Dear Sam

Did you know....

"Because sharks very rarely get cancer, scientists study their cartilage in the hopes of finding a cure for the disease. "

Holy smokes girl! I just had the best day of my life... but sadly since this thing is public I'm not sure if I feel comfortable talking about all of it and using names. So can we please make it private? I'm going to to it anyways and tell you all about what happened and then we can talk more about it later

Anyways: I got to third period today and there he was sitting over on the other side of the room facing the door and I tried to say Hi to him but I couldn't! :) So I sat in third period feeling lame and chicken.

Fourth period went by (And I'll tell you more about that later :/) and I ate lunch with you. Crunching on carrots in an otherwise quiet room... :) and I was on my way to fifth period, hoping that he would be at the end of the hall by the theatre, when all of the sudden I heard "Hey Jessica M." and I was totally caught off guard and could not keep my thoughts straight. That is not normal for me but we had an acceptable conversation nonetheless. We walked all the way from the commons to the theatre and I was so happy.

Fifth period passed pretty uneventful. He had to leave half way through the class (Which he isn't really in) and left James to help Lloyd with the music. Sixth period passed boring, but quickly, and it was the end of the day. The bell had just rung and I thought I should stay here longer and I'm not sure why but I did. I was talking to James about the Domestic Violence skits and from the front parking lot stage door in he came. He gave James an over dramatic hug (to which James played wonderfully along with) and then he looked down at me (Because he was on the stage and I wasn't) and smiled soo wonderfully and said "Hello Jessica Maloy" and I looked up at him and smiled so contentedly and said "Hello David" and it was so wonderful. And as speedily as he came, he was gone. Neither of us (Jessica or James) knew why he came in. But he did and I was glad for that. Both the walk to 5th and the post 6th encounters more than made up for the poor showing in 3rd.

And that is why my day was so unbelievably wonderful.

I friend requested him on facebook and he accepted and immediatly liked my status and commented on my wall. Samantha, you don't even know how cute he is! AHHH!

NEW TOPIC

The reason that APLAC today was so odd and dissappointing is because we analyzed a poem from the 20th century that was said to be the best of it's time period. It goes like this:

so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.

And nobody understood why it was so amazing. I still don't know either. Granted, it does paint a beautiful picture in my mind and the words are simple. But When Newton talks about how every word was carefully chosen and placed and everything has deeper meaning.... I just lose interest.

I don't believe that when William Carlos Williams wrote this he used red because it symbolized blood and white for purity and the rain was for ... whatever. I have reached this conclusion:

Writers hype up alot of what they do to make it seem deeper and have more meaning than it really does. It helps distinguish them and makes them feel more sophisticated and cultured when in reality they are just simple and pretty words on a page; no further.

Same goes with Chefs. Thinking that caviar is to die for and that spending thousands of dollars on exotic and rare mushrooms (truffles) and all that hype. I just don't buy it. Yes, it tastes good but it's not that earth shattering.

Anyways. I had a great day. Thanks for letting me eat lunch with you again!

Love,

Jess
