Anywhoooooo...
I'm excited because I think I actually did decently on my Islam midterm! Of course, those could be famous last words, but I'm thinking they're not. And I'm excited because we only have four grades in that class, so doing well on the midterm is a good idea. Wheeeee!
Then I went to fencing and got my butt totally kicked by this really nice girl. It was awesome because she's amazingly fast and it's been a while since I lost so completely and utterly. I hope I get to fence her a lot, and then maybe someday I will be as fast and cool as she is. I had a lesson with Gamil and I fleched- it was SCARY!- and he told me to work on my footwork because I'm really slow. I think he thinks I'm really dumb because I don't follow directions well. But I always kinda freak out during my lesson and try really hard and just end up looking stupid. It's good times. Also, I want to say "yes, sir" after everything he says, and I don't really know why. Hold over from Kung Fu? I dunno.
Warning to all fencers: I'm gonna come back knowing crazy funky moves like the balestra lunge (remember when Joel tried to teach us that? Yeah, we learned it today) and I'm hoping I might actually win sometimes on a regular basis. However, I worry about losing my directing ability (it's all electric here, so all you have to do mostly is look at the lights, lazy, lazy, lazy) and having my lovely form go down the tubes. Gamil is kinda pro-good form, though, so maybe it won't. It's just, have you ever seen a competition fencer with good form? No. So, I'm worried.
Anywho, after that I came home, took the fastest shower I've ever taken, and went to Pom for our second production meeting. Yay! Then I cam back here, ate RAAAAAAMEN from Syracuse, talked to Kelly (ppps- cw + e forever) and then went to As You Like It, a hilarious play by Shakespeare for all of you uninformed people out there, and, though it had a few glitches, it was really really funny. And for probably the same uninformed people out there, I've never read or seen the play before and I still got all the jokes, so you don't have to be some crazy Shakespeare scholar to see this play and enjoy it.
Now I is back here, waiting for my Spring Roll, which should be arriving in about 10 minutes, and then I shall pretend to take a chunk out of the miles and miles of work I have to do, but really I won't.
Then I'll go to bed, and all will be well with the world.

oh man, you are the best person in the world. I liked when you said ppps cw + e 4e and I also liked it when it was RAAAAAMEN from Syracuse!!
I hate when it turns out I don't know how to fence. I hate that! I mean we're hardcore awesome fencers back home so much that we don't hafta prove it to anyone because everyone just knows and I think they should just know we're sweet here too. lol. I wish I remembered foil. Today Mike tried to teach me right of way in foil (because he says I'm a moron epeeist without rules or right of way) and I was like "I knooooow" shoot.
I also hate it when people look BEAUTIFUL when they fence...but they waste it on ugly weapons and do ugly moves and drunken fencing. I hate them!!
