Notes on the first day of school
Sep. 2nd, 2004 06:15 pmMy lit project is... not done. Because it's not due till next week. And also he wants much more of the "Who are you in the world, what is the world around you?" than the "Compare the world to that of the books".
Due to the assembly, I missed AP Physics.
Yup, I have Bajwa for bio. :-/
Ed Early is indeed here, he is teaching a combinatorics elective, which I'm not taking because I have so little free time on my schedule (though not compared to some people...).
So for math our textbook is Apostol Calculus Volume 2, and we actually *will* be following it. Niceness.
Apparently we have a senior lounge this year. Where is it? The old teachers' lounge, perhaps?
Although I somehow remembered my gym locker combo (perhaps because it's stayed the *same* all these years), I couldn't recall the combination on my own normal lock. I had to get Andrei to determine it for me. Apparently, there's some simple way to determine the last number, and once you have that, there are only 64 possibilities, not the 40² that it would seem. That doesn't sound very secure - clearly it isn't, Andrei was able to determine my combination - but, um... well, I guess there really is no but. :-/
Andrei's skin color has changed. That's how long he spent on the beach this summer. Not "Andrei got a tan", just... his skin color changed.
Yes, I have CS with Nevard in 39B, followed by lunch, followed by math with Nevard in 39B, every day.
Now, lunch today. Mom didn't have lunch prepared, so she just gave me $5, go buy lunch. Now, the downstairs cafeteria wasn't serving food today, so I went upstairs.
This wasn't even a line out the door. This was a *mob* out the door.
I go downstairs.
I sit with Chris and Jaime and Kathryn and beg them for some food. Of course really I should have offered to *buy* their food, seeing as how I had $5, but at the time I was just thinking that when the line got smaller I would go upstairs and buy a real lunch. Regardless, Kathryn gives me a Granola bar. I don't think she wanted it anyway. Eventually I go upstairs and see that it's no longer a mob out the door though still a line nearly to the door, stand on it for a while and eventually realize that it's *not moving*. Not noticeably, anyway. Still hungry, I go back downstairs and go to the table where Jon and Tom and someone else are sitting and ask *them* for food. They don't have any, but one of them gives me an empty bag of chips with some crumpled aluminum (or possibly tin, I wouldn't know) foil inside. I head over to another table and offer either of these in exchange for food. Sydney gives me an apple for the tinfoil. After eating the apple, I go upstairs, find the line totally empty, buy a thing of mozzarella sticks and fries and a bottle of water - for $4.50. This stuff costs that much now? Wow, I'm glad I didn't pay either Kathryn or Sydney (save with the tinfoil).
I then don't even have enough time to finish the fries and continue on to math hungry.
...and of all possible things to eat for breakfast, it had to be Cheerios.
Quotes:
Mr. Margolis, giving some sort of speech during the opening assembly: "...computers and other things associated with technology..."
Me: "What, the free group on cats?"

very wasteful. How true that is."
