Glenda takes the train home every day and arrives at the station at precisely 6:00 PM. Her husband drives from home to pick her up and also arrives at exactly 6:00. One day, Glenda catches the early train home, which arrives at 5:00 PM. She decides to start walking home. Along the way, she meets her husband, gets into the car, and they drive back home. They arrive exactly 10 minutes earlier than usual. How long had Glenda been walking?
This was my brother’s 7th grade math problem, and it took me like 15 minutes of just sitting there thinking to solve it. I’m dying.
But I got to sleep after track today due to the Jewish holidays of no homework! I’m alive again.

YEAH WE SPOKE IN ENGLISH!!! I don’t think I’ve said anything in English once throughout my entire high school career, UNTIL NOW! Actually, in 9th grade when we did the no-man-is-an-island thing (with awesome mr lester), I asked “will we allow weapons on the island?” But that’s really about it. I don’t care how dumb my comment was, at least I said something and so did yoou! yay. Now if only I could stop saying stupid things in history class, I’d be happy.Waddie Wad Wad!! Okay, does he get this really weird expression whenever he sees you in the hallway, or is that just for me?

Mr. Waddell gets a really weird expression when he sees me in the hallway too. I usually say hi to him and then he responds, “Hi Tessa” and smiles. (A great story.) Also, according to Kristin Cronon, Mr. Waddell said, “Tessa is good people” (which doesn’t even make any sense). Anyway, you guys, I can’t believe you’re deserting me!!!!!!!!!! I still have not spoken during a Socratic Seminar, but now you are abandoning me to be shy alone. Well, we’re not in the same class so I guess it doesn’t matter, but it’s the principle of the thing. You’re coming out of your shells and leaving me behind. Maybe I’ll have to become un-shy too.

haha I’ve only seen wads like twice in the hall. he was like “how ya doin’ allisyon?” that’s how he says my name. It is weird. But noo tessa, we are not abandonning you. It was christine who first decided to speak, and then I knew my time had come. Now that you know we both have spoken (and obviously diana speaks a ton as usual), tis your chance. It would be cool if we were all in the same class, but alas. gaah. haha and I don’t think we’ll ever become un-shy, but whateveerr
