Yo, people!

Captain's blog, stardate 2849.1....
Hey there folks, sorry for taking so long to update. Last week was pretty busy for me and I was really tired the whole time. So, not the best circumstances for blog updating. This weekend, however, I got to sleep! And my Shakespeare class was required to go see a performance of Henry IV, Part I today. This meant that I couldn't teach SAT prep today and had to get a sub--which in turn meant I didn't have to come up with lesson plans yesterday and could go shopping.

Yes, I went shopping of my own free will. I bought some nice gold braid and then....I went CLOTHES shopping! I went to the Salvation Army store and bought a random article of clothing to cut up. It took me a while to find something that was the right color, but that I wouldn't be willing to wear, so that I wouldn't feel guilty about ruining it. They have lots of nice shirts there. There was this one gold sweater that was so awesome I couldn't resist buying it. It was so bright and pretty and I needed a new lucky shirt since I'm sewing stuff on my old one. I'll test it out during my chemistry exam tomorrow. I have the feeling it will be very lucky, even though it doesn't have a black collar. I could always wear a black shirt underneath and then it would look like one of the uniforms from the 2009 Star Trek movie.

Hmm, other news. We read Henry IV, Part I and Henry V in Shakespeare class. Henry V had this lovely line at the beginning of Act 3, Scene 6:
Gower: How now, Captain Fluellen? Come you from the bridge?
It took me a couple minutes and a glance at the footnotes to figure out that they were talking about an actual bridge, not the starship kind. It didn't help that throughout the play people kept talking about how they would succeed in their "glorious enterprise".

Got to go to my a capella group practice and then sew more stuff on my shirt. See you all later.
