User blog:Zorro T. Dracoyena/You would not BELIEVE what HAPPENED to ME toDAY!

I had such an insane day at school that I just had to write about it!

So nothing really happened in 1st period, but halfway through 2nd period we all heard a weird noise (I think it was just the heater kicking on.) One of the guys in my US History class asked what it was and Mr. Boyd said - with a completely serious tone - "It's a helicopter coming to drop off some Muslims.  They're gonna come busting through that window in a few minutes." I'm not sure if it was the same person or someone different, but somebody asked what we were going to do when the Muslims came. Mr. Boyd's answer was: "That's what the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet for. It's where I keep all the sawed off shotguns so we can hold our own for a few hours until someone comes."

Then in lunch (I have 1st lunch which is right at the start of 3rd period) Cody has been trying to get me to sit with him and his peeps (which are mostly girls including a Chinese exchange student) for about 2 or 3 weeks. Today, they stole all of the chairs from my "Island of Isolation," but this plan backfired when I popped Cody in the back of the head, called him an idiot, and took my chair back. This morning, a certain dipstick hadn't left enough turkey for me to make a sandwich so I ended up using some bologna from a pack of stuff for subs. That was the freakin' 2nd worst sandwich I had ever eaten! Then some old lady from the Beaufort County Community College came up to me and asked if I was interested in learning about the nursing program. I was like, "Not really..." I was just being honest and she merrily went on her way to ask some girls at a nearby table. That actually wasn't too strange, I've been asked similar things before. It was the fact that that lady closely resembled Petal!

Ah, 3rd period. Spanish 2 was particularly interesting today because apparently either Aldo, Faunecia, or Ali got a pack of sticky notes from the nurse lady at lunch and they were making name tags for other people in the class. Amanda wore one that said "I am Nikki Minaj." Faunecia (a black girl) was Taylor Swift; Ali (a white girl) was Beyonce; I'm not sure if Aldo had one; Chad had one that started with a "B" but I don't know what it actually said; Paige was Queen Latifa; D first got one that said "Bruno Mars" but got a different one; I can't remember what Jessie's said; and I had one that said "Ke$ha." We were supposed to be talking about the history of Spain, and I was Ke$ha.

We only spent about 10 minutes in 4th period because today we had to go to the gym and sit on those hard bleachers while a handful of students took on a handful of staff members in a series of volleyball matches. However, 10 minutes in Parenting and Child Development was still long enough for me and Elizabeth to do our Bon Qui Qui impressions for the day. Just before the first match started, a guy named Pedro who was dressed as a pirate with purple and gold bandanas and stuff (he turned out to be the actual mascot guy from ECU) led the student competitors out. Then our mascot came out with a ridiculous little flimsy sword and tried to fight the pirate through the volleyball matches. Our panther even got some of the people sitting on the bleachers to fight Pedro and they eventually tied him up and led him to the front corner of the gym after parading him around the court. A few minutes after the pirate was released, both he and our panter got to serve the volleyball. Unfortunately, our panther did a terrible job which resulted in him being knocked out and dragged out of the gym by the pirate. The pirate soon came back in with our mascot's head and put it up on one of the poles that held the volleyball net.

So that was my day. It was quite excellent, but this is actually pretty typical. -Zorro
