Huh? Another Mr. Carpenter?... well, that figures given how popular that last name is... Just remembering the slight crush I had on former 8th grade phys. sci. teacher with the same surname.

Today was... okay.

(oh, and excuse my brief comments. I'm typing one-handed since the nail polish on one hand has yet to dry completely)

English: had the visiting teacher from our sister school in Ukraine talk a bit about the effects of Communism and how life under that particular was truly like... but as the nature of all highscoolers, we strayed from the topic and talked instead about our sister school and her son's career as a computer programmer. Luckily, Ms. Miller didn't have time to do a notebook check... since I left mine on the coffee table whilst leaving the house in haste.

History: more project presentations. Afterwards, the room became a den for socializing for 10 minutes till the bell rang.

Chem: test, the article reading, then half an hour spent tuning out to my Puffy Ami Yumi cd.

Lunch: Rica's back! Also got my pictures and student id for this year... um, is there some way for me to change the picture from this year's to last year's? This year's photo made me look like a dazed mexican buddha... which is a bizarre thought when one dwells on it.

Art: Ms. Treat brought me boughs from her tree to use for my project! Yay! So the majority of the time was spent fashioning the things to fit the box properly. Got extremely messy/dusty... but loads of fun. During Op. period I continued my branch manipulations and chatted with Karen about her graphite piece (which I unfortunately had to do last year for art).

Wanted to go to P.A., but interestingly enough I couldn't because I had to sing at church tonight (DJ:"I didn't know you could sing, Chuck." Me:"Well... I was in the show choir two years ago." DJ:"Yeah, but some of those people couldn't sing." Me:"You mean... Zack?" DDDDDDJ:"Yep.")

And the singing didn't fare too badly either. Sarah was telling me about the party last night/ fanning flames of jealousy and apparently it seemed a bit on the boring side... oh well.

Speaking of which, must call Matt and inquire about a ride for next week (among other things)... anyone care to bend his ear for me?
