Second Snow of the Season

At the moment it is precisely 3:20 in the afternoon, so that means that I've got exactly thirty-nine sweet minutes to spend in the library before my second go-around of Algebra 070 officially begins at four o' clock. The class will end at 6:20 tonight, by the way, which will mean that this Algebra class will be the longest-lasting one I've ever been made to take yet.

It may very well also make for just about the longest-lasting headache I've ever had, too...At least I actually know where the class will be taking place, this time. It's in Room 211B, located right at the entrance to the Elm Building, and I believe that my new teacher's name is Kindle, or something like that. I really do hope that this new person will know how to teach math a lot better than Michele Hammond ever did. I hate to admit it, of course, but I still feel quite hummiliated over just dropping out of Mrs. Hammond's class like that, with almost no warning whatsoever. I feel as though I've let Michele down, though near the end of last semester, she told me time and time again that I didn't do any such thing.

Now, in the space of only about twenty-six minutes as I compose this current posting, I can forsee an Algebra class which will be totally wrought by a teacher who will most likely be another bad one, more of that killing MathXL nonsense, as well as the continous, half-formed words of Flogging Molly's song "Laura" drifting detachedly in and out of my fatigued mind. Later this evening, once my first day back at school for this semester is finally over and done with, I'll be attempting to number the various aliens from the corner of my narrow air mattress upstairs while Flogging Molly is unhappily replaced by other half-formed things, such as waking dreams of me ringing up people's heavy groceries over at Ingles...Oh, I'm so tired, I can hardly stand it...

But the clock has already struck 3:34. How the minutes fly by in this unholy, dimly lit place! I guess I'd better be going. At least I'm not on the shedule to work today, thank goodness. For that I can be entirely grateful to Cassy and the others.
