Why does everyone have a snow day but me? ::flails in irritation:: Look at all that snow on the ground! This is Dallas! School gets cancelled if there's a 30% chance of the stuff! Bah.

Why on Earth didn't I bring my tablet with me to school today? I could be working on the Starling collaboration. I have my camera with me, so I could go out and do some photography, but the snow isn't nearly as glorious as it was yesterday and last night. Double bah. I could do my homework, but that's the last thing I want to do right now. ::flails about:: So that's my story.

How about another helping of amusing quotes? I really need to update the archive. Maybe I will during that two-week period when I won't have any theatre! Muaha, I think I'm going to try out for "The Twelfth Night", as I talked to Olivia (possibly the most dramatic girl in the senior class) last night, and she wants to try out for Olivia. There aren't very many dramatic seniors, so my chances at getting a role will be pretty high. ::crosses fingers::

Mr. Dumaine: Do you have any questions?

Sherri: (in response to a Kepler video) Do you find teaching more frustrating than rewarding?
Mr. Taylor: But rewards come from frustration.
Sherri: Do you really believe that?
Mr. Taylor: I don't know, but it sounded good.

Mr. Taylor: We're going to watch a movie.
Me: Lord of the Rings? Hitchhiker's Guide?
Megan: The Emperor's New Groove?
Mr. Taylor: It's about gravity.
Gigi: Is it just footage of people falling?

It's the classic "Elevator in Outer Space" problem.

--Mr. Taylor

Every single day when I wake up in the morning, I take five minutes out of my schedule to ponder the Joy of Tadpoles.

--Me, in response to a headline in "Science News"

It's just cool! It's bound to be true!

--Mr. Taylor, the Principle of Equivalence

The "Over Soul"? Is that some Transcendentalist pun on galoshes?

--Me

Very few Romans used ASCII, so this really wasn't a problem.

--Mr. Taylor

There are some countries I haven't been to, like Africa and India.

--Nell Portner, one of the speakers today
