So, I am sitting in Geometry today, half listening. Lesson 11-1, Proofs with Coordinates. Mr. Kennedy talks about lines and slopes. These are the parts of math I don’t like.

Why bother to tell the students that they have 26 days of school left if next you start a chapter on coordinate geometry? I liked Algebra much better. 12/3=4, of course. Wow, we just proved that this parallelogram is really a parallelogram, and not a renegade octagon in disguise.

Last semester I was thinking, you could name children or pets fantastic things from math. Horizontal & Vertical, the Linear Twins. Theorem would be a big orange cat, of course. x one, y one. y not two?

I should pay attention in class, of course, really I should. I’ll end up with a B again and Mum’ll unhappy at me, which’ll make Dad unhappy at me too and I’ll never get anything useful done.

That ‘minds me. I painted my lamp yesterday. (System of equations looks new. bother, now I’ll have to listen) (never mind) It’s very pretty now. Maybe I’ll take a picture of it.

Sky looks so pretty today, out the window. (hmm, he just changed -4 to -11 halfway through the equation. I dunno. Appears to have worked anyway)

Darn, homework. 7-12 & 14-16. The Shawshank Redemption. Carey brought movies and apparently it is okay to watch them, Mr. Kennedy says his eyes are closed. But now, “If X=(3,7), Y=(11,3), and Z=(4,9), prove that triangle XYZ is a right triangle.” Should have listened. And the movie doesn’t appear to be working. 10 minutes till the bell. I’ll have to do this 3rd hour. More importantly, I’ll have to remember to do it 3rd hour.

Looks like this guy is going to do something stupid, since he’s first shown with a gun and alchohol. Less than a minute to the bell.
