WHY?s Up: The Last Day (Unofficial WHY?s Up Post)

.:*So Sad...*:.

(...about the last day)

So today is the offcial last day (well, hour really) of the WHY?s Up Oakland postsession; it's a very bittersweet ending. Sweet in that Summer Break is finally here; bitter in that we're not going anywhere tomorrow! Aww... but it's not the end of this blog! I'll still be posting about random stuff, and you can count on the Square Bear Rants to continue.

So in saying that I would like to say a few of thank you's:

• Mr. Lee and Mrs. Fitzgerald: for making this postsession possible in the first place, and also for taking us to new places (and familiar ones), and getting us to think critically about our enviornment. Oh, and for taking us to eat at places we would never even think of trying.
• Mr. Lee: for lending me a dollar for the bus yesterday.
• Beatriz: for offereing a piece of her sandwhich to me, even though I couldn't eat it because I was sick, and also for asking people if they could give us an interview when she was in my group in Chinatown.
• All the group Interviewers: they probably all said that they were never going to be the interviewer as well, but they did it anyway.

Yeah, that's it. Did if forget anyone?

WHY?s Up: Alameda

Alameda was pretty boring, in my opinion. There really wasn't that much to do, and I nearly went insane because of it. I only became excited when I saw this HUGE dog (the owner said she was a Bosnian sheep dog or something)! She was so pretty. It made me want to get a dog just like her.

We also went to the Alameda beach...yeah, I don't like the water. So you know what I did? I dug a hole. No, I dug TWO holes. That's how bored I was. The only fun part was when Olivia and Yesenia fell in the water, then it was not fun anymore.

Then I found out we were near a Borders (I practically live there, no joke). But here's the thing: NO ONE TOLD ME UNTIL WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE!!! I could have gone there, and then I would have had something nice to write about! But nooooooooooo! Let's all tourture Jackie!

*%$#@!

Square Bear is Taking the SAT

.:*Square Bear*:.

(Grr)

So yeah... this Saturday I have to take the SAT, and Square Bear really didn't study all that much. I get those Official SAT Questions of the Day from TheCollegeBoard.Com, but now instead of answering the question I just delete them. I mean, I didn't even remember that I was going to take the SAT tomorrow until I saw my e-mail with the Question of the Day.

I'm really not looking forward to it tomorrow, espcially since my friend said that it lasts like...5 hours or something. I don't want to spend a Saturday taking a test! And I have to be there by 7:45AM! C'mon people! I'm not fully awake by then! And I have to bring my own food! No, if they're going to torture me for that long, they should be feeding me!

Yes, I know I'm being unrealistic, but...yeah. I also don't think we should have to pay for this dumb test. If these people really cared about more of the poorer kids getting into colleges, they wouldn't make us do this. But that's just my opinion. But at least I have a fee waver! WOO!
