishment earlier this afternoon, too, and later on did some math and English (errk). But that’s good~

If there’s one thing in this world I can’t stand watching, it’s watching the act of eating. Be it an animal or human, consuming food is in my opinion one of the more disgusting aspects of biological acts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definately no anarexic, and I enjoy eating myself, it’s just watching others that vexes me. I guess it’s just the act of taking a perfectly good piece of nourishment, chomping it up, getting it all over fingers, the face, etc., and then swallowing it. Then when you think about what the excess nourishment will become, on the other end of that mouth…

I especially hate watching pure gluttony. If anything, that’s probably the worst thing anyone can do. When you think about all those people starving to death on account of not eating, and those who feast and eat until they burst, then throw away the remainder of the meal…:sighs: Disgusting.

Ironically, I try to help fight against starvation. You can too, visit The Hunger Site every day (just bookmark it or something)~
