hilarious day.

christian service was such a joke.
1) i am not christian.
2) i did not serve any purpose.

so evin, kevin, and i drive to esek hopkins middle school (which, for some inexplicable reason i always want to call "ethan hawke"... i guess it's not that inexplicable. he's hot, and they both start with e.) for 9 o'clock. we then got split up. i would be in one of the 7th grade english classrooms. the teacher kind of stuck me in the back of the room whilst she quizzed/tested galore and vocab-ed it up. over the course of the two hours i read one of my favorite books- hatchet by gary paulsen. the whole thing.

now, e.h.m.s. is in the heart of providence. inner inner city, if you will. i was in the minority for the first time in my life, which i am honestly completely fine with. as i was leaving, one of the kids- jibrelle- who had entered the class wearing a doo-rag and proclaiming he was 'gangster, just like [my] cousin'- called me casper. i laughed it off and said i preferred jess, thanks. he smiled at me and said he didnt care that i was "pasty." i said i didnt either. then he asked me what his english homework was (he had just been informed of it 30 seconds earlier, i chalked it up to bad short term memory- get the kid some ginko!). he asked if i still wanted to come back next week or if i was going to change my christian service location now that i had seen the class. i said he wasn't getting rid of me that easily. i think i have made a new friend.

we returned a la escuela. i was in such a good mood (i had forgotten how good hatchet was, i guess) and spent an excellent lunch period with jon, madeleine, and char. madeleine and i downed our diet cokes as if it were the nectar of the gods. oh wait yes. it is! afterwards, corey, lauren, and i met with an admissions officer from upenn. i was expecting it to be Hot Admissions Officer Dan from may's presentation, but, alas, it wasnt. nonetheless, it was very informative and helpful. i'd love to go to a school like upenn.

we had a lab in physics today. corey was my partner and we had to measure a 3x5 index card. i LOVE physics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's the best thing ever.

after school i went to work. they gave me free ice cream and a check that i had entirely forgotten about. seriously. it doesn't get much better. j. crew paisley blazer here i come.

when i came home my mom told me about a cranston firefighter who was working the primary polls at an elementary school yesterday and got caught smoking pot in the little boy rooms. i think that is so fucking classic. i couldn't stop laughing; good for that guy. i told patty to ask her dad if he knows any good ganja dealers.

ryan PR-ed yesterday and i am positively ridiculously proud of him.

i found out today we dont have any classes on friday due to the dedication of the science center. this = wickedfrigginhot.

nick gave me two cd's today- the postal service and deathcab. i am so jolly.

ap music theory and ap calc tests tomorrow. i'm so nervous about the theory... i bought a 20 dollar book to help me.
