Today Was and Was Not My Day
The title says it all.
It all started with math class.
I remember that in Panama, when president Ricardo Martinelli was running in his elections, one of his mottos was:
"Entran limpios y salen millionarios."
What that means is enter with no money and come out with a real big batch of it!
Well here is my motto for Math class:
"Entran inspirados, y salen no inspirados."
What that means is come in inspired and ready to learn, and come out wanting to never step foot into that classroom ever again. I feel like Math is a fun class, if my grades were better.
So today. What happened. When we take notes in class, I get some participation points but my notes end up looking horrible, so I end up throwing them away a week later. This weekend, my Dad gave me a notebook for doing my Algebra in, so I wanted to not waste a single page on it!
I make these really good notes and I ask my math teacher if I can borrow a graphing calculatour for the homework.
"Well, did you partcipate today?"
"No but-"
"You didn't. Plus your grade is an F in this class. So if you did partcipate and get your act together, I would let you, but no. For once Kt, this is reality!"
When he said that to me, two of the most popular people were right there! I felt humiliated!
My next class was Language Arts and my acquiantance Jarrell made an are you ok face? I tried to make the best smile possible but it didn't work.
I told him and he was like "that must suck."
"Yeah. But I will get better."
The funny thing that happened today was this:
How the Conversation With Social Studies Started
1. Happened by Mr. Horton mentioning Jimmy Buffet.
2. Mia's flip flop?
3. Mr. Horton told a story about throwing up contents.
4. Lydia told a story about amusement parks.
5. Mariah told a story about a subsitute teacher.
6. Mr. Horton told a story about a broken leg.
7. Rebecca told a story about the ignored pain.
7. I told my story about Pineapples. then Daniel told a story about his brother throwing up on something.
9. Mariah told a story about:
-Her and her sister
-Her sister at a basketball game
10. Mr. Horton told a story.
11.Lydia told her story.
12. Myles questioned what would happen if someone threw up on a trampoline and asked if the throwup would start bouncing up and down too.
13. I told a story about my science teacher and the tsunami.
14. Valerie told a million other funny stories.
15. I asked how this started, but before that, we had a poll on who felt as if their educational time was being burdened and I was the only one who had their hand up. Everyone laughed. I screamed "it was a mistake!"
16. I wrote this down and ignored the rest of this conversation.
