Today passed as Thursdays at VHS typically pass for me. A couple things stand out in my memory. Firstly, we played football in PE, which is not a novelty for me, but the fact that I actually played was. Normally, I would never be willing participate in football, especially if the guys in the class are integrated with us girls, but today I had no choice since Ms. Kellogg proclaimed to be watching us, making sure that the girls were involved. This lead to the inevitably embarrassing prospect of my being the center. Those of you familiar with the logistics of American football, can most likely conceive of why my being center could possibly be at all embarrassing for me, particularly if the quarterback happened to be male. I'll leave the rest to your inference. However, in this case, the situation was further exacerbated by the QB's incessant proclivity to calling me "sweetie". It was just weird. It didn't necessarily upset me, but I just felt that this was something that I could easily and elatedly blog about.
After school, I went to the orthodontist, I as have been doing every five or so weeks for the past year and a half. There, I related to my orthodontist the pain in which I have been experiencing in jaw for the past six months or so due, I'm sure, to the relentless pressure of the braces. She advised me to apply moist heat to the inflamed area and to chew on the other side. I also got two full power chains on both rows of teeth in my preferred purple. Other than this, my day has been quite uneventful.
I have been thoroughly enjoying Pride and Prejudice and have progressed farther in the novel than I believe anyone in my class to have read. This discovery, of course, will explain my excessive formality in this blog post. For this, I apologize, and I assure you, my next blog postings will henceforth have a more casual and liberating tone.
With love and my highest regard,
