Since I had an unexpected senior class field trip on Friday, I really saw how devastating it can be to have to ride a short deadline and rely on classmates for help. Sometimes it's worth the risk, sometimes it isn't. When it doesn't work, you have to make last minute improvises and hope they work.
I want to learn the best way to manage your human resources. I can imagine that it will be easier once we are all able to drive, but for now, getting from one person's house to the next is a hassle.
The surprise field trip on Friday was unexpected and unnecessary. I was told that because I had BOCES, I would be allowed to not go (that and the fact that I'm not going to prom). That turned out to be a big lie. There were no buses sent to my school that were going to NCTEC. When I talked to my homeroom teacher about it, she scolded me for "not valuing the lesson they were going to give me." In the end, I learned nothing new, spend hours of time doing little to nothing, and heard countless depressing stories from people who have suffered a loss or suffered from an injury. They have my sympathy, but I don't think their stories sunk in as well as they were intended to (sorry).
I don't know, summer is closing in and I look forward to my trip to Maryland and my graduation party.
Remember when Avatar: The Last Airbender was popular? Remember the angry owl spirit that tried to sink his secret library in the middle of the desert? Remember when he broke out into some sick beats? No? Well check out the video! It's a neat animatic about the owl spirit doing just that, putting on some headphones and doing some DJing.
Have fun in Maryland!
