this was supposed to WORK!

in my latin teleconference today, we were supposed to be playing a practical joke on my teacher. we were going to act like another class when he came in (discussing the Iliad) and then tell him at the end of class. but it backfired. phil got a tip-off from the head of the teleconference division that something was up. *sighs* now we need a different joke to play...i have an idea, and i think it will work. (i hope) but the planning was fun. it's kind of interesting...i used to think, when i was in public schools, that if i couldn't see my friends five days a week (or more), then the friendship would disappear. then my parents started homeschooling us. NOW only one of my friends lives closer than 10 minutes away. two live ten minutes away; one an hour, and then the rest are all a nice long drive...like, out of state. (well, except for bill - but i haven't been to galesburg in three years.) it makes you appreciate email and other technologies like the internet that much more, because we can stay in closer (and cheaper!) contact with each other.

yah, and then i walked my feet off. i usually only walk for about an hour to an hour and a half at work. but today, it was really boring. to keep myself alert, i walked for 3 hours. either barefoot or in flip-flops. on tile. ow. ah, the joys of lifeguarding...but truly, i like my job. i dare you to name five other jobs (other as in not lifeguarding) in illinois where you can wear shorts, flip-flops, a shirt (as long as it doesn't get too hot) and a swimsuit in sub-freezing temperatures and still get hot. :-D a good job for someone who gets cold as easily as i do. *nods head sagely*
