Word of the day is as follows:
recalcitrant- stubbornly resistant to and defiant of authority or restraint.
I'd like to start out and say that I did get the book (Finally!) and I've begun to read it. It feels so surreal to see my own writing in the book and know that someone other than me is going to read it. I'd also like to say that I've read some other people's essays (Jordan's and Amy's included in this) and I feel like I need to say how priveledged I feel to be included in a book with some people who are this talented. It's an honor. Really. I'd also like to say that I feel obligated (especially to Amy) to apologize for some people's behavior (Jerk 1 and Jerk 2 specifically) because it's not acceptable and I feel disgusted knowing that something like that happened.
The next thing I'm going to talk about is my day, because I'm in a particularly good mood (even though I did probably flunk my ASL test). I went to classes, took my science quiz and ASL quiz and I did my practicum over at the local Elementary school. Nothing is as rewarding as working with children, it is probably one of the best things I have ever experienced. I know that this is really what I'm supposed to do, because I feel so lucky to be able to help someone become better educated and get to the point where I am and be able to look back and realize how much they've been helped along the way. I wouldn't have been published if it weren't for some help from some very special people in my lives (a good amount of teachers included in this number). I still miss my friends like crazy, McDreamy especially, but Thing One and Thing Two and Addison are helping me get through it. I really miss Bobo as well, she's my best friend and I am going crazy because I can't talk to her as much. Chorus class makes me miss her even more. Speaking of chorus, no, I haven't talked to Chorus Boy yet. I have made eye contact but that's as far as I've gotten.
In the next blog I'll probably write something in response to Jordan's essay because I was very inspired. =)
Ta for now!
