I completed reading my book before spring break and am currently working on the book review. I haven’t started my book talk yet. I feel comfortable talking about my book because I really liked reading it. Phil Knight’s view on the business world and his incredible come up in the shoe industry is inspiring. I feel pretty comfortable with where I am at the moment.

Besides the fact that I can’t leave the house, every other aspect of this whole quarantine situation has been just fine. I have a lot of things to do at home including watching anime, building models, video games, drawing, etc. I also often talk with friends via online communication, but it definitely doesn’t beat in-person interaction. I think the worst part of this whole situation is what events have had to be cancelled or postponed. I know many of my classmates looked forward to fair and are worried that even senior prom may be cancelled. Hopefully things clear up soon.

I’d rather be the funniest person. Being smart has its value, however I think being able to communicate well with people is far more useful. I hold comedy in high regard because not everyone can tell a good joke. I feel like a funny person needs to be able to sense the feeling of the room and the people in it. Certain jokes only work well with certain people. Funny people are able to read people well which arguably may be more difficult than being smart.

When I think about what’s on my mind right now I see mainly three things. Senior Prom is right around the corner and people have already begun asking. In fact, I just saw someone ask this morning. Everyone’s talking about who to ask and stuff like that, but when I look around senior benches I see pained faces too. The look on a persons face that says “Nobody wants me” really makes me feel horrible. Of course a few people in the grade are set since they already have a boyfriend/girlfriend, however for the rest of us, prom is like a race against time. I have a lot of issues with the whole prom thing. I think people get way to stressed about it, and I’m no exception. I wish things like this didn’t have to be so complicated. For crying out loud its only high school.

I would much rather have society as a whole be happy than just myself. It’d be horrible to be the leader of a country suffering in debt and poverty. If I were the leader of a dystopian society, I would feel happy with the power I have because the people I’m in charge of would all be suffering.

I’d rather fly. Being invisible allows a person to be hidden indefinitely, however I think flying is much more useful. IF the goal is to be hidden, you could easily fly to someplace where you’d be alone. If you are trying to spy on someone, being invisible would be the easiest method, however you could easily spy on someone while flying as well. Also, if I could fly, I wouldn’t need a car which is nice because then I wouldn’t have to pay for gas and it’d be safer as well.

If I had to choose I would rather announce myself. As long as I’m not a spy, I won’t need to hide that I’m entering a room. Cartwheels seem more like more of a hassle. What if I have stuff in my hands, then I have to put it down. Or if I have a backpack it be harder to do the cartwheel.

I’d say I’m currently doing just fine. Homework levels are low. Even though Valentines Day is tomorrow, I’m not really the type of person to get stressed out or sad about it. My spirit isn’t so easily dampened. I look forward to a very fun three day weekend. The week has moved fairly quickly.

Just this morning in home room, I was playing Tetris and talking to my friends when Ms. Tomiyasu started bugging us. Apparently she had a problem with us congregating and she put it upon herself to take the role of our mother. She walked towards us and tapped each one of us on the shoulder and asked “Did you finish your homework? Do you have something you need to do?” And when she got to me I replied with “Yes I did all my stuff” only that “stuff” apparently sounded like “shit”. I was playing Tetris while listening to music so I’m not sure whether I really said “shit” or “stuff”, but Ms. Tomiyasu thought I said “shit” and I was almost sent to Mr. Yamamoto’s. First off, even if I did say “shit” which I strongly denied, I don’t think sending me to see anyone would have helped anyone. Instead she gave a lecture about how kids shouldn’t swear, but it just made her sound like an “out of touch” adult.
