Letters to My Parents 2

This is for yesterday, I forgot to tell you:

Yesterday in Buckner's he was super angry. We walked in the door and he glared at us and sharply told us the instructions. He didn't explain, he didn't even make fun of anybody. He was dead serious. We got a long list of questions and he told us to "Stop talking and get to work." Then he sat at his computer and continued to glare and stare at us, then harshly reprimand anyone who was a millimeter out of line. People who stopped writing for a second got nearly yelled at. Jesse Dehnert got a detention for nothing. You’re probably thinking that Buckner has finally tipped over the edge and needs to get fired soon. Not the case, surprisingly. As you know we are reading the book 1984 by George Orwell. It is about a man who is living under a Totalitarian Dictatorship. Buckner was giving us a small taste of what it would be like to live under a totalitarian dictatorship. Jesse already knew what was going to happen. It was pretty cool actually. Angela's English teacher had already done that. He had been the first so nobody knew that it was only a simulation. Maebori's class (Angela's teacher) had told everybody what had happened, so when Buckner did this on Friday I automatically thought of that. I knew it wasn't real, but there were other kids who did. Anisha almost starting crying. Then we talked about it and its meaning and stuff. I thought that it was really cool and I forgot to tell you.

For Today:

Last night I had a dream that I was in young women’s. I was holding a can and the can had a little powder on the top. I wanted to get it off so I turned it upside down and shook it. Well you know how things in dreams are never as they seem so when I shook, it was like a salt shaker and the powder just kept coming out. ****** and ****** were there and they freaked out told me that I had ruined the lesson and stormed out. There weren’t very many girls there, but everyone who was there left too. I didn't understand why it was such a big deal. I knew that there was a little vacuum under the counter. I put the vacuum together and vacuumed the pinkish powder up and it wasn't a big deal. I went out to the hall and told ****** and ****** that it was all cleaned up and that it wasn't a big deal. I can't remember what exactly they said to me; the gist was that I was stupid and inconsiderate. I hadn't known that the pink powder was going to come out, that there would be so much. ******* was there and she was disappointed in me as well.

I woke up at about 9:45 and didn't remember that I had to go babysitting. Lolly knocked on the door after I had chi'd my hair and put my make-up on. Valerie called down to me and told me that she was here. I had to rush. I went upstairs to get some clothes and I got dressed, ate breakfast and then just waited. I finally left at around 10:20ish. The kids were mostly good. I had a fun time and Lolly told me about a hundred times how grateful she was that I was doing this. I told her that she was just helping me get my Bee and that these were the first hours I had gotten. I'm going to count it as three hours even though it was a little more than that.

When I got home I had some lunch and then helped Valerie clean the kitchen. I went downstairs and Sabrina was watching Sanctuary. Valerie came down and told me that she had all of this crafting/ scrapbooking stuff that I could use to make cards with. There were tons of stamps and pads. The pads were pretty dried out, but I still made a lot of cute cards. They had some Martha Stewart paper that was SUPER DUPER cute! I love it. The Pictures are on my blog:

So I made all of these cards and that is pretty much it. We started Amadeus when I started making cards and am watching it now.

I really like it here and want to stay for more than one week.

Oh! And when I talked to Buckner about not ruining my book yesterday he was nice about it and stuff.

I miss not being able to play the piano... and singing like a crazy person. Well, I think that that is all I can think of right now... I'll send another e-mail if I think of anything else... or maybe I will just include it in tomorrow's email.

Love you guys! DON’T FORGET TO SEND A POSTCARD!!

Jess
