Wednesday: Under the Lights

Tonight was a fun night.  Well, the single event that occurred tonight was a fun one.  The awards ceremony up at school had a couple welcome surprises.  For one, the auditorium was actually cold.  This is the same auditorium that usually feels like the Sahara in August.  And even wearing a suit, I didn’t feel hot.  That in itself is incredible.

And second?  There came a nice moment of synergy when they handed out the awards for the school’s government classes, and I got to stand next to my good buddy (as he calls it) Anthony and take a couple pictures.  He said poetic.  I say… well… destined?  We’re complete political opposites who both love arguing about government… so you can imagine how a debate between us turns out.  (Hint: we’ve hit the 500 comment mark on Facebook more than once.  I think once we might have even hit 800.)  But he deserved it, (no word on me… not sure if I deserve half of the compliments people give me… but I still accept them), and we got to stand up there shoulder to shoulder just like back in 5th grade and 8th grade and all of those other grades in between.

Other than that… well… today was pretty uneventful.  I almost fell asleep several times in Spanish, until my teacher asked us if anyone knew about the Barnes Museum that just opened in Philly.  Since apparently I am the only one in that room who goes to art museums… I got to give a quick little monologue about how awesome all of the art and all of the metal doohickeys are.  And yes, there is no other word to describe them.  Doohickey pretty much sums it up.

SONG OF THE DAY: TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE

And now I get to look forward to Mock Trial, which is the only semi-fun part of the school year left before Finals.  I got voted defense attorney for my class (because apparently I’ve achieved the coveted rank of being popular among honors kids… wahoo), so thanks for that one guys.  Now just to destroy everyone else with my trusty assistant (whom I still have not chosen…) and the school year will be officially complete in my book.

Adios, mis amigos.  Hasta mañana.
