ahh, friday
Sep. 10th, 2004 07:55 pmFirst friday of the school year, and I was looking toward it with all my heart. Now that it's friday, I feel much better. All I can say is, it's gonna be a LONG bad year, but hey, it's all good.
So my schedule has finally been solved, it ends up that I don't get a lunch, and that I'll eat a lil during AP calculus (same time as 1st lunch), and then run to band right before the bell rings (same time as second lunch). I'm happy also cause Ms. Gill admitted that she was a dimwit.
2 lessons I learned about people from this week:
1)Reverse psycology is frequently used by teachers and students (towards each other) effectively as well. (from Mr. Daniels in a very geniune tone, "please, I'm all about people's opinions, I want you to tell me what you think and express youself as an individual with different beliefs". As well as from me, "No, I really don't think I can learn math and eat at same time very well, so I'll just bring in a powerbar or something to get by." Ms. Mickelson replies, "No Ted, I don't want you skipping a meal, I want you eating while doing your quiz problems")
2)When one wants to apologize to another, complimenting them or flattering them can speed up the forgiveness process, instead of the self-beating. Because people are selfish creatures, they don't care about you feeling frustrated and angry at yourself, they care about themselves. (Not that I want to be complimented, but Ms. Gill does not grasp this concept)
So now I'm all happy again, and sry about releasing my anger on administration on you instead Ella, since you were going through an emotional time as well. (now for the compliment) I think you handled it much better than I did.
Anyways, today is my birthday, I spent most of my left over time playing some long awaited fetch with my dog, and I won't be going to the football game, cause I'm very tired.
