Well, the ups and downs of our remaining two or three weeks of school continue. I, for some reason, seem to be the only girl capable of producing a glistening layer of sweat on every surface of my body after P.E. Well, this is after real football on real fields in real humidity. Oh, the horrors! Poor, poor us.
Everyone is grouchy at the end of the day. Linnie comes up and bluntly says, "Why do you sweat SO MUCH?! You look like a GUY! And why do you look like that? Your face is all weird!" We find her bluntness a breath of fresh air. Sometimes.
I had to color this one today as I found it appropriate. This is one of my main fixations at the end of the day, after waiting those extra minutes in the girl's locker room, waiting for the end-of-school bell to ring. All of us, sweaty and desperately crowding around the mirrors trying to fix this and that. I wonder, what does the mirror see? Well... what we see, I guess.
I took the algebra HSA today. It was my first really long test. It was very easy, I am glad to report, but also very long. We all looked, just as our teacher had predicted, like we had been run over by a train.
Other strange moments of the day: the weather is just as wonky as us kids. I looked outside and found it to be sunny and dry on one side, and pouring on the other. That's just annoying.
So good news and bad news ahead. And of the present, I guess. I can run precisely 3.68 miles! BUT, finals are coming. I am not getting worked up about them. No I am not. Just wait until next week... BUT right after finals comes THE END OF THE YEAR!!!
