I want to start off with saying that if anyone actually read my last post, I don't actually say "really" that much. I also had to stay home from swimming and had a headache all weekend. Luckily the bruise is much better, and I don't have a headache right now. That post was weird... starting with the fact that I said "stellar" in that context... And of course putting the word "really" in every sentence, I do know other adjectives.
Now, on to the "student of the month" thing. I was very surprised that I was nominated, especially because (as stated in my last blog) I am not the most outstanding english student in my mind. I was really nervous for being recognized, and Mr.Thompson made it more nerve wrecking by saying that he had to say nice things about be there, and in front of a lot of people too! I came to school at 7:10-ish and went into the activity room, and I got a doughnut and all that. When they started having kids go up, the first person up got to demonstrate, and I got to be second. Yeah, I didn't have the whole system down, so I messed up, so I was deciding whether to laugh or to turn bright red. After I went and shook the hand of all the teachers there, Mr.Thompson read a SPEECH about me. He said that I am more than willing to tell you what I can't do. He then proceeded to say everything I can do. He even quoted my blog from last time. It was a great speech, but I was so nervous during the whole thing.
Sorry, I wrote this Wednesday, but I asked my mom to check it after my post last week.. Anyways, now it is Sunday and I have been asked about student of the month several times. I am always flattered, but do not accept the compliments with grace, if you know what I mean. Someone told me that it was such a great honor, especially because it was from Mr.Thompson. She said she wanted to be student of the month in his class all year last year. She is really nice and smart, so that makes me more confused at me getting it. Oh well, I guess, just accept something good instead of griping over why I am not good enough (which is not my intent, but it is what this sounds like.. sorry!) So thank you Mr.Thompson, I am really honored and grateful, even if I am not the best at saying it.
Oh! and here is his speech! So go to Mr.Thompson's Speech of Lies if you care to know what he said (it makes my blog make more sense).
You earned it, Skittles!
