Apex

Hooray For Apex

Apex tryouts are coming up on Wednesday and I'm actually pretty excited about it. It's something new to the week, and if I made the team it would just mean so much (I'll probably kill myself for writing this if I don't make it, but eh).

Many people have showed some support towards me trying out for Apex, and I'm glad that I'll be walking in with that in mind. Along with the tryouts, I also might bump into a few friends at the first tryout (which is located at Van Tech), so that's another thing to look forward to. Tryouts span over three days (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), so it'll be something to keep me busy for the next while (and that's all that matters now).

What Else...?

I was appalled by what happened today in the last block. I heard rumours going around about some sort of "sex ed" assembly for the ninth graders around lunch and asked my third block teacher about it (because my last block is a grade 10 block). She confirmed it and I asked to excused from my math class. The announcements went on calling for the boys to go to the dance studio and the girls tot he library. Anyhow, that sets the back story.

There were two bodies of chairs, each being about five by six. Being the first there I grabbed a seat near the middle rows in the right side. My friend (let's just call him A for simplicity and privacy) quickly filled in and my other friend (you can probably guess, B) went in after him, making me closest to the outside.

So over the course of last year and what has been the span of this year so far, I've heard that B was being picked on and was left out because of something (details of that I wouldn't share if I knew). However I didn't know how bad it was. Some other guys started throwing stuff at B and I don't know if I imagined it or anything, but it looked like he was on the verge of tears.

I actually felt like just picking a fight with the guys over on the other side, but that's not exactly the best way of solving stuff, so I just said quietly for B to switch seats with me and he sat between me and A (who had shifted to the outermost chair). And that was that. I feel good about what I did. I think I did the right thing.

Going To Cram Study

Chemistry test tomorrow means cram studying tonight. I'll probably just review a lot of Hebden AP Chem notes and barely get an A on the test tomorrow. Organic chem is just something that I don't particularly like. Actually, maybe I do, but I just don't spend enough time getting to know it. Kind of like first impressions.

Here's an early goodnight for you (goodnight!). It's been a nice day today. Weather's also very cold, but pretty. I'm an 8 today. Slowly getting there, but I don't think I'll ever be a 10. Who knows though?
