Bug Bites and Drama August 1980

 

August 25

"A bug bit me three times today and my foot is swollen up real big because of it.  I might not be able to take PE tomorrow depending on if it's better or worse."

"Today was a confusing, surprising, mad, queer, fun filled day.  Well you might say interesting.  Well lets take that one step at a time.

1.  Confusing -- I didn't know whether or not I'd be taking gym going to the doctor or what.  Mrs. Hamilton wants me to work in the library and I can't decide whether or not to -- (It's like playing tug-a-war.  One side of me wants to work in the library.  The other side wants to stay in study hall.  Oh well in that part I'm a big BIG ? (Question Mark)

2.  Surprising -- When M. kept calling herself stupid in Algebra (I very highly disagreed with her).  When they called me to the office and told me not to ride the bus my Mom will pick me up to go to the doctor."

3.  Mad.  I was mad when M. called herself stupid and when she quite left me out talking to other people and acting like everything I said was unimportant.

4.  queer -- Mr. G. let me take P.E. in my flip flops -- (that made everyone stare).

5.  fun filled -- Chip said hi -- WOW! While I got on the bus someone stepped on the bottom of my flip flops and made me trip.  The bus driver asked what I'd been drinking.  I said nothing.  Later on Melanie asked me what I'd been drinking I told her milk.  Then I was in a goofy mood and said What Have I been drinking?  Then it hit me!! I HAD Been Drinking Apple JUICE!

6.  Interesting All of these things smushed together!
