Wearing a tie makes you look like a banker (week in review)

Monday: I got to class late and on the way there I saw that creepy guy. He was later than me. I was so bored in class I drew a "clechanpuff", a clefairy, chansey, and jigglypuff mixed together. We had to do the gym in my exercise class and some guy was singing along to the background music they play. He was singing loudly. I'm so mad Pokémon won't be on the CW.

Tuesday: I didn't feel like going to my writing class, so I didn't. At the last class the teacher said she would email us to tell us where the class would meet. I waited all morning for that email. And I never got it. I gave up and went to school. I figured I'd just go looking for the room. I knew it would waste time, but that was better than the teacher thinking I was a no-show to class. So when I get to the "regular" room I see the teacher in there. Luckily I wasn't the 1st person to present. I went up there wearing my Cena shirt on purpose as a joke to play it up. I wasn't going to be too serious. If you be serious too much you dont have fun. Plus nobody takes me serious anyway. So as a joke I took a tie out of my pocket and put it on. Nobody got the joke. I was inspired by this one scene during smackdown when Cena stuffed a tie he cut off JBL into his basketball jersey.

I was flustered and nervous. I hate public speaking a lot. It's one of my top 3 fears besides death and earthquakes. Now what if I have to address the public during an earthquake and then die? My presentation sucked! Well at least I thought it did. I put a lot of humor into it besides the tie joke, but nobody really "got" my humor. My editing skills suck and I wasn't afraid to point that out. Actually I think that was the only thing the class laughed at. When I looked at the class they all looked bored. I'll admit that I looked bored during other peoples' presentations too. My ideas always look good on paper, but in reality they suck. I think the teacher sensed my presentation was really weak. People just don't "get" wrestling. I mean if you dont know anything about it or like it. Then at the end the teacher asks me a stupid question. She asks me about the effects of wrestling on small children. What!? That wasn't even the topic I did my paper or presentation on. My topic was about the WWE and their advertising tactics. Her question didnt even make sense. I got a compliment on my tie from the teacher, but I felt it was insincere. Another bad thing was that the reporters didn't show up. I would've played it up even more for them.

Wednesday: In my exercise class we were doing one of those dated "Buns of Steel" videos. We were supposed to be exercising along with the video, but the teacher left room. And nobody was really exercising. I was sort of. When the teacher came back everybody was all "the teacher's coming back, look like you're exercising!" There was this stretch we had to do and I looked so funny because it looked like a dance move and I wanted to dance so badly. The lady in the video was doing squats and, looked like she was going to fart. The kids were making fart noises as she squatted. Since nobody was really exercising the teacher said we had "summeritous". I think I dont well not for that class anyway.

Thursday: I was up all morning typing up my poems. It took me forever to do and finish them. In my writing class I was so bored I mean really, really bored. I hate that class and its ironic because I love writing. Maybe Id like the class better if I had a different teacher. I have 2 weeks left but its still not moving fast enough. Aren't we going to turn in our projects/collections? All the teacher has been doing is talk about folk songs. I'm sick of folk songs. They are boring. I don't appreciate the same lyrics the teacher does. The only reason I had come to class was to turn in my bad poetry. I was up the night before working on it. If I knew we weren't turning anything in I would not have come. I think I have one absence left out of the 4 she gives us. I think absence #4 should be used wisely. That girl who sits in from of me were talking about boredom. Her and I were agreeing about how bored we were. The teacher said a lot of the of the popular songs now are depressing. Or maybe the people in the class picked depressing ones. Somebody did "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, that song makes me sad and makes me think about Eddie. The other songs people did were a 2pac one a Frankie J one and an Elliot Smith one. I think almost any no Doubt song "represents" me, they have been part of my identity for 10 years. Then the teacher starts passing out papers and is humming. So that girl who sits in front of me and I start laughing out loud. At the end of class the teacher said there was falling of course it is. That class is boring and nobody wants to go. I've seen people ditching the class. Then she tells us that she needs all the work we did for the class in the folder and not just the new stuff we are turning in. Now I have to find it. Well at least she gave us a warning, not like last time. In my comm class we talked about 80s sitcoms and how wholesome they were. Where was the mention of Punky Brewster? I wanted to get nostalgic and wear my denim vest, pigtails, and 2 different colored shoes. And the teacher didnt remember Fox's old program Totally Hidden Video. That was like early trashy Fox reality tv.

Saturday: Whoa! Those some of those new Pokémon voice actors were horrible. Ok well mostly Brock. I was really giving this new cast a chance like I did with Sailor Moon. I know people dont want me comparing the 2 series, but it wasnt like when I heard the other Rini voice and knew that was an improvement from the old one. I like most people had gotten attached to the old voices.
