Hello to everyone around the world!

I have had such an amazing day today, especially tonight. BUT, let's start of tonight's entry with the news of the day.

This morning was pretty crazy, my classes were OK, but my friends were ecstatic. The majority of them were out of control. SERIOUSLY. They were all off the wall. I'm guessing they drank too many Coca-Colas the night before. Computer Science was fun with James, Drew, Fernando, and Braxton. Those guys are so cool to hang around with. We had so much fun making C++ programs on the computers. We laughed at the results because "WE KNOW COMEDY!"


The afternoon was the best. Lunch went on as it usually does, but today the Library was closed and that was a big bummer for me. I love to get the daily paper and I did not have a chance to do it today. But, it was no big deal. In Chemistry, we watched the "Atoms and Elements" video. That movie is "off the chain" bizarre. I mean it makes some pretty unusual references to sex and homosexuality in that video. It is very strange. In World History, however, we watched a group video of a made up Greek myth. It was LAUGH OUT LOUD HILARIOUS. I just couldn't stop laughing because it was so clever and witty the whole time. At the end of Algebra Two, Chris paid me a dollar to do a dance for the class. Ms. Van Heerden agreed and everyone loved the "moves."

I love to dance, I should tell you. The football game tonight was the best one this season. I talked with over 20 girls and I am still so pumped up from the game. It was quite exuberant. At halftime, I danced in the stands, while the Dance Team was on the field. The whole audience loved my performance. YEAH! This was a special night for the football team because Jamal Brown, a special needs student, played his first football game for the Varsity football team for the very first time in his life!!!! I was so excited to see him play. I am glad that he puts in a lot of effort and energy into his game play. The other special education students made signs in his support. It was really moving. Plus, Jamal made a tackle during the game. EVERYONE IN THE STANDS WAS CHEERING FOR HIM! He was very glad and happy for it.

Dear Lord, Thank you for the gift of Jamal Brown. He is such an inspiration to everyone at Mann. I thank you for his presence and his strong effort and willingness to succeed.
