Today was Monday, which started as an ordinary Monday (besides the spectacle of me carrying a paper bag masquerading as a piñata through C-Wing), and having my Spanish teacher say “I like it.” That was elation in itself. But the day changed rather quickly with the arrival of our guest speaker. He is the great-uncle of my math teacher, and the youngest survivor of the Holocaust. I can say no more than his speech was amazing, his message was poignant, solemn, and lasting, and it was an honor to simply shake his hand. I may have mentioned how I was drafted to write an article about this man? Well that was both the easiest and hardest article I’ve ever written. Maybe eventually I’ll post it, but for now just follow the link: http://nathantaffel.com/.
After that the day went by extremely quickly. We busted open a piñata (not mine) in Spanish and dove for the ensuing rain of Starburst and Skittles. In Chorus we were told we were the most musically talented Chorus class our teacher had ever had, yet the behavior left something to be desired. And in English we watched some of ‘Of Mice and Men’.
I guess it’s a little odd that on a day I should have had so much to write about I ended up with so little. Maybe I spurned all of those demons for tonight with that article. But what I do know is that they’ll be back tomorrow, so expect to hear more about the most boring life on Earth.
Oh, and one last thing…
SONG YOU REALLY SHOULD BE LISTENING TO:
The song is called ‘You Know My Name’, and is the theme for Casino Royale. Enjoy. Bon Voyage dans el Noir.
