It's that time again... Several Unrelated Posts in One. Hurrah!
Well, I've started painting my breastplate. It's going to look awesome come Halloween. Hurrah! When the College Board says you can view your scores early online starting October 25th, do they mean midnight on the 24th or sometime in the morning? Bleh. I want to see how I did on the SAT 2's. I'm cold, despite warm pajamas, toe-socks, and my jedi robe. Is there hot chocolate in the house? Marcelina and I had quite an amusing outing yesterday after school. We first went to a grocery store, where I got Spam and hard candy for the Thanksgiving drive. We decided that "Spam and hard candy" was the Phrase of the Day. Then, we went to Whole Foods in search of a healthier snack, where Marcelina found some absolutely awesome mittens. We both got smoothies, the we brought back some garlic and parmesan bread for the masses. Good stuff. And a brief rant: Today, not for the first time, but for the first time I really paused to reflect, I got the feeling that some of the JETS members don't want me driving this year. When Ashley was enumerating the drivers, it seemed she deliberately refused to mention my name, despite my pointed comments that I was on the list. After listing the obvious candidates (Mack, for one), she started listing less experienced underclassmen and seniors that displayed marginal interest in driving. When I told her that I always assumed my position on the list went without saying, she rallied with "Well, it's either you or Sagari." I don't want to seem demeaning to Sagari, as she's the Junior-President and a devoted member and I love her, but I found it insulting that it was even an issue. Sagari might not even be going, as she has a piano lesson. Excuse me? A piano lesson in higher priority over a once-per-year opportunity? And Ashley wants to give my spot to her? I realize I sound incredibly egocentric, but I hardly think that's fair. I put in Percy knows how many hours of blood and sweat into the notebook; I think I deserve it. In previous competitions, I've been one of our highest scorers. Can I at least have a reason why I'm being snubbed?
