Sacha Baron Cohen
I just watched The Dictator, and while I had incredibly low expectations for the movie, it was actually a fairly incredible work of satire. In the very end of the film, Cohen's character delivers a monologue at the United Nations about the beauties of dictatorship that directly paralleled events that are a part of American life, and it was brilliant Juvenalian satire! I honestly think Sacha Baron Cohen is incredibly underrated for his satirical genius.
Guess who may not graduate?
The tutoring program with the older kids was officially cut today. I can't believe it, honestly...

Today was an okay day, not too eventful in terms of school things! The biggest event in my day has been tutoring. Today we found out that the Wednesday sessions have been cancelled because the kids cannot behave whatsoever. It was definitely a surprise!

FACEBOOK PURGE
So after seeing one of my friends tweeting about how she was getting rid of half the pictures and posts on her Facebook profile, I was inspired to do the same for the sake of my future self. I untagged myself from several photos, deleted entire albums of ugliness and embarrassment, and unfriended tons of people! I still have a lot of work to do (dear lord, the status updates....) but I should be able to wipe this task out in a matter of days. What I really need are decent, current pictures of myself. I hate taking selfies because I lack the confidence to do anything about them, but I'm not about to ask someone to take pictures of me just for the hell of it! Hopefully I can figure something out soon.
Uggggh
I don't think I'm going to have time to exercise before bed, so I'll try to do a plank, squats, leg lift things, and crunches before I crawl into bed. I've been terrible about exercise lately, and I need to get back at it, even if it's just one step at a time.

Today was pretty dull; there was none of the excitement of the mystery dessert nor wild assemblies, but the day was a solid day nonetheless. I don't have a terrible amount of homework tonight, so I'm going to make sure that I exercise in some way, shape, or form! I may use the new treadmill, do Pilates/a Pinterest workout, or both! I'm going to shoot for both!
I had an in-class essay in English today over Gulliver's Travels, and I think it went well. Fingers crossed it will help fix my grade! Speaking of grades, my teacher was grading my test essay during AP Bio today and told me that I did a fantastic job of it, so I feel a lot more secure regarding that test! I'm still pretty nervous about that, but in the end I know I'll be okay.

Today was an incredibly interesting day! First off, when I opened my locker this morning, I was met with a tart (I'm just calling it a tart for now) with caramel, pecans, and chocolate, as well as about a dozen Dove dark chocolates with caramel! There was no indication as to who gave it to me, but eventually I figured out that it was from Dylan. It was partially a belated birthday gift and partially a "sorry for being a dipshit and not realizing that you had asked me to a dance oops oops ooooooops" gift. I'm still looking forward to eating it, it was beautiful!
We had our "Rent-A-Junior" assembly today as well. Rent-A-Junior is basically a cross between slavery and prostitution where juniors perform skits and dances, get auctioned off to the highest bidder, and are essentially that person's slave for the next day and must do anything asked of them (within reason). The money goes towards their senior prom dance, so they are more than excited to do it! It's always entertaining to see what the variuos groups have come up with.
