Club Day!

Thursday, October 25th 2007, Wake up time: 6:50am


I grabbed myself some left over pizza for lunch. My first lesson of the day was drama. We kept rehearsing this party scene. It may seem we were over-rehearsing, but remember half of our lessons were spent chatting before we ever got started! In my maths lesson we spent the time doing graphs. 


For literature, we did a webquest...no idea what that is! We had a substitute teacher in psychology, so we didn't get much work done before lunch! Lunch was the delicious left over pizza and a cool drink of milk. I didn't actually have a full fifth lesson as it was club day! We had about half of our fifth lesson taken up to go down and see all the different clubs that the school offered and boy were there a lot! Each club wanted people to sign up and had posters or pamphlets on why you should join their club. I was already a member of GSA...I did sign up to a couple of other clubs that looked interesting, but I didn't commit to them though. I did get quite a lot of free snacks and cakes from each club though!


My fifth lesson was gym, so I had a short work out session with Julian before heading off to history. We studied something called the Boxer Rebellion. It was a revolt in China and something happened, not sure what as I can't be bothered to read up on it! At least I gave you a name! It was a Thursday, so after class I went to GSA. I got more free food! :D We hung out and had a discussion about gay rights. We also played a game called Zah! to warm us up. Zah is a game where you stand in a circle...you pass the 'energy' to the right or left or across the circle. You can block it to send it the other way and if you go the wrong way or don't say it quick enough...you're out! Yeah,  I hate it too. ;) 


I headed home, but not before stopping in Sweet Sues! Julia and Talia were hanging out, so I chatted with them and it wasn't long before Alex, Jeremy, Luke and some others came in and joined us. I didn't stay too long as I had to get home to dinner. Once I got home, I did some maths homework before running outside. Why? There was a stunt plane spelling "Go!" in the sky...pretty cool! 


Dinner was a lovely mix of chilli, pork, vegetables and corn bread! I love corn bread, it's one of the few things that aren't really available in England. Just like root beer, it's amazing! After dinner it was time for the second Red Sox game! It was a lot closer...but Red Sox pulled through again, winning by 2 runs to 1. As you can tell, not a very interesting game! However, I got to see the excellent form of Jonathan Pabelbon who is a relief pitcher for the Sox. This means he pitches in the last innings, just to end the game quickly. He's wicked fast, but this means he gets tired too quickly to pitch all game. See? ;) He's also a hero of mine because he did this cool dance when they won the Series...which you'll see in the appropriate post! 


Thanks for listening.
