Entry 5.4, day 24
Now- ugh. Lai is here. He says he needs to leave early, to meet Akira. I do not like him
or Akira. I will strangle him if he does not stop singing (or attempting to sing) sprite songs. He is exceptionally bad at it, and I have never heard anyone pronounce "Njarsa" as "Najerza" before.
Anyway. I am working on an enclosed "black hole." Is time-travel possible, I wonder?
Ugh, I sound like a fantasy geek.
Goodbye.
Entry 5.5, day 25
"School" started today. So far, I have managed to perplex last year's "valedictorian," 2 teachers, and the entire class.
I have
homework. Also known as self-inflicted-yet-adult-imposed torture. I have already finished it, anyway.
Okay. I thought it was impossible for one person to drone on and on and on about one single subject. Until I met Mrs. Conaclova, aka "the Volcano." Does she really think we are that stupid? ("we" being the class.) She explains every single thing we have to do in the "science" class. For example, she handed out a sheet of instructions and said, "Now let's begin by going
downward on the list. Avan, can you read the list starting with the top and going
downward?"
Then she proceeded to pause at least 32 times (I counted) to define every word.
There were only 7 things on the list. She clearly thinks we are the slowest natives on the planet. I don't like her.
Although I do like Mr. Corranil. He's strict, but I actually learned something in his class. He teaches social studies. We also now have something called current events. Basically we bring in something controversial to his class and debate it the entire classtime. I can't wait. I am going to be great.
Entry 5.6, day 26
First current event day tomorrow/tommorrow. I have had mine picked out for two days. Sprite's economy crisis.
Yeahh. Well, Lai's been going to school too, and apparently he's not having a good time. He is getting out of his school as rapidly as he possibly can. So that means he hanging around here, with Akira, trying for about three hours to get his homework done. He usually gets it finished (eventually) while I type these. Lai is kind of slow.
Entry 5.7, day 27
Yeah, I was right. I rule at current events. And I developed the laptop computer I was making. A perfect day, and no homework. I'm typing this from the laptop, as I have already transferred the files to it.
Great. Lai needs help with homework. I'll write later if I have time.
Huh. English is weird. Still.
