lieutenant governor
This week is one day from finishing out. And yet even now I can give it the title "Most Craziest Week Ever." Things have been turned upside down and my expectations were all but destroyed. Maybe it’s for the better; you decide.
Of course, having already blogged this Tuesday (check Archives), school has been dramatic. Coping with the loss of another student is never a frivilous thing, this one especially. I’m always relieved by our faculty’s effort to slow things down when tragedies like this occur to allow students some time to back off from work and focus on counsel. I consider this a blessing.
I finally did my College English presentation this past Wednesday. After 8 hours of preparation and in-depth study, not to mention the complete stress and nervousness, Mrs. Boswell-Beer said mine was "excellent." She also said I covered the material incredibly well for the difficulty of my chapter. My timing was great too. Hopefully a certain few will get me back their homework assignment so I can grade them and turn them in. Oh well.
Also on Wednesday, Mr. Steve Newman was our guest speaker in AP Government. For those of you non-my-district people, Mr. Newman is our State Senator for this area of Virginia. He is just a great speaker. He thoroughly and clearly described our state government and its operation. He also did a quick thing near the end of class using some students as office holders. I was the lieutenant governor. Apparently it’s not a flashy job because I was constantly told I was "not relevant" and just a basically pointless governing figure. I wonder if I get a Porsche…
I went over to BestBuy Wednesday evening. Purchased Coyote Ugly and Star Wars Episode II. Both were on sale, meaning both were viable excuses for me to get a DVD. Ironically enough I ran into Mr. Newman at BestBuy. He remembered me as the "lieutenant governor."
Tomorrow is Friday and then the weekend. I’m not sure if I even want to make plans ever again in my life in fear of this type of craziness taking reign consequently. Oh well…
