Nov. 3rd, 2004 05:24 pmToday, I found out that Bush won, which sucks. Therefore it's also a minus.
Then I had to rake for an hour. That sucks also. Of course, I did get to not rake for an hour. We had a leaf-jumping competition. First was me, Maria the Magnificent; then my sister, Angela the something or other; then my brother, John Paul the Pope; then me, Maria the Master of Jumps, Twists, and Turns; then my sister, Angela the something; and finally me, as Artemis Fowl. I walked to the leaves, took a tiny, abysmally small hop, and fell. Granted, Arty wouldn't be in a leaf-jumping contest in the first place, but it was amusing. My mom got the Pope and my sister's first jump on video (and we have a great hulking thing of a video recorder. You actually have to put videos in it.) My brother and I took turns being announcers, judges, and other people. It was really amusing. We decided on outrageous point stuff (like if you had leaves in your hair, you got extra points), and we decided one of our judges was a drunk idiot, and we escorted the judge from the field. My brother did a great job as the Pope, and my sister's second jump was really amusing. First, we had a (staged) controversy over whether or not she went out of bounds, and then she went crazy and sat on me. I had to call security. My voice still hurts from being the announcer. So in the activity of leaf raking, a plus and a minus.
Nobody stole my books today. That's a plus.
Tomorrow I need to go in early to finish my lit test. That's a minus.
I finished translating the eighth paragraph of Eragon. A plus.
I remembered my piano stuff (which I haven't remembered for the first months of school). A plus.
I've got a rough draft to finish. A minus.
I need to finish my math, and we have a math test tomorrow. A minus.
I feel cold and sick and hungry, though that might be because a) I'm wearing a t-shirt, b) I ate too much candy, or c) I'm having dinner in about 24 minutes. A minus.
We're going on a day-long field trip Friday, and we have TWO BUSSES. A plus.
Let's add up my day: Negative 1. I had a mildly bad day. Fun.
Thought for the day: If you miss coming in to finish a literature test, don't feel bad if your teacher doesn't let you come in at a different date.
