I began the day with TV Broadcasting. First Mrs. Meany wanted to prevent herself and me from getting in trouble again by having me hastily go to the office to address my detention skipping (which I thought was about my leaving for third and fourth block the previous day, but I guess they didn't catch that... yet). When I handed her my note, Colleen got a tone with me about gym and I proceeded to argue with her (in a fairly amiable way) about my deserving to pass 11th grade gym. I am certainly writing [to whom it may concern] a letter about this. I guess Sortisio's substitute (Todorof) is gone now, too bad, he was nice. Now this guy whose name begins with C is there. He fits the VP bill all right, his feeble attempt at intimidation slithered out moments into our conversation.
I see you skipped my detention.
I'll give you "your detention". If the administration must claim detentions as a possession it would be Todorof's detention. But I digress. Ultimately, I was given an additional 3:30 for this. How long will it take the adminimess to discover me skipped classes? I give them till tomorrow. But maybe my next skipping** will have thrown them off a it more. On my way out of the office, Mr. Meany came striding through the foyer, plastered on his grin; his tool equivilent to feeling like he has power; a cry for a larger member perhaps, and belted out a little sarcasm.
Jared! We missed you in math the other day!
To which I responded with a "heh". My versitile comfort word, if you will. Luckily he spotted someone from the good ol' boys club he needed to shoot the shit with right then so I kept going back to the TV studio. It was time to commence the homecoming interviews, Donny on camera, me with the mic and the pretty face.
Donny and I wandered the halls, interviewed two people and otherwise goofed around with the camera. We'll certainly have some catching up to do, and I definitely want to amend our take on the homecoming day feature; it needs a unique catch but school rules limit creativity. Yet who wants to see the same shit over and over again? I'll find a happy medium.
After TV I had gym. I was a lil' Kloned up so my locker was giving me trouble. Recor got me the combo though (yet it was the one I was entering) and it worked. The Klon also made me fail to realize that when we were running on the track we were running for a time, so I stopped to chat with Nick, Sarah, Aaron, Walter and whoever else on the way around. When I finished Recor was surprised I took so long, because I'm usually a quick runner. When he gave me my time, I was a little shocked and said that I didn't know we were getting timed. Recor evidently did not think before responding.
What, did you think we had you running for your health?
I responded to this with a smile and he laughed, realizing that I probabaly was under that impression. Back in the wrestling room I managed to to the max amount of crunches allotted by the workout CD (80 of them) whilst my partner, Walter, made it to like 24. In the weight room I managed to hold myself on the pull-up bar military style for 59 seconds, and I had everyone cheering, hoping I'd reach a minute. Which is hard to do if you're naive to the pull up bar. I did about the third or fourth best in the class. Which is a lot better than my terrible attempt at military pull-ups the class before, I only did about three.
In the locker room I polled Walter on whether I should skip Math**. He said do it. In the gym I polled Sarah and she said don't do it. My temptation got the best of me and I found myself outside calling Big-O for a pickup. Although this security guard was eyeballing me so I hid behind someone's SUV. With that I acquired some granules after meeting with Audry, and after getting coffee with O went back to the hell hole. I gave a fucking awesome presentation in English though. I rocked those kids, they know it. I met up with Nate and we went to see Mrs. Neubeck to get some passes from detention. We talked with her about clubs and activities, and she called mrs. Glavey for me to ask her about this 'Discussion Club' they'd printed in a letter sent home. It was a misprint and it turns out to be a model UN, but that's chill with me; I'll join. I thought Nate wouldn't want to but he said he would with me, as long as it doesn't conflict with his Tuesday band practices. Cool Mrs. Neubeck stayed with us till 3:30, even though she was going to leave at 2:40. We discussed colleges, and pharmocology. It was cool. I want to visit her often.
But anyway, Grandpa picked me up and we went driving right then and there. It was a nice day. In the end I went to eat at Louie's with Mom and Grandma. It was a very nice day.
