Another historic milestone in my life... I missed the bus

Today was not as "eventful" as yesterday but it sure makes the top 10. It all started during our first class, computers, when Jessica and I, partners, began working on our new B.H.M. project which has great plans but no progress. Anyway, next it was time for music, and today I sat in the front row! I am officially a first clarinet now, and I felt so proud sitting at the front. We played Apache and saw a clip from Drumline in which it was played- with a rather silly dance. Then we had Language... Mr. Jacobs gave our stories back and I got the second lowest mark in the class. An 83%. I know I should not be complaining, but I have proof of the injustice he is committing. When we went to our next class, math, geography, having finished my work early I was reading another girl's paper and she got 90% and he only pointed out 4 mistakes. I read it and spotted more than 12 and that ... only pointed out 4! Then, he goes and finds every single mistake in mine and complains about my ratio of commas to periods. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE him. Anyway, after geography we had lunch so I before I went to Mr. Vincent's room I picked up a script for the play we are doing at school. Anyway I did not see Jessica so I thought she was already in Mr. Vincent's room so that is where I went. After I got there I realized she was not there, but I was not allowed to go back into the hall, so I stayed there for indoor recess too. Recess today was not as "exciting" as yesterday, but we played brainquest. It was fun. I also watched Kiana dance to "All The Single Ladies" by Beyonce, very weird. Then they played random songs, like "When I Grow Up" only to have the boys STARE at the girls in the video. Then recess ended so I went back to class, only to have Jessica yell at me for supposedly "ditching" her. Then we had math, where we worked on word problems, then science, where we watched a movie but I acted as a cryptographer and cracked Rosalie and Alice's code, and then French. In French we studies for the test, which is more fun than it seems, and Kanishkan bothered us by stealing our practice cards. Finally, class was over and it was time to go home. I wanted to talk to Mr. Zuberi about my language condition, so I went to his room after school and asked for advice. He told me to talk to my mom, which I am going to do. I was not aware that our conversation took a long time, so you can imagine my shock when I looked at the time and saw that I had missed the bus. Seeing as though my grandmother was the only one home and she can not drive, I was worried. Luckily my loyal friend Harleen was there and her dad was home, but she was also disgusting Mr. Zuberi and I by poking herself with the push pins on his desk, IN FRONT OF US! It was was disgusting. Anyway, we went to the office to call and her dad was on his way. As we waited at the front we talked about random stuff, and were surprised when Ms. Robinson, (possibly the best vice-principal ever) told us not to let anyone in because there was an angry person she did not want to come into the school. When she left Harleen and I joked about the angry person. Then, her dad came and we talked on the way back, only to be interrupted by an awkward song on the radio about vegetables. To this we burst out laughing. Then we reached my house and I thanked her dad and went inside. That was the end of my day. Well, school day.

For the record, I am not doing that dance.
That's unjust. I have a lot more commas than periods in my work.
Hate is a very bad thing.
So that's how you got lost in our room.
Yes, all the boys in my class are all perverts and idiots.
That's funny. I used to miss the bus a lot last year (as in 2008)
Yeah, she has a habit of doing that.

It was funny.
It is nice to see there are others who share my "comma" problem, no pun intended.
Hate is not enough for that man.
I did not get lost.
I know. I have proof.
Missing the bus is a unique experience in itself, no?
In front of Mr. Zuberi and I... He had to lock them in his drawer.

Yes, except much slower.
See, now that's just mean and cruel. On a side note, my clone suggests taking his idea in Optimistiacally Challanged.
Well, you lost us. I'm pretty sure we walked right past you.
I do not ALWAYS miss the bus, just some of grade 6. Okay, a bit more than half. Fine. MOST. Alright, alright, I miss the bus every single day of grade 6. Are you happy now?
Ghazal, are you french now, no?
She didn't have to use his. She has a whole stash of them in her binder.

Ghazal said...

So I've heard... And I am not French, well not completely. I do like the way they talk though. You do to, no?

It seem very fancy, no?

Ghazal said...

Yes. It does. I wonder where Jessica is, I have not heard from her all weekend. She must be busy, no?

Maybe a rogue clan of baboons persuaded into coming with her to a mysterious uncharted island and shes having the time of her life.

Ghazal said...

Or, on a more practical note, she may be busy for the weekend.

I'm not sure, the one with the baboons sounds pretty convincing.

Ghazal said...

I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with animals of any sort. Unless Cookie or Snowball are sick...

Aww, she back now. Maybe she brought her monkey friends with her?

Ghazal said...

No. She did not, and do you want to know why? She does not have monkey friends!

Ghazal said...

She told me.

She could be lying. do you have a lie detector?

Ghazal said...

Why would she lie about having fun with rogue monkeys?

You never know. Ask her therapist.
