The Monday Blues Controversy
I decided to call this entry what I did because today, Monday September 18, 2006, was a definite mix of good and bad. It started off pretty awesome because I had just burned a new favorite songs CD the night before, so I didn't have to listen to the same stuff I always do on my CD player during the bus ride.
Then our bus had to pass a construction site, which made me rather late for Orchestra. I hate being tardy for any class, ever! Not only that, but we had to take a playing test today that I hadn't even practiced for!
Then there was the problem that I didn't have the required sheets in math class because I assumed that we didn't need them anymore and forgot to bring them into class. Mrs. Buck said that if I could find them by tomorrow, I would get all the points, which once again shows just how understanding she is!
Things got a little better in Learning Stratagies, though. I somehow managed before class to find the math sheets buried in my backpack and turn them in for Mrs. Buck to see! Yes!
Gifted class was part fun and part disappointment. I was planning on downloading some music onto itunes in order to use it for my project, but the computer lab was already being used for SRI testing. Bummer! But then I got to draw pictures on my storyboard with markers, so it wasn't too bad. (Downloading music would have been more fun, though!)
I didn't like history class very much. We got a totally new seating chart, and I was forced to sit next to Ben Rosemann, an insane maniac who loves to annoy everybody, especially me! Shortly afterward I also found out that we were going to Cahokia Mounds later this month on a field trip, and I hated it when we went there in third grade. I simply knew that going there again would be soooo boring!
At lunch, I sat with Shira and Lalana like I always did, and got a cool fortune cookie message. It said that I am admired for my radiance. Such a message was a great pick-me-up after a dreadful history class.
Although I don't normally enjoy science, today wasn't that bad because I managed to get to class earlier than usual, so I actually had enough time to finish the warm-up today!
Throughout the school day, I always look forward to language class. I love Mrs. Farooqui and language arts! Today we were presenting our posters about the 1960s to the rest of the class. I was the only person who was working alone. My project was about 1960s literature. After I presented, everyone said I did a great job! Mrs. Farooqui told me that my project was the best in the whole class! I asked her after the bell rang why everyone loved my project so much. She said that it was because I knew what I was talking about and I captured her attention as well as the attention of the class. I felt great after receiving those compliments!
So here's my advice to everyone who hates Mondays: You never know what surprises are going to jump out at you or wether your day will be wonderful, horrid, or a combination of both when you first wake up on Monday morning, or any day of the week. And if your morning starts out bad, remember that your day will probably get better soon, just like mine. Bottom Line: You can't predict what kind of day you're going to have before it happens!
