Today I saw an old man use a trash claw to pick up twigs and branches on the sidewalk after school in such bleak weather. At that moment, a) I wanted to see my grandma b) I wanted to magically pull out an extra trash claw from somewhere to help him c) I was still madly in love with old folks.

I managed to finish my math homework, write out the script for tomorrow's skit for U.S. History, research the point-of-view assignment for Euro, understand my Spanish homework, and make an online poll for the Fantastics theme tonight. I even practiced piano for a bit (and that rarely happens on weekdays). I think I just want to get back into the habit of sleeping either by 10 or before 11:30 pm. I don't know how long this routine will last but I'm hoping for awhile until I have to get back on the run again for intense long nights of preparations for Fantastics and Prom. Right now, I am just hoping that Ms. Kennett will read my email (s) by tomorrow morning. I want to be able to WAKE UP IN THE MORNIN' and ...not have to refresh the School Loop home page again. Too many refreshes in one night.
