Hey all! mayn do i got some stuff to talk about!!
First off, yesterday sucked big time, cause there was PSAT testing, and seniors don't take it. On days like these the skool freezes the schedule, so ur stuck in one place for a long time, then u go to 7th and 8th periods. Well...i wanted to skip school like all other seniors, but i had to go to 7th and 8th cause thats Calculus and she was gonna teach things for a quiz the next day...and im struggling to hold onto my "C" in there. Well...there were hardly any seniors who stayed...like 50 or so....and they put us in the gym from like 10am til after 2:30!! It was sooo boring! We were bothering all the administrators who were watching us, asking them for basketballs or somethin to do. They wouldnt give us sh*t though, so me, Steph, Sherrelle and Nick amused ourselves playing "soccer" with coins and throwing paper balls through the railings on the bleachers. what fun. Oh yeah...would u believe they were actually calling it the "holding area??" WTF??? Do we look like cows??? omg...such a bad day...
Today was cool. All my classes went well. The quiz in calculus i think i did great on....can an "A" be in my future?? Maybe??
OMG!!! Lunch was sooo crazy!! There was almost this BIG @ss fight....it was freaky. It wasn't even bout to be a fight...it was like a race war or somethin....it was crazy. There was like this group of mostly Spanish kids standing by the entrance to the cafeteria in a group. That was a bit odd, cause me and my friends sit at the table fight by the door, and that group never usually stands there. NEwayz, after awhile, this group of African American kids comes over and they are standing there too. Then it just got loud...not between the two groups...but everyone else. This guy sitting next to me was being all loud and annoying and kept saying stuff like "AAAWWW! Those Chinese kids are bout to fight!!" and "Those Asian kids are gonna fight the black kids!!" Im like...shut up!! and theyre NOT chinese!! geez...ignorant people...
NEwayz...then more and more pple kept joining the two groups...and all us in that area were all like OMG! They're gonna fight! My friend Danelle was being all slow...at first she was fakin like an announcer at a wrestling show and was like "And we are about to start a 10 minute face-off!!! On the right side of the ring we have....Little Mexicana!!! On the left side we got....a bunch of black people!!" she was bein so stupid..lol. Then she started singing songs real loud, their lyrics somewhere along the lines of "why can't we all just get along." lol.
But...yeah...it was crazy. Then the two goups sorta came together, and u could see a few of them in eachothers faces, but no one was fighting yet. Then, the Spanish group walked out the cafeteria into the courtyard, and then the black group went and followed them. Then...our idiotic school...all the students in the cafeteria just jumped up and ran out the door thinkin they'd see the fight in the courtyard. But nothin happened and pple started coming back into the cafeteria lookin stupid.
But it was wild. You could feel the tension. Some pple were lookin nervous. I know i was! They were big groups of people!! This wasn't a one-on-one or even a little group fight...this was like 20+ on 20+ fight! And the way both sides were divided racially...u know if something happened, there would be more fights to follow simply because of racisim and retaliation. And i wouldn't be surprised if there was a fight that some of them would pull out guns or knives or something. Ive seen people w/ guns at school in previous years, and in my tenth grade year there was a fight and this one guy pulled out a knife and started stabbing the other guy. This was lookin pretty serious...and i was just like...daym...if u gonna fight just stay away from me...i dont wanna get into any of this...
I think somethin might happen in the next few days or so, cause no one seemed to wind down. On my way to my next period, i walked through this one hallway and most of the people in the Spanish group passed me, and some of them looked mad and one of them kept punching his hand w/ his fist like he was gonna hit someone. They were talking in Spanish real fast, so i couldn't really pick up what they were saying. That was crazy though...
whew! okay...time to do homework!!! I turned one English paper in today...got one more project due friday!
