My French Math Teacher's Wife is Pregnant

And yes, the title is true.

Going back to school after the break wasn't actually all that bad. We all got one of Mr. Sammons' "pep talks" in English (my favorite class- I only get his class once a week though) about how this trimester was going to go by really fast and we should make it our best and work hard, 'cause teachers would be looking to see which students can go to the next grade. Well, they all will theoretically but it's a matter of which school and such. I just twiddled my thumbs (not literally, but you get it) and chuckled to myself in my mind; I wasn't going to be here next year. But it's still nice to hear a teacher tell you the next few weeks will go by quickly. Most of the time.

My friend Claire is extremely nice. Like too nice. I mean, not to brag or anything. I just thought I'd mention it. As I mentioned, the Latin class took that trip to Turkey and Claire even thought to bring me back a little keychain. Gosh.

It now smells like softball season. Fresh cut grass, leather mitts, the crack of a bat, dust getting kicked up, a routine smack on your palm as the abused white sphere pops right into your glove and those awkward yet intimidating glances from the other team. I have no plans for doing softball in high school, because quite frankly I hate softball. As well as competition. I get extremely ticked off with the whole "girls can't play baseball" thing. And I'm not just talking about that quote in terms of physical power; I mean the fact that there are like no organized baseball teams for girls. I mean, what? We can't throw that fricking ball? The pitching is just ugh and just ugh.

I think we may have dragged one of my friends' baseballs over here. But I'm sure Anthony has lots of other ones. I can remember playing catch with him at Slauson field; he'd give me the run down of different MLB teams, rant about stupid and cheap players, etc etc, while I ask stupid questions like, "Who do you think will win the World Series?" and "...Is that good?" when he rattles off some stats. But in general it was pretty awesome.

This book would be cool to get, also because it has an excerpt from one of the Youtubers that I watch. Who is pretty awesome. Yeah...

Oh and yeah, they have way different paper here. And just notebooks in general. They have these squares, that have 3 horizontal lines in them. The squares are a little less than a centimeter tall, and there are pretty big margins. Well actually the paper size is just bigger, so yeah. You can see an image of some different types here, and the one I'm talking about is on the bottom right. So yeah. It is rather weird...

Oh! Oh! And and the band director sent us the audition music! And it actually doesn't look too hard. Lots of triplets. F sharp. High A. But I have like 3 months to practice. So yeah. Excitement!
