Memory Day: This Day in High School

May 1, 1994 Sunday

I finished the assignments for chapters 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23 today. Theoretically speaking, I won't have any biology homework until around May 27.

May 1, 1995 Monday

Today was just a normal day. I don't really listen in Physics anymore because the new sub isn't the greatest explainer in the world. American Civ was normal. I tried to stay awake but I couldn't. Stage band went well. I played a good Samba solo. During that period, I started seeing spots, a sure sign that I would eventually have a headache. I had had small pains every so often earlier but not big problems. The spots got worse through precal and the headache came during french. We worked on our stories. I sat out in band and it got a little better. The band voted for drum major today. Hilda and I were the only ones but I'm not sure whether there'll be one or two majors. I'd like to work with Hilda, but at the same time, I don't really want to share the leadership with someone. As Jay said, he thinks that another major would just get in my way. At crew, we did a 30 minute piece up towards the Anacostia River. We got to the Naval Yard in DC. We got back at around 5. I got a ride home with Jay. We talked about a lot of different things. I've got scouts tonight.

May 1, 1996 Wednesday

Today was pretty long. I got up at 4:30 and drove to crew. We did pieces against the junior guys and senior girls and did well. Theory and physics were normal. English was a movie. The rest of the school day was boring. After band, I went back to crew for afternoon practice, and then went to Pit rehearsal. We didn't actually start until 7 so we had to sit around for 1.5 hours. Mr. Randall got angry and yelled at Mrs. Masters (the drama teacher), who doesn't know what she's doing. We got done at 10:30 and I came home. I have crew again tomorrow morning and then tomorrow night is the opening night for the play. Some parts will be really good and some, really disjunct.
