The Second Quest of The Adventure Galley

Hello darlings. How are you on this fine spring day? I am having a fantastic day. Both the math and writing OGTs were quite easy and I'm confident in my results from that. We had no drama in Biology like we did yesterday. I promise I will explain later. And Rachel, Matt, Garry and I all skipped our seventh period study hall to hang out in the auditorium to avoid the wrath of our study hall supervisor. I'll explain more about that later too. But now, on to Idol and 16 & Pregnant.

On Idol it was Rolling Stones week. I though that, like usual, only 3-4 people did really well and the rest were okay with a few people who were terrible. I thought Lee and Crystal did well as usual. I also thought that Lacey did well even though they thought it was just ok. Tonight is elimination and Ke$ha is performing with 3OH!3, Orianthi is performing and someone else is too but I forget who it is.
On 16 & pregnant last night our lovely mom to be was Lori from Kentucky. She was adopted and didn't want to have to put her baby through that but in the end she did. They named the baby Aiden, which is the best boy name so far this season. Also we are now 1/5 on supportive baby daddies. Though this guy reminded me of a guy who used to go to my school that Ellen dated, he was an okay guy for most of the episode and was sad when he had to see their baby go.

So Biology yesterday was the most intense, overly-dramatic it has ever been. Because OGTs are in the morning and we have Bio 5th period, we have been going to class all week. We have been using the time to review all the concepts that could be on the OGT. Yesterday we were reviewing the life sciences part of the book which consists of cell structure, DNA and genetics. So at the beginning of class Mr. O was like "Okay, this next chapter is the life sciences chapter of the book. It's biology, which is what this whole class is about." To this Traci* said, "Well then why are we reviewing it?" I'm not sure if she was being serious or not but it caused Mr. O to start getting angry. So he says to the class, "Can anyone tell me why we would be reviewing this?" So I say, "Because review benefits everybody and..." and before I could finish my sentence, Traci said, "I didn't want to hear it from you, I wanted to hear it from him." And right after that Tanya* says, "(in referring to me speaking) It's like she read my mind!" So Mr. O is really mad at this point and he closes his book, sits back in his chair and says, " Ok you guys read the next two lessons by yourselves because I'm done." The rest of the class period was silent and I couldn't help but feel bad for him. I knew that it had to have been a breaking point for him because I felt it too. I have seen a lot of student to teacher disrespect but this was beyond anything I had seen. Today was quite and nice and we accomplished a lot during class. Our science test is tomorrow and then no more review.

Arrgh matey's! I have another tale to tell ye from The Adventure Galley. I'm now going to stop speaking in pirate. So today Isabella Topanga and myself along with two other scoundrels from our 7th period study hall skipped class and hung out in the Lagoon and exploring its numerous caverns. We found a whole bunch of little Eiffel Tower magnets from a thousand proms ago and the photo books from last year along with yards and yard of different fabrics they've used to decorate for prom, a giant can of glitter, spray paint and detention records from two years ago. Because the have the set for the play assembled on stage we were pretending that we lived in the house and hid up in the little tiny projector room in the back. We also devised an escape plan in the event that we ever wanted to just leave the school via window. We plan on going back again but I'm not sure when. Hopefully Mistress Tiger Lily and her parrot, Lady Margarine, will join us.

Also, because it is St. Patrick's Day, I had a friend who wore a kilt to school. A male friend. I have been scarred for life. Write Soon!
