Headline: Today was a good day. The highlight of the day was my taking a field trip to the Deer Valley Community Center to take water tests on the creek behind it with my environmental science class. On the middle of nowhere road between hills and long expanses of vivid spring green we traveled, and laughed at the myriad cows littering the pastures. We had to open gates to get to the place and drive on gravel, and I felt like an undercover biologist that had something important to do. We carefully walked down a hill lugging our equipment to the banks of the creek to take water samples, and I was amused at the little water bugs and brine-shrimp looking bugs that were in the water. We then did the tests which were quite easy, and had a nice lunch in the shade to look out on the green hills. I felt productive for once. My lunch was very simple, a ham and cheese sandwhich and a sour apple. But it tasted better than any lunch I've had for the past few months.
I took a simple test in English class when I got back, and spent the rest of the period reading about T.S. Eliot, and reading "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." I do believe I've found my favorite poem.
I came home expecting mom to be angry at me for sleeping over at Crystal's house so that I can do the lab write up with her. Thanks to her bringing the protocol home without Mrs.Trejo's permission, we easily understood what the results meant. Mom is sick with the flu, so she's too weak to really yell at me, and I don't think she wanted to because she didn't put up much of the obligatory argument about my going there (besides, I think she loves Crystal, so I'm forgiven by default).
I consumed a slice of chicken and garlic pizza, and a slice of some strawberry cake.
Today would have been a very good day if History club had not been canceled without notice, but aside from that, today was a good day.
I haven't had one of those in a very long time.
I want to remember this.
