My Feet Are Killing Me

Aww, today. Very interesting, at least from my perspective.

To start it off, I wore my new Burberry flats that my mommy bought me (bless her) which started off just feeling perfect. I felt very comfortable with them paired with just jeans and a black t-shirt. So, my Advanced Algebra class starts off pretty good. Took a team test that I feel we did very well on. Anyways, during passing, I try to find Hillary to show her my new shoes (Obviously, not to gloat!) but fail in doing so. I head to the gym but see a sign about meeting in the Library, but I didn't know if that meant just for the period or SSR as well. So, I head back up to the main floor. There I find Allison, who, incidentally, also had no idea where we go. We decided to walk to the Library to see if anyone else from the class was present. They weren't. I asked the librarian if she had any idea. Sadly, she didn't, but advised we go back down to the gym and find a real teacher to ask for help. As we walk out, a big group of guys (and Jamie) walk into the library and say that another teacher in the gym said that Milligan/Horaski wanted us in the library. We all sit and wait... and wait... and wait, until finally Mr. Milligan found us and directed us back to the gym.

Anyways! Everyone had to take the CBA up in the library, except for me. I had to fill out some paper about body image, metabolism, injuries, etc. It actually wasn't as boring as first thought led me to believe. When everyone was done, we got to hang out in the library for the rest of the period. Haha. Cameron came up to us going on about some belly dancing book he found that came with "You know, those 'chang' 'chang' 'chang' things" Meanwhile doing a little dance. It was a highlight.

Meanwhile, my feet are starting to throb. I check my heels to see what's going on. To my dismay, I have horrible blisters on my feet (Ah, the pains of being a woman.) I went to the nurse to get band aids, but they didn't help in the least bit. I went though lunch with the pain, but looked forward to slipping my shoes off during 3rd period and letting my feet free. Now, usually, I do absolutely nothing during this class, but today they sent me on an seemingly impossible task of finding these 2 kids to give them notes from their parents. The idea of putting my shoes back on and wondering the school was not music to my ears, but more like a cat in a heat, trapped inside of a cage. I look through the database to find the two siblings. Wrote down their classroom number, and started out.

We're going on an adventure!

I tried to find the boy first, seeing as I saw his class wasn't downstairs in the gym, but easily accessible, and seeing as I was ready to tear off my own feet, that seemed more appealing. I read the room number '204,' "Sweet, I know where that is!"

Ha, it's funny how God plays tricks on you. I think he just wants us to realize that laughter is best way to handle the small things.

I drop the note off only to be chased down the hall by a student informing me that no such student existed in that class. "Ugh. More walking!" I say to myself. But, I shrug my shoulders and just head straight to the girl's class. So, I painfully walk to the gym. I ask the teacher if she had that student. Again, more disappointment. She tells me that, even though the database states that room '702' is a gym class, it's actually the band room. I'm ready to cry. So, I go the band room where I find there is no teacher anywhere in sight. So, I ask the students if this girl was in this class. They all let me know she doesn't have band this period. Gay. I walk back to the main office.

We try again on a different system. Ahh. The guy is in Autoshop. The girl is in gym, but with a different teacher.

I walk back to the gym. Every step is one more closer to a breakdown. I find that the class is out on the field. I head outside and down the stairs. FOUND THE GIRL! Then return up the stairs to find the other kid. Ha! Every door was locked. All doors to gym refused to allow my passage though. So, I walk around the building (Yup, around the building) to find the nearest open door. Eventually, I found one and got back to my adventure through the school. Now, apparently the autoshop class in the 500 building, but, as I walked through the 500 building, there is no '553' anywhere. After circling around the building maybe 2 or 3 times, I head back to the office to find where in the world God was taking me. As I read the map, I see that room '553' was in the 600 building. Yea... that makes a lot of sense. I head back to that building.

Ahhhh... this goes on forever. Now, I can hear their voices very easily, but finding the door was a whole other problem. I circle a bit then find a main door. But, I can't get it open. I'm ready to cuss the door out, blame it for all my problems and maybe give it a swift kick. But, somebody came by and was able to get it for me. I finally find the class, thus completing my mission.

All in all, today was okay. I had a really great time with Pastor Nik and Frank ( "You're going to get herpes on your feet!!!!" ) and then a decent time at quiz. At least, better than usual. Andrew and I completely screwed around the whole time, which annoyed Anna to no end. But, I like having fun and we weren't being crazy. Hahahahaha, plus, I found out that Rich, Evan, and myself all share an equally dirty mind... on many subjects! That was the best part of the night.

I hope everyone else had an eventful night!
