brokenrecordToday was Emma's 16th birthday, so happy birthday to her. I got her Clue and we played it during office hours. It was actually rather amusing, because we were going into the practice room, and Mrs. Bentley was all "Oh no, Parsa asked if he could practice in here during office hours. ...hey, is that Clue? I love Clue! You guys can play it in my office!" And it totally sounded like the only reason she was letting us play in there was because of her love for Clue.
Pride and Prejudice essay a week from today, and I'm starting to freak out. Especially since our intro/thesis has to be all more... better? We went into it during class a lot and how to make it less simplistic and such but I seriously doubt my abilities to do a good job on this essay, even though I really enjoy and understand (at least I think I do) the book. Also, I really suck at quote tests, and we've been having quote tests on each volume 1 of Pride and Prejudice. The first volume I read twice and got 11/15 on it. eck. But I aced the one on volume 2 (which I read three times), so at least there's that. Also, we're totally watching the 6 hour BBC version of Pride and Prejudice over winter break, and I cannot wait, because it's going to be awesome.
No Veronica Mars today makes me sad. :(
Yesterday Mr. Ives (my Euro teacher) was lecturing on causes of the French revolution and he started talking about the debt and stuff and then he started relating it to the US today, and so he then he said "And, well, ok, I don't know if you guys know who Ronald Reagan was..." and the whole class was like "...wtf?!" Because, yeah, we just had AP US History last year and it went up to current events (although after Reagan, there wasn't much to be said. But we still went up that far, and we did go into Reagan pretty well), and even ignoring that, I'VE KNOWN WHO RONALD REAGAN WAS SINCE I WAS LIKE 5. Why do you insist on treating us like we are 3 years old, Mr. Ives?
This is kind of a random post, but I felt like updating. I am so looking forward to break. 6 more schooldays left!
