Just finished day 8...170 more to go(for the MO law). Last Thursday we had a power outage(some dim-bulb was doing guttering near the school, was carrying a piece up or something, hit the lines, then they shut off the power to save the guy, but he died anyway), cutting the day down about a block and a half(including my lunch, so it was like 2 and a half hours off or something, really nice for us). Then I heard that there was an outage over the weekend when people were doing football practice or what not. So just thinking about what happened, I had this vision/daydream that the power would once again go out(Deja-vu! Where's that thread...ah screw it). Around 9AM in Algebra 2 the lights starting flickering. Then at 9:15, they went out. The main principle comes over the intercom(generator power for that) and explains that the lights were flickering so they thought it necessary to shut the power off(hey why not, it's just in the middle of a class, the students won't give a damn). It was off for about 30 mins while the piss-poor electrician worked(or lack there of) on it. Finally the power comes back on, at around 9:46. The block was supposed to be over at 9:30, so we figure that within a minute the bell will ring and I'll go to my best class of the day, Ceramics. Hell no. The main principle comes back on the intercom and says that they will release us at around 10:05(and she ones again says "Hello this is Mrs. Marquart..." like she always does even if she's gone on the intercom 15 times within 5 mins...). So now 1/3 of my Ceramics class time is gone. But I was able to start work on my Rotary Engine pot(can never make enough rotary engine stuff), and I took home 4 mags(1 '99 Car and Driver, 3 '97 Road and Tracks, and in them are 3 Mazda ads I don't have) from the class(free mags waiting to be cut up, but I save them from thier choppy death). So the day was ok.
Have fun at college.
