To document the best day of my life...

The Best Day in the World. Ever.

[in a bulleted list]

  • It all started with the choice of outfit. Black pencil skirt, white collared shirt, black and white heels. The best bag that I own--the breifcase.
  • Independence in the form of a car and an egg and cheese croissant.
  • Realizing that my headphones broke... on the only week where I will virtually never be taking the bus.
  • A second block prep period in which Mr Luck and created an epic tale of the Field of Awesome (Mr Luck: red, Mrs Jackson: blue, Shelby: silver sparkles, Me: gold sparkles) using the "next" technique. I would give the intro and when it was his turn to add on say "next." Details of the actual storyline to follow.
  • A not too shabby grade on the Latin Test it was assumed I had failed. (88%)
  • A rather nice lunch outside in which I ate dried cherries. Wonderful.
  • Magistra telling us that she had never tried and will never try Ben and Jerry's ice cream because she's afriad she'll get addicted to it and will have to be sent to ice cream rehab.
  • A test in fourth block where I actually tried and may have done quite well on if my interpretation of Wallace Stephens' poem was correct.
  • An after school experience of glory. We discussed the stupid people on sound-off, voted on which of the conceptual physics cranes would win tomorrow. Mr Luck and I had our elbows inches away while laughing and pointing at the Belgium physics conference in 1911. Finding Mr Burley's face in the physics conference of 1911. Looking at Mrs Jackson's new screensaver which has all the constellations rotating in a sphere. Mr Luck and I "discovered" we are both pisces--and that we dominate nearly 1/3 of the sphere. Mrs Jackson knows more constellations than I do. Impressive. Discovering that Mr Luck and I laughed at all the same times and found the same things funny. Watching young children sing "Viva la Vida" and some Scottish lady sing a song that Mr Luck was humming afterwards in his room.
  • The best goodbye one could ever hope for. A look over the shoulder, eyes glowing, a sincere "Have a good night" and an earnest "you too".
  • Getting a pedicure and only being able to think about the multi-verse soap bubble theory.
  • Hearing "Accidentally in Love" on the way home and hoping that everyone in the Field was somehow magically hearing it too.
  • A cheesburger with... bacon?! Yes.
  • Presumably, an excellent episode of Fringe. (It's only 7.)
Overall A+.
