Africa

So today was so mediocre. Despite how mediocre my day was it was not a flat line of mediocrity. That's what I love about the gauge of high school day quality. There was a near even balance of good and bad things that happened.

Singers is going to suck tomorrow because we don't know the words.
(Bad)
Alex Hughes marked up my arms with pen to get me back for all my sneak attack markings so that was funny
(believe it or not good)
Singers is going to suck tomorrow because Mrs. Berlain is a shitty director
(Bad)
Lunch today was fun because I ate half of Katie Collins' KitKat because she said I wouldn't
(Good)
I got in trouble in Spanish for wearing my sun glasses but when Nate AND Alex were wearing them they were able to have full conversations with Doctora.
(Bad)
I blew off my homework to go to a Senior Party at Jen's house...yeah I don't even care it's like whatever I don't even care I don't even care
(Good)

(Bad)
The concert was really good because Jazz did really really well and Jazz never does well
(Good)

Also during the concert the band played a piece titled "Africa". It featured enchanting rhythms section and haunting vocals by band members.

Africa is such a foreign concept to me. There is so much trouble there... so much nearly universal trouble in a whole continent. All the time I'm hearing about new attrocities committed all across the continent.

The song of the day is "Africa: Ceremony, Song and Ritual" by Robert W. Smith.
