Sad day

21st of October, Tuesday

We used Ipads in Psych. Yes, Ipads. It blew my mind too. I've heard of rich American schools being able to afford a lot of Apple products for the kids, but I haven't experienced it yet. We could never dream about something like this at my school at home, the school can barely afford heating in winter. Mrs. Brockman is out for the week, she hurt her back. I finished my French project in the meantime. 15 minutes before the end of the class, I was called down to the athletic office. The athletic director gathered all the senior volleyball players to talk to us, to see if we were ok. There was very little crying involved. We also found out, that there won't me a scrimmage on Wednesday either. No real closure. She felt so bad,she gave us a consolation mug.In PE, we did a fitness test, how many sit-ups and pushups we can do, how flexible we are, things like that. It wasn't really difficult.
  I spent the rest of my afternoon at the library. I emailed my Mom, looked at some universities and finished some of my homework. Practice was fun, despite the sadness that took over the last one. We just played, listened to some music.
  When I got home, I recieved some horrible news: my grandma was in a hospital again. I really wish I could be at home. I wish I could be with my family and support my parents. But I'm not, and I can't. We'll figure out some way to talk about things, and have virtual hugs and kisses.
  To take my mind off of things, I did what an average American would do: I watched TV. There were a bunch of sitcoms on tonight, so I could really just not concentrate on anything. Today was one of the worse days.
