Aiden Deis: My Subset of Reality

Thursday, August 25th - 2011

Dad took me to school early this morning, because we were taking band photos. Kari ordered 4 buttons, one for Melvin, one for Ben, one for Grama and one for herself. Dad ordered himself one. I ordered 3, one for Neil, and the other two to sent too South-Africa for my mother (Noel) and sister (Lara).

07:26 I was the first kid at band, but didn't know If I was supposed to get dressed.

07:34 Another kid came along and started getting dressed in his band uniform. I took this as my Que and also tracked down and put on my uniform. It felt weird.

14:50 Final hour of the day, I have theater arts. Mrs. Gebrecht handed out the script to a play and said that it was the play that we'd be doing for the Fall Production and said we'd be reading through it in class today.

15:20 We got done highlighting our lines in the play and started reading our parts.

I'm a guy called Luther Conner" and in the play I get married... haven't figured out to who just yet, but the girls that I would want to play the part of my wife have already been canceled out by process of elimination.

15:35 Our reading was interrupted by the bell and it was time to go home, but Mrs. Gebrecht asked me and Mary Jane to stay behind. I immediately knew Mrs. Gebrecht wanted to discuss CX (debate contest, Mary Jane and I are partnering in), and obviously Mary Jane also knew.

Mrs. Gebrecht told us that there was a debate preparation event in Lubbock on Sept. 1st and she shot me with a look that said 'I know you've just been there, but here we go again' and Mary Jane also seeing 'the look' laughed in agreement. She asked us if we would be interested or willing to go. Neither me Mary Jane or Mrs. Gebrecht have had much experience in debate, this would be my first attempt... ever. Both me and Mary Jane jumped on the opportunity, and Mrs. Gebrecht went on to describe the details. We would be leaving for Lubbock at about 13:00 next Thursday and return home at 01:00 the next morning. Mrs. Gebrecht warned us before saying yes a final time, that both me and Mary Jane were in band and would have to go to 'Freona' that Friday to play a football game. YES.

I have yet to find out where 'Freona' is and what time we'd be leaving for it ect. But I can't spare it anymore thought, because tomorrow after school, Melvin will be taking the bus home with me which means I will have NO time to prepare for the football game in the few minutes between getting home and 17:30, when I want to leave for school (the game is being played at 'home').

18:06 I just googled it (looked it up). It's not 'Freona', it's 'Friona' and it's 148 miles away. 2 hours 40 mins in a bus.
