Senior Skip Day was a total success!!! Friday was proooobably one of the best days ever!!!
Now to business...I just heard about the final exam project. I'm kind of freaking out about it. But I figured out something to do, and I've never. ever. done it before. And it's completely out of the norm for me! So hopefully it goes good. It sounds ok in my head, now the problem is to get it out. :)
I am so pumped for this week though because it's the LAST TIME WE HAVE TO TAKE HIGH SCHOOL EXAMS!!!!!!!!!! (hopefully) We are going to start the last trimester of our high school career and I am so excited!
And by the way, what tests do we have this week in this class??

I was a tool...
I feel now, after reading most of JGHG, that I was a tool to the government. I didn't see how there was no honor in fighing a war. I guess the NAVY and Marine commercials got the best of me! But really, I feel literarily enlightened. I think now that I can truly understand the message of Trumbo without feelings of discontent or confusion.
