Holy moly........ This week WAS CRAZY! The major start of it all, was Thursday. But the big blow, was TODAY. FRIDAY. Let's start from Tuesday, though.
Monday was Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, so no school ! "I Had a Dream" Well you know what my dream is??? TO HAVE LEADERSHIP BACK TO NORMAL WITHOUT RUNNING IN THESE RANDOM CIRCLES OF PROBLEMS!! Is that too much to ask?!
On Tuesday, things seemed normal, or as normal as things can be... We were just going over our things to do, like Spring Fling, or Orientation. Shayna made everyone make a flyer for Spring Fling. I'll get to my flyer later... Also, us 7th graders had to finish the sketch of the graduation program, so we can make our rough draft on Thursday. Mr. Ing also told us that some of us didn't get why we were writing the Weed & Seed letter. He told us exactly what needed to be in it and why were writing it. We had to make our FINAL DRAFT. Things seemed normal on Tuesday...
Wednesday, we ran into these small problems. I'll get to that later. But on Wednesday, the 7th graders finished that rough draft of the graduation program, and to say the least, i think it was actually pretty good. I loved that background. Now to my flyer. Mr. Ing had told us during period 4 that the flyer was due today, our rough draft. I had been working on my orientation banner, because i knew that would take a lot of time to make. I found out that the flyer's rough draft was due today, so i just decided to make my final one. But every computer was being used. So when one opened up, i took it, and it kind of took me a long time to make the flyer, so i stayed after school. All seemed well that day until i found out yesterday what had happened at ID's. They made some mistakes. I believe the mistake on Wednesday was there having dates on the ID envelope. Why would we have to put dates on the envelop when we never before? That's what confused me... And this problem lead on to...
Thursday. ID's were having too many problems. I took pictures of the Hoss people so i wasn't sure what was going on in the morning. I got 4 categories done and i need to do the other for next week so i can finish my page. I later figured out during that advisory that 1 mistake turned into 6 mistakes in 5 minutes! First of all, how is that possible??? To make 6 mistakes in 5 minutes?? And second of all, why are we making this many mistakes in 3RD QUARTER? Shouldn't we know by now? During lunch, we had "the meeting" This was the "kick out" meeting where someone has a chance of getting kicked out of Leadership. Period 2, (who was in charge of ID's) needed to come up with a solution about Wednesday's mistake and they just wanted to forget about it... Fine... But the closer Mr. Ing came to the meeting table, the closer we were coming to HIS solution.....
FRIDAY. Friday made me cry)'; In the morning, we continued the meeting. We also needed to vote if period 2 was going to stay in leadership, or out. And the vote was ONLY BASED ON PERFORMANCE. I voted out D'; I voted them out because they've been given way too many chances. They were given 240 chances! One for every minute they could have thought of a solution. Yet they come back with nothing. And why be here if they're not happy? I started to break down quietly after i shared my vote, because i just didn't think it was fair for Shayna and Rhea... There was 5 yeses to keep them and 11 no's... Then the bell ring for 2 period. Mr. Ing told period 2 that when come back from their period 4, they had better come up with a solution. And then came advisory, with them having solutions like, if they didn't answer Mr. Ing's question, he won't answer theirs. But Mr. Ing wanted something ORIGINAL. Like, planting a garden, or baking a cake, or challenging him to Connect 4. But they came up with something that has already been tried, with the Timecards.We then lined up next to the door, and i knew that they were soon going to be leaving our class. I really didn't want them to leave, but based on their performance, and performance only, they belonged outside. Oh and yesterday, Mr. Ing told period 2 to blog about the problem and when he asked today about who blogged, we found out that only Errlyn did. And if she heard it, the rest of period 2 should have too. That's another reason why my vote was out. They didn't show that they wanted to express how THEY FEEL. I'm not sure what the situation is with period 2 now, but I'M REALLY HOPING THINGS TURN OUT WAAAAAY BETTER NEXT WEEK THAN THIS WEEK!
