Zoo....?

Did I mention that I love my little car?

A.J. didn't need a ride to school today so I just drove myself. So fun. I haven't driven in a few weeks. I want to drive A.J. every day like he was doing for me.

Today we switched seats in calculus. I now sit dead center in the front row. Why me, again?

That singing dude in physics was bouncing his foot on my seat. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to seem like a total monster, having already gotten annoyed with him before. But can we just switch seats in physics??

I will have the months of December and January off. I don't know what to do with that time. I tried to call the Oakland Zoo to ask about volunteer opportunities, but no one answered. So I will try again.

Bradley update: We have been reading this two-page story called the Book of Ruth. For six days. Can we slow down the pace any more? Tomorrow we are to give a Socratic seminar in which a couple of us at a time go sit in front of the class and discuss the story. How many new ideas are 36 people supposed to come up with? Gah, so pointless.

Today was our first day of Pilates. Yeah, harder than yoga. All my muscles hurt right now.

Mr. Lipman says the word "twenty" very oddly. It's like "chwenty." I think it's funny.

Mr. Lipman loves pugs. If you don't know the answer to a question on a test, you just write "I love pugs" and he will give you a point. I guess pugs are kinda cute.

I think my mom was trying to organize her extensive collection of catalogues. There are a couple piles of them stacked in the other room. But they are also all over the floor in a big mess. I bet my dog Max is responsible. Mom will be very mad.

Today there was a blood drive at my school. Everyone was walking around all sick and light-headed. I didn't do it.

My mom just got home and said we are going to the pumpkin patch again. And she made the catalogue mess. It's her "to throw away" pile.

Anyway, a very long day. I hope you all are having a good one.
