Ending School Year
May 11: Science exam, which I completed fairly quickly; afterwards, I read Gordon Korman's Zoobreak, then began John Green's An Abundance of Katherines.
May 12: Social Studies exam, which was fairly simple.
May 13: AP Human Geo, last exam taken in my school building.
In Spanish class, we were supposed to complete a cultural project where we could present Spanish language poems, music, or food, of which latter two were supposed to be from Spanish-speaking origins, but one food passed and other failed, whereas music was entirely irrelevant but good.
I was supposed to announce who was presenting. (Order may be incorrect.) Here I am using substandard nicknames.
1) Ant and Derek: lumpia, which I unfortunately could not consume because they had beef. They smelled appetizing.
2) Mat: Spitfire on clarinet
3) Ty: Riffs from Seven Nation Army and Longview (songs)
4) Et: store-bought microwaved taquitos, which were only presented this early because they were getting cold. Quote from his presentation: "This is a very Latino food," which seems to imply all you need to know. Half tasted lame and too cold
5) Shell (Me) and Yara: I wrote long poem yesterday (which will be in following post) and she forgot to do hers. She originally got drawing from Lexi, but she gave it back because that drawing did not look like her style (although it is not her specialty, she draws decently and it might even have seemed more cultural) and thought partnering up was better. Since I had our turned-in papers, I changed ours on there.
6) Lexi, artist of this class: She drew something from The Property of Hate ["Young girl" (main character) on RGB's back]
7) Kiara, who is also great drawer but forgot to do this project, borrowed Lexi's drawing of "her husband" skeleton, to which I commented during her required explanation that she drew it to represent that she felt like death.
8) Brit: I gave her my first stanza (about legs being foundation).
9) Fork and Home: did not go --- former was tired, latter never cares.
10) Wall: I tried to give stanza on bones, but we left.
One of my friend-acquaintances leaves next week and I will leave her note.
I leave for school-sponsored university camp on May 23 after/during(?) field trip [no specific camp times given] and I give everyone ambigram note about them and their personality.
An ambigram is a representation of image/word that still retains meaning when rotated, which may differ from original meaning.
Ambigram notes are great gift as they show you put effort into doing something for them.
