Today, my mom woke me up at 7:00 in the morning, 30 minutes before I was supposed to get to the bus. I took my shower, brushed my teeth, got dressed, and still had enough time to lay back down and rest my eyes for 20 minutes. School was usual, I guess. In first period, I did my work, just like the rest of the 3% of the kids in there who do as well. In second period, I went into the shop and hung out with a few friends and did something stupid, as usual. I was in the back seat of my friends truck and he was going to go park it. As we were about to head out, another friend of mine, completely oblivious to the driver, sat on the back bumper. It wasn't 5 seconds before he sped up to get down to the end of the parking lot and he had fallen off the back, rolling on the ground. He was alright, just stupid. he had several road rashes on him, the biggest one on the side of his right hand. We laughed about it and instead of getting mad, he called his mom to come and get him from school because of the injury, lying of course about what had happened.
In my third period I actually felt like I was learning. There is always something to be taught in US History.
Have you ever said something to someone that was so wrong, but you said it anyway because you didn't think, you just said it? That happened to me today. I said something to a really good friend of mine today that I am sorry for saying. I didn't think, which is normal for me I guess. Luckily she forgave me for what I said, but I still feel bad for it. (No I am not going to say it. I promised I wouldn't ever again.)
Anyway, back on topic. Fourth period I did my work...well most of it anyway. The talk was mainly about the Robotics meeting that was going on later on that evening. I didn't really want to go home and I thought why not stay and chill for a few hours before I go? School ended at 3:30. The meeting was at 6. I mainly hung out with a kid named Franklin, someone who I only get along with outside of school. We went to super compare foods (local Mexican super market) and got some soda and chocolate and sat at the rec center making jokes and doing nothing but talking. We eventually made our way back to the school and sat for another hour with a girl named Shenece, who was also staying after school for the robotics meeting, and joked around about her and her Bluetooth. When the meeting came along I sat with her in the large lunch room away from most of the other people, who were mainly seniors. There weren't too many people there, just a few freshman and a few parents. Nothing special, but it felt good I was a part of something. This year I have a really important job, as you may have read in one of my previous blogs. The best part about it is that I have some really good ideas, good connections, and really good support. Most of all, I can work on it all of it before the season starts, so that is very helpful. I should be able to start working tomorrow, at the latest Monday. I'm looking forward to it.
So, overall, I had an interesting day. Life as "That Kid" is looking up. Hopefully one day I'll be looking back to this day and laughing... Or crying. Or both, like that guy from the Double Rainbow video. Well, that's all I have to say about today.
Until tomorrow, (or later on today) Isaac
