Testing, one two three

Tonight is the first GED test. It starts at 6:00 and goes til 9:30.

I met with Ms. Edwards again today and she said it will take about a month after I get the test results for the district to exit me from Foothill. That's ok.

I tried to to look up the application process on the Las Po website, but it said they're only accepting apps for the Fall 2007 semester. I called the admissions office to ask about the Spring 2008 semester and I got a recorded message saying: "We are now accepting applications for Spring 2008." But the website doesn't say this. So I e-mailed the school with my question and I received this response: "We are now accepting applications for Spring 2008." Thanks. But you're wrong. Then I looked on the website again and it had a link to Spring 2008 applications. I swear they updated their website after I e-mailed them. I'm not crazy.

I learned today that Mr. Lipman is a homophobic idiot. Apparently J.K. Rowling made a statement that one of the Harry Potter characters is gay. Someone brought this up in class as part of an economic current event project. Lipman's like, "Why would she say that? What is wrong with her?" Um, maybe she said that because it's the truth. He thought that her saying this would hurt the book. But he also thought she was slamming one of the characters by calling them gay (dumb/stupid). Believe it or not there are gay people in the world, Lipman. And they're not stupid. The other day he made a lame joke about two guys who came into class under the same umbrella. What a moron. He's in a position of authority and he's acting just like all the other ignorant high school kids. Again, what a moron. Again, again, again..... !

I relate this to when teachers swear in class. Why do they think that is ok? I don't know.

Gah, why are my teachers so horrible?

Bradley update: ...... I don't even remember what we did today.

I had really bad cramps this morning so I didn't do Pilates. Tomorrow is a conditioning run. We just run for as long and far as we can.

I am very anxious right now.

I am going to take a nap.
