Everything all jumbled together...the way I like it
Jelly Bellies are the single coolest creation ever. I've been having fun eating them one by one for the past 5 minutes. It's amazing how you can make a little ball of sugar and goo taste exactly like toasted marshmallows or butter popcorn.
We went to the auditorium yesterday during African American Literature and listened to a Holocaust survivor's story. It was surprisingly boring. He spent more time talking about the minor injustices before he was actually thrown in Auchwitz than the time that he spent in the concentration camp. When we were walking out a kid (who happened to be Asian if that matters to some people) asked his teacher a very relevant question. It was "Why are there Holocaust museums but there aren't any slavery museums?" I think the teacher tried to explain it but I didn't have time to listen. It is a very good question, however, and I wish I could have heard his response.
I got my Frederick Douglass book report back. Got a 96 on it. I was fairly pleased. If I would have proofread it I would have caught the spelling and grammatical errors and maybe gotten a higher grade. June got the same score as me and she didn't even read her book. Hers said "good report" while mine said "excellent report" though. Hahaha... It's been a competition between her and I. Seeing who could get the higher grade. So far she's gotten 1 point higher than me (she got a 95 on the essay that I started crying while I was writing because I thought it was so terrible), but I'll upstage her someday.
When he gave it to me he asked if I had ever done a report on it before. It happened earlier this year when I wrote a summary on "Wit" referring to Vivian Bearing as a "former professor turned lab rat." It's strange...every time I do a pretty good job he thinks that I'm using someone else's words...
