Well, after two months, Dessert Theatre is finally over. It was so depressing yesterday - all of the seniors were leaving and that was their last production at CHS. I felt so bad for Tim, Jesse, and Sarah, they looked so sad. At least the last performance that we did on Saturday was the best one we’d ever done. Best part of the show: when Mark bit off several stuffed animal’s tails and sent stuffing flying everywhere. A more unpleasant part was when I decided to take a bit (well, more like three) out of a banana that we had been using for over a week as a prop and was by that point quite brown, on stage. I could still taste it when I got home at 12:30.

I’m sorry, but my health teacher really cannot be forgiven any longer. Yesterday she showed us her knowledge of health insurance by talking about how IBM and Proctor and Gamble will make you pay less for insurance if you don’t smoke. Wait a minute, IBM is going to do what? A few weeks ago we were instructed to read a section in our health books. Point of interest: a “Myth/Fact” table which listed muscle turning into fat in an inactive person as a myth. Now I quote from that same day, “And that’s why it’s so important to exercise regularly - that muscle’s going to turn into fat”. “But Ms. Midolo, our book said it didn’t!”. “No, no, it really does turn into fat”.

The school year is winding down, and I started that weeks ago. Worst case scenario, I’m out of there in 11 actual days. But all of the seniors are leaving! This can’t happen, don’t make them go! Besides, what do I have to look forward to this summer? Summer English journals, summer PE, summer heat, summer crap! The way I see it, summer is like the weekend. Regardless of whether you’ve done your homework or not, you still have school very soon. Thursday however is a wonderful day. Intro and health are tomorrow, so there is rarely much homework to do, so it’s like a weekend without the impending school week. But the year can’t be over, it must not end! It must not end…

michael strickland!

ms. midolo is an imbecile. the whole open-note test thing is crap and she has no idea what she’s doing. she argues points with nikki for the entire class period that she’s already lost after the first few minutes of conversation. idiot. we start taking her test tomorrow.
