Casablanca

Monday, October 29th 2007, Wake up time: 7:05am 


I got ready too quickly, as I was already kind of late! I rushed to school, very hungry due to lack of breakfast! I spent the morning learning about the Spanish American War in history and then playing with calculators in maths. That isn't as fun as it sounds, I meant we really learnt how to use them to do certain equations! The calculators had a cool feature though, they had a list and facts about each American President! Why? Who knows?


In American literature we were peer assessing our essay, after which I had psychology. I talked to Ben, who told me he was taking tomorrow off for the Red Sox World Series Parade...I really hoped I'd be able to go! I felt pretty good after having some lunch and then having a really intense work out session in Gym class! My last lesson was film where we began watching the film 'Casablanca', a very popular film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman (who I always confuse with the name Ingmar Bergman who is a very famous director...) No relation though!


I went to Sweet Sue's briefly before heading off for rehearsal. It went very well, and Rosalie and I had a lot of fun talking about the game last night, she loves Papelbon so much! Which reminds me... here's a video of him dancing after the World Series game!  Jonathon Papelbon Dance

I headed home, stopping at Sweet Sue's to hang out for a little while with Julia and Cecille. I walked home with Cecille, and on arriving home I had a lovely meal of hot dogs with some healthy salad on the side ;) I talked to Bev about the parade and she said she already was planning to let me go! She thought it would be an experience I couldn't miss! I was very excited. I called Ben to let him know and planned to meet up with him at Alewife so we could both go to the parade. I also called Hannie, and we planned to meet but that never happened...I can't remember why! I'll have pictures from the parade tomorrow ;)


It was, as you know, close to Halloween. It's a much bigger event in America and everyone dresses up for school! I wasn't able to go trick or treating (which I've never done anyway) as I was too old, but I did plan something to be for Halloween. Most people came as famous people and spoofed them...so I chose Al Pacino as Scarface! Clearly a traditional Halloween costume! I talked to Ralph about borrowing a suit and I was going to get some face paints tomorrow for the 'scar'. I was quite excited! I ended the evening by getting my chores done by cleaning up the kitchen and the dishes, I went to bed early so I'd wake up refreshed for a, hopefully excellent, Red Sox parade to celebrate their World Series victory.


Thanks for listening.
