Today, I finished my well-formatted poster for my mentorship project. Making them was a flash. I simply put everything neatly in tables and made the table lines invisible, then selected "5 copies to print". Ah, technology.
In school, we had a new science teacher, Ms. Kot. Personally, I don't like her very much. She seems too young and too inexperienced. Also, she is fussy about discussions in class. I like to actively participate in class discussions, not "be called upon when raising your hand."
We heard the student council rep election speeches today. They were all good, and cliche-ish. All of the candidates said "I will listen to your opinions." or " your opinions will be heard" or "do you want a rep who takes time to listen to your opinions?", etc. I don't always get this cynical, but do people actually communicated with their council reps and express their "opinions"? I don't think so. Everyone is too caught in his or her affairs, and that just seems to be too insignificant.
In English, we had Scott Bellis, an actor at Bard who played Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream come over and talk to us. We had very informative discussions with him, often interrupted by awkward pauses in between. At the end, we read a segment of the play together, and he autographed our works.
