-The Spanish test I had was fairly easy.
-The hardest part, though, was the listening activities.
-I'm never really good at those, and in this one we had to match a phrase with a picture.
-It was hard because the pictures were so badly printed on the test sheet.
-In my other classes, we didn't do anything all that interesting.
-My Government textbook is pretty boring.
-But my history textbook from last year had a lot of pretty cool political cartoons from various times in history.
-I once had to draw my own political cartoon associated with the Civil War, I think.
-We did a lot of that sort of thing in Ms L's class, actually.
-We usually did these projects in groups, with large paper and lots of markers.
-None of my teachers this year are as interesting as Ms L, although Mr B is pretty weird-in-a-good-way.

-There were a few cartoons in my History textbook last year.

-I was alright at listening tasks in French, when the tapes were of good quality.
-Well, decent quality.
-Not poor quality.
-The stuff I was really good was... was...
-What was it?
-I know there was something...
-Oh well; it's not as if it matters.
-I've been reading The Fifth Elephant.
-It's pretty good.
-Although I'm nearing the end, and I don't think there's enough elephant in it to justify the title.
-I feel ill.
-Mother cooked up an experiment for dinner, and I didn't particularly like it.
-It had mushrooms and some sort of potato gunk and I'm not even going to talk about it any more as it honestly does make me feel sick just to think about it.
-Father gave me a cheese scone, with added cheese filling, to fill me up, as I hadn't finished dinner.
-And a muffin.
-I think the cheese scone alone was too much.
-Even then, I was feeling ill.
-I could barely eat the muffin.
-In hindsight, I shouldn't have, but it was just there, and it felt incomplete.
-Anyway, now I feel pretty ill.
-No amount of water has been enough.
-On the other hand, though, I don't feel particularly tired.

-It annoyed Tasha 'cause she's not heard of them.

-*nod nod*

-I guess I'll stuff things back into my closet later.

-I have a Photography project.
-We're supposed to find old photos of family members, and put together a family tree.
-At least it's not due until the middle of next month.
-In the words of Mr B: "If you can't complete this project in a month, you deserve to be horse-whipped, boiled in oil, hung out to dry, slapped with a lanyard, and have your organs pulled out and fed to you".
-He's an interesting teacher, certainly.
-I just lost my Visual Basic project.
-At least I think I'll have time to redo it tomorrow.

-It sounds really cool.
