Did I ever mention that one of my poems is going into The Sound, FU's literary magazine? of all the ones i sent it, they took "änti-physics", the poem i wrote for mr luddy after i purposely bombed the ap physics test. i was kind of surprised that that was the one they wanted, but i suppose it is different. not many people write poems about science, i guess. i'm going to see Class Act tomorrow night. this bunch of people i was sitting with at lunch today wereall raving about how great it was, and i asked if there was a poem that they did over and over, about rain, and they said that part came out really well. that's my little six line "rainy day", which everyone in the cast performs once in their own interpretation. they all know that i'm wendy's roommate, so they've been asking her about the "deeper meaning"of the poem. sadly, there isn't one; i wrote it in about three minutes in junior year because i needed another free verse poem to add to my portfolio for creative writing class. it wasn't even raining that day, i don't think. i'm excited to see how they all turn out. my mom declined to come down, naturally. i don't know whether she would have enjoyed it anyway. 'she's always encouraged my writing, but in truth i don't think she's read anything i've written outside of voices. some things i would not let her see, like the poems about my dad, just because it would be too strange. we talk about it often, but sometimes in my poems i let the anger or the grief take over, and i wouldn't want her to get the wrong idea. i don't know. poetry can just be so very personal, and my mom definitely doesn't really know me, not the way my friends do. i don't know her either, which is why i am continually surprised when i find out new things about her life. i guess i don't want to tempt her with the idea that there's something more to me, something that she should be involved in or find out, because i don't think i would be comfortable with that. things are pretty good just as they are.

time for spanish class, the last real class of the semester. it's too bad, i like senora knight. when i first got into the class, i thought i'd never make it because everything was in spanish, everyone seemed to be better than i was. i seriously almost dropped it. i'm glad i didn't, because honestly it's been pretty easy. time to go!
