Aiden Deis: My Subset of Reality

Wednesday, February 8th - 2012

  8:00 I walked right past Miss Demps' room, I went up the stairs and walked into Mr. Theist' room (geometry teacher), I said good morning, but he didn't reply. It was very clear to anybody who knew anything about me, that I was in a bad mood. I put down my backpack and then- not knowing where else to go, I made my way over to Miss King's room (BCIS teacher). I really respect Mrs King, she's one of the very few teacher here who can seperate her personal life from her teaching. In my avoidance of Alice tried working on Computer App (UIL activity), but I just ended up staring at a blank screen. 8:10 Miss King was no fool she has this dreadful ability of knowing when I'm tired, frustrated or completely in a 'mind-boil'. I knew if I didn't get out of there soon she would confront my about what's bothering me. I walked down the stairs and headed for the band hall, but courage finally took hold and I turned into Mrs Demps' room. I asked Alice "Hey, can I borrow you real quick" I didn't try to pretend I was in a good mood "Sure... What are we doing?" by this time we were at the door leading to the hallway "We're... Discussing" "Okay, where are we going?" She seemed puzzled, but I had no doubt she knew what I was talking about. "In the library." The library was right across the hall from Mrs Demps' room. Mrs Demps was standing in the back of the library doing something on a computer. "Are we 'discussing' with Mrs Demps?" "No" I led her to one of the desks near the front of the library. "We're discussing your 'attachment', should I be worried about this?" "No, it's fine, don't worry... It's not a big deal, I was kinda joking" the expression on her face was distant and detached, I couldn't read her face, but it definetly didn't say 'JOKE'. She started heading for the door and followed her out to the hallway, but then I turned right and started walking to the band all, she said something as I left but all I heard was "...cut off next week anyway" I have to break up with this girl. 7th hour: We took a test in Mr Salezar's class (Spanish). Besides the fact that I think he's an awfull teacher, I get along with him very well. I had a sudden realization that I was sitting in a class doing work I've already done, and there were a lot of ways in which I could better spend this time. After the test was taken and work assigned, I walked over to Mr Salezar's desk and explained to him that since I've already taken the second semester of Spanish 1 last year, I didn't see any reason to do it again. Mr Salezar agreed completely, he said he saw no reason why I couldn't drop the rest of this years Spanish. 8th hour: Mrs Demps (Theater Arts) allowed me to go see Mrs Garza (counselor) about dropping Spanish. Mrs Garza also saw my point and promised me she would talk to Dr. Utly (principal) about my wish, when he got back tomorrow. She asked me want I would like to do during the time I would have otherwise spent in Spanish, she told my it was to late in the semester to join another class. I used the talents I was given to their ful extent, I painted her a very attractive picture of how I just want to do something productive, I told her about some of the other goals I had for this year and she assured me that she'd try her best to figure something out. 3:50 Grama told me that I was ready. She's been teaching me how to play piano for a couple of weeks now and she told my that the piece of music I was working on was ready. We agreed that I would perform it in Church this coming Sunday.
