Star Signs

It's 9:15.
We're all sitting in Ms. Tolentino's & Mr. Kim's Sophomore U.S. History Class.
Some people are doing homework, some are doing nothing, and some people are looking up horoscopes.
Why look up horoscopes? I mean, can't everybody just take day by day instead of having to look up how their day will be and plan accordingly?
Doesn't that sometimes just corrupt the way we normally act in order to satisfy how things are supposed to be?
Honestly, if the love horoscope says that today will be good, then that rises your hopes and expectations for  that one person that you like. And if the day doesn't go good, then it just leaves you feeling dejected and hopeless. 
How would I know that? Only because I've done that before (:
We live and learn.

And this is just another moment in Period 1.
Jaron asks Shawn, "If the Vice President died, who would be the President?"
And Shawn answers "Condolezza Rice."
Um, WRONG! So I tell Shawn, "If the Vice President dies, the President is still President."
These quizzes are pretty much trick questions that involve laborious critical thinking if you have lack of common sense. 

I just looked at the Honolulu Advertiser,
A Mexican toddler died of swine flu. It's the first case of swine flu that resulted in death.
And it was in Texas. How much closer is this thing going to get? 
It's 9:25.
The bell rang.
Time for recess (:
