Today was very very bad. Got back a bad lab grade in Geology but recovered quickly. Brittany and Whitney just don't know when to quit with me. Don't you hate it when people make fun of you without being obvious about it? Chamber Choir was fun. We listened to the Christmas music we're doing and I almost died with happiness. We're doing a gorgeous version of Silent Night in Concert Choir and even more gorgeous version of The Coventry Carol in Chamber Choir. I can barely contain my excitement. Government was okay. We're doing our Senate simulation and I'm playing a newly elected Republican (yikes). Most of the people over there were totally and completely rude to Christin, who was our majority floor leader and got all the committees organized. The other committees are going to fall apart. Jessica tried to help Christin out, but no one was listening. Lunch sucked. Hard. I stood in line the entire period and had to listen to Cassie tell someone about the problems she's having with her mom. I didn't get to eat lunch. So when I got to Concert Choir I asked Mr. Calloway if I could just go eat right then, and he said I could try. So I ate and went back to class and we talked about the same old things. In English we laughed a lot at a scene performed out of Macbeth. Plus just other boringness. Work sucked even harder than lunch. First of all, the kids were bad and Ms. Alison was on Ms. Pam's back the whole time today. Plus, she told me a parent called and complained about the fact that our area is out of control. Okay, you know what? I know that. We're trying. But the only time you're going to see that is when we have the little kids because Ms. Pam is a pushover and I'm not much better. I know who might've said it too. it might've been Ms. Darlene, this parent who was hired to help out Marilyn in HER area. Instead, she comes over and yells at kids in our area when they're out of control. Excuse me, but we can handle that. Marilyn will tell me if there's something going on and I don't see it, but leaves it up to me. But no, Ms. Darlene comes over and deals with it herself. I have a big problem with that. I also have a problem with the fact that Ms. Darlene (or whoever it was) doesn't have the balls to approach me and say something. It's my area, and if I'm not working up to standard, it should be your duty as a parent to tell us how and why we suck so we can improve upon it. Don't call my boss and tell her so she has to tell me on the most horrid day I've had in week so that I'm walking away with my eyes filling with tears. Okay? So after Ms. Alison left, Jackie and Ms. Maryellen made me feel a lot better about it. Jackie said that if it's worth addressing, it's addressed. They also told me not to look at them as angels because they get it as bad as I do before I ever show up. Ms. Maryellen also said that if she sees anything that, to her, is a problem, she'll come up and tell it to me, because that's who she is, and that if she hasn't said anything to me yet, it should be an indication as to how I'm really doing. So basically, today sucked. I'm leaving it behind. Tomorrow is another day and I can go about like it never happened. I might be hearing from a parent tomorrow, but I'll be mighty well-prepared. I'm not down with a lot of stuff that happened today. I hate October.
