Divine Lunacy

Look at me… I’m actually blogging again later. Over the last two days, I have recieved Exactly four envelopes from school. I recieved three envelopes yesterday, and one today. Of the envelopes I recieved yesterday, one was addressed to me and two were addressed to my parents. The one addressed to me contained a notice about senior pictures. One of the envelopes addressed to my parents contained the same exact notice. The other one was an informational packet about summer reading—the same exact packed I was given in class. ( or close enough to it… ). The envelope with the summer reading had two $.37 stamps on it. With about 800 students, that comes up to $592, not including the cost of printing duplicate pakcets for everyone. This is the same packet that is available in the guidence office all summer long. I recieved the B12 memorandum today, but wait… isn’t that the same packed that I had to go pick up in Mrs. Druin’s room? ( yeah, it is… ). oh.. and… I recieved another summer reading packet today… Now if I lose one of them, I’ll have two spares. Now would be a great time to rant about the duplicate award ceremony invitations, but I have already done so. Simply put, the school spends somewhere well over $1000 sending out duplicates of certain publications…

As I glanced over my report card today, I first ran my eyes down the credits column to make sure there wasn’t some freak accident that caused me to fail something for the year. After seeing a 0.000 in the US history row, I looked again… and again… and again… and… Wait… There aren’t any failing grades in that row. I then looked at the career credits printed at the bottom of the report card. It says I have 18.5 career credits, which I know is impossible without even doing any real math. Career exploration is a quarter credit and is the only quarter credit class I have taken; thus, my total credits can not be divisible by 1/2… It looks like the error is in the credits, not the grades, which is good… Looks like I’ll ( I mean my mom will ) be on the phone with guidence tomorrow…
