I don't have a fifth period today, so I got some Psych work done that I needed to do. I'm reading some more of the Magnus Archives and am on 134. I really don't like the Extinction. It's an apocalypses and I have the really bad feeling it's gonna come through. This is one of the reasons I'm reading instead of listening to it. It's easier to not get freaked out. Poor Martin. He needs some hugs. And oh gosh! He's getting some backbone! Peter is also clearly fed up with Sims incompetence, which is honestly completely fair. And Martin is standing up for Sims. That's so cute. Aw, Martin was the one throwing tape recorders down to help. Sims needs to realize how much of an idiot he is and give Martin what he deserves. Episode 125 looks really interesting. We finally get the third Daedalus person and hopefully Sims realizing he's an idiot. Manuela is certainly a piece of work. I know I'm supposed to know who Maxwell Rayner is, but I don't have a clue at all. It mentioned two of the other weird families, so I guess that explains why such weird stuff was going on. And it's time for Psych.
I had to explain what fanfic was to my teacher. Quite an interesting way to start the day. As well as my friend, let's call her Rosie, asked me where I was sitting since I have my camera on. My walls all look the same, so no matter where I sit my background looks almost identical. I am not sitting on my bed, I have a weird foam fold-out thing I sit on instead. We are also back to the nature vs. nurture, this time involving intelligence. One good thing that we're talking about is Growth Mindset. You can learn people. Take the time to try something new and practice, because your brain is a muscle. Try try again. Took my test and got an 8/10, which is good enough for me, considering the two I got wrong were two I was confused on. I understand my friend wants more time, but she needs to realize that we aren't going to have that much time on the AP test, so she's gotta realize that and deal with it.
Ok, I just had the most embarrassing encounter ever. I was talking with Owen after Psych again, eating lunch, doing normal stuff. My Sapta brought over michloach manot, which are gift baskets for Purim, which is today. I made a reference to being sad about not being able to make hamentaschen this year, when Owen asks what they are. I get really confused because I brought them in last year. We talk a bit more before I realize, this is a different Owen. He's not the guy I sat next to in English. In fact, I never had any interaction with this guy before going into online schooling. I've been talking to him with a familiarity and he had no clue who I was. We spent a good half an hour just in utter disbelief. I can't believe it. I thought he was my friend! I mean, I did think it was a bit weird we hit it off so well, and his voice was deeper than I remembered, but both things were easily dismissible because of the switch to being online. I just can't believe myself. Chemistry is happening now but I'm not over it.
Chem went by fine. I did the problems. Nothing particularly interesting happening in Homeroom. We played Name That Tune, which is really fun. The first one we did was mostly Bruno Mars and Katey Perry, which is my jam, so that was fun. It's time to get ready for Shabbat now, so I guess that's end of this for today.
