Yup, it's just about halftime and it looks like I'm still on the winning team as far as grades go. (Studies may show a link between telephone operators and higher grades.) Time has flown by like a slug on a roller coaster. And now, even before I can take time out of the game, as I make the last lunge for the ball, I am already forced to look back on the first half of my Junior year in high school.
School work can be a drag, but in Chemistry we're going out on a cheerful note; we have recently been studying the gas laws. Well, maybe I'm the only one who actually enjoys it, but learning about PV=nRT is fascinating! Also, I've learned a bit more about time management, through the unofficial intensive course that is forced upon every W.A. student. My fellow men's chorus members and I have learned some really neat songs; after working hard on the pieces, I've been able to figuratively lean back and relax while singing, enabling me to listen to the meaningful words of the song. I've had many good laughs with the Juniors and the English teacher, Ms. Chi. And I've spent hours trying to hack out eloquent blogs.
As far as funny things that happened this year, I really can't bring to mind the year's funniest moment. But Carsten, Manny, and I did have some laughs on Openhouse night, as I called from one phone in the dorm to the other, posing as an automated telemarketer. The great part was that both phones in the guys' dorm were in the same room! Oh yeah, you guys, (you know who you are) you never claimed your free cruise :-P
Yeah, this year's been fun. And tiring. And boring. And frustrating. And soporific. (Seriously, you need to read your dictionary.) But despite the seemingly dead-weight cons that threaten to tip my balance in favor of deserting W.A., there's that all-important, unmeasurable factor that keeps drawing me back. It's the special memories, made sweeter by the friends they are shared with, and the promise of new memories to be made with friends, old and new alike.
But the school year isn't over, so you can't shut me up yet. Don't go away; I'll be right back after this break!

Verrry eloquent! creative. I'll be waiting for the continuation. I guess I'm not one in the habit of reading my dictionary because that word(I don't recall the spelling)had me stumped. Good Job!!
I like it. You put a crazy school year into a very neat (amusing) word box without leaving too much out. By the way, I have been accused of reading the dictionary.
