One of these things is not like the other. I think that a few of these items were related to the headache that led me to sleep from 3:30 p.m. Friday until 7 this morning, but that’s another story. Perhaps it was MSG, the WASL, terrorism tension, or dehydration from soccer. All I know is that it’s the weekend, WASL is over, my headache is gone, and so are my leftovers. And co-rec soccer with Aaron’s company is fun and fast-paced, though tiring. I am sore from playing, but I like being able to break a sweat again! The last organized activity I was in was hip hop dance in January.

So let me back up. I proctored the Math and Science WASL this week from Tuesday to Friday. Monday a search was out on a student who was reported to have a gun. Tuesday morning we had an emergency meeting about it. All week we had new information surrounding the VA Tech shooting and copycat attacks throughout the nation. Thursday we had another emergency meeting with news of a possible bomb threat on a Seattle secondary school, but we were to play it cool and read a vague letter to our class explaining safety measures. News of the threat spread quickly to students and grew out of proportion, making 5th period difficult to control and making Friday’s attendance quite low for the WASL and downright sparse for 6th period.

So…headache indeed. I slept it away and now I am as good as new, although sleepy again (15 minutes shy of midnight!).
