Leslie and I are slowly deteriorating into nothingness. More so Leslie because she does this much work all semester long, but this week is absolutely killing me. One exam down, 3 to go. All of my dreams so far have been about being home this weekend. I am super excited. So for all the rest of you falling apart, come join Leslie and I in that pile of mush in the corner.

The Vassar trip was so much fun! Although it is weird because I have been looking forward to it for about a month and now it is all over. Sadness. The highlight moments are listed in the Leslie post, so will refrain from reiterating. After Vassar, Kevin came back with me but he slept like half the time. Excellent. Today, after class (ugh) Melissa, Kevin and I went to lunch, and it is never a dull moment with those two, honestly. But now they are gone and I am alone once again. At least I have something to look forward to next weekend - Festival! Excellent. Just first I must survive next week - 4 exams and a paper. Ugh. Luckily I went a bit ahead on work last week so I could focus on this stuff now, so once the paper is done I can focus on studying, which will be a bitch but I shall deal. The paper makes literally no sense though, so we will see what happens with that. Last semester it took me one-two days to hammer out a paper, now it is taking me nearly twice as long, and I don't know why. I can't seem to focus. Maybe it is just weird essays that I fund boring and pointless. Plus research is a drag. Or maybe because instead of writing I make LiveJournal posts. What are you going to do? Nothing. During this time I also must figure out where I am going to live next year. I don't really want to think about it. Alright, I seriously need to stop procrastinating. Talk you all later.

Directly from 'The Randolph High School Student Handbook.' (the 2006-2007 edition)

"Class rank will be computed at the end of each half year beginning in grade 10."

So if the Guidance Office followed their own regulations, we would be getting our 4th rank update in 3 weeks. This is obviously not the case. Now I just need to think of a punishment.

Done.

I finished my incredibly long science project! It is comprised of a 15 page paper and a 5-7 power point presentation. All together, it took approximately 20 hours. Okay, so that's not an insane amount, but it's still a lot. I am very relieved to have it done. I'm also excited for the weekend! Excuse me, LONG weekend! I love breaks, no matter how small.

Read the mail!

Randolph schools just sent out the CORNIEST and CHEESIEST letter every created to us today. I think Barney could make it more eloquent. They have called the new policy: "Dress For Success." Fucking corny. They are now considering hoodies "outerwear," which umm they aren't fucking dumbasses!

Is anyone else going to the school committe meeting to revolt against this?

to continue Leslie's school post...

Dress code: Randolph schools want no hoodies in hallways

By FRED HANSON
The Patriot Ledger

RANDOLPH - Hooded sweatshirts, better known as hoodies, would be banned from Randolph schools during the school day under a policy presented to the school committee.

‘‘They can still wear them to school, they just can’t wear them in the hallways,’’ said school committee member Marybeth Nearen.

The dress code for middle and high school students would also ban flip-flops and footwear with built-in roller skate wheels, ‘‘revealing or immodest clothing,’’ athletic gear and T-shirts promoting alcohol or cigarettes.

The proposed ban on hoodies during school hours extends to other forms of outerwear, such as coats and jackets, and other head coverings, with the exception of those worn for religious or medical reasons. These items, including caps, must remain in the students’ lockers.

All are part of a new dress code policy for students in the middle school and high school that was presented last week. It will go before the school committee for final approval on Aug. 31.

School committee member Maureen Kenney, who along with Nearen served on a subcommittee which drew up the proposal, said there were few actual changes in the dress codes. In some cases, the language was made clearer and more specific.

‘‘The big change is in the enforcement,’’ Kenney said.

The subcommittee which presented its recommended dress codes last week included school staff and parent, student and community representatives.

As a school committee policy, administrators are expected to enforce its provisions, Kenney said. Principals have already formed an implementation committee.

‘‘We really believe that if students dress for success, they’ll be poised to do better and behave better,’’ said Kenney.

Legally, the school committee can’t require students to wear uniforms, and can only regulate student dress for reasons of safety, health and cleanliness, Kenney said.

Nearen said that the ban on hoodies is for safety reasons, since students can use the hoods to conceal their identity from the school’s security cameras.

‘‘They were having a hard time identifying students who were cutting class or stealing items,’’ she said.

Nearen said she hasn’t had any negative phone calls or e-mails since the proposal was announced.

‘‘Everyone knows it needs to be done,’’ Nearen said. ‘‘It was the townspeople who demanded that we clean up the appearance of our students. And the committee agreed it was time for students to start dressing in a manner that shows pride in themselves and their schools.’’

School committee member Paul Meoni is opposed to the policy, saying he didn’t believe hooded sweatshirts posed a safety problem.

The policy also prohibits:

—Footwear such as flip-flops, slippers, or with built-in roller skate wheels.

— ‘‘Revealing or immodest clothing,’’ including visible underwear, bare midriffs, and skirts and shorts must be no shorter than mid-thigh. Pants can not be worn low.

—Athletic uniforms during classes.

— Beachwear or sleepwear.

— Clothing that advertises alcohol, tobacco, or illegal materials; or displays inappropriate language or pictures.

The policy requires students to wear their student ID badges at all times.

Students who violate the policy would be sent to the building administrator, who would decide whether to ask parents to bring a change of clothes or keep the student in the office or another part of school for the rest of the day.

Nearen said letters will be mailed to parents and teachers this week to inform them of the proposed policy ‘‘so they can be prepared.’’

Okay, I desperately need help studying for midterms. Here is my shedual. . .

Thursday: English
Friday: Chemistry & Spanish
Monday: Welless
Tuesday: History & Math

I really need some help with tips on how to study, or how you studied if you have class with me.

For English, I wrote out 125 note cards of SAT words, story vocab., and latin roots. I am having a really hard time memorizing the SAT words and some story words. If I ever get those down, I'll move onto grammar and crap. So any help (especially with English) is GREATLY appreciated!!
