Fire Breathing Fish

In Spanish yesterday we were playing Tellestrations. If you are not aware of the game Tellestrations, I’m not going to give an in depth description because that’s lame. It’s basically the greatest game ever and it combines Pictionary with telephone so it’s hilarious. The reason I bring up this game is because yesterday, Pedro got the word Dragon. So everyone drew dragons, obviously, until it got to Cecilia.

Senior looked at what Jillian drew, and saw, to no ones surprise, a dragon. He then wrote that Cecilia had to draw a dragon. This is where the joy ends and everyone becomes sad. I’ve been friends with Cecilia for eight years and she has never struck me as a person who could draw well. However, I did not know how absolutely lacking she was in the art area.

I was the person after Cecilia, so I had to guess what she drew so that Ethan Macnamera could draw the next thing. Tragically Cecilia’s drawing was just the worst thing ever. It was supposed to be a dragon. To me it looked like a demented fish spewing water. But she labeled whatever was coming out of its mouth “fuego” so I guessed “fish breathing fire” because the word dragon escaped me.

So yes. I guessed fire breathing fish, which Ethan then had to draw, and Clio had to guess. So Pedro’s word ended up going from dragon to fried egg real quick.

I don’t have that much else to say, but I need another five hundred words so I better get cracking.

After this class I have a math quiz that I am probably not going to do well on. Last night’s homework was a struggle. I only got two of the ten questions right, and that’s exactly what the quiz is on. So it’s going to be a fun quiz to say the least.

I did get to go to breakfast this morning though. I’ve been doing this with my friends for almost a year now. We pick random days to get up at around 5:30 and go get breakfast at Breen’s Diner before school. Breen’s opens at 6, and we meet there at 6:05. The waitress knows us and what we usually order now. Probably because we are the only group of teens who dare to get up before they must.

I have to say though, that I would not be able to do this every day. I get so tired. And it’s also expensive. Today I got to take a nap during yoga though so that helped me re-charge and be able to function for C block and D block.

`Ms. Gounis just sat down to talk to Marissa over me and it’s very distracting. I think I had an idea of where this was going but now I have completely forgotten. I have my headphones on, but this is not helping to block out everything they’re saying so that’s fun. I can’t stop writing though because then I’ll never get this done and I’d feel really weird just sitting here and eavesdropping.

I keep thinking of things to say and forgetting. Lorde is not able to drown out the sounds of this conversation. I have slightly over 200 words left and I have no idea what I’m going to say for them.

I’ve been watching a lot of Law and Order SVU lately. There are so many seasons and I can binge them so easily that it is preventing me from doing much else. I don’t have to be doing anything for college right now because I sent in all my early applications, so I feel like I can just watch t.v. all day, but I still can’t because I have so much else I still have to do. Speaking of college though, I paid college board to send them my SAT scores over a week ago but they still haven’t arrived. Unfortunately, the college dudes have also noticed this and deigned it necessary to email me saying that my applications were incomplete.

So thank you admissions people, for adding stress to my life. I can’t do anything about the fact that the SAT scores have not arrived yet. I paid to send them. Now they just have to arrive. Please leave me alone.

I played photo roulette with Clarissa and Sydney Adams during lunch today and it was super fun. I would not recommend this to anyone who has screenshots of texts though, because those screenshots may appear and expose you.

I do not speak from the personal experience of being exposed, but I felt the public should know what they may be getting themselves into. Because photo roulette does not discriminate.

I’ve finished with the words and that means I should stop procrastinating and start studying for my math quiz. I really don’t want to though, so I might just take a nap.
