Ock...

Okay. Today is History Day and I'm kinda nervous. Luckily, I don't have to perform. I would definetly go insane if I did that. Instead, I just have to set up my exhibit that I have spent HOURS on. I don't even think I am going to win... oh well. Just a lot of time wasted, but maybe it'll be worth it. I did my project on Hoboes. What a lovely topic. I did it on the signs they used to communicate. They didn't use words because not all hoboes could read and the fact that the general public wouldn't be too good to the hoboes if they knew what was going on in their heads. Not saying the hoboes are sickoes or anything. I actaully got in touch with a couple hoboes, that was cool. Every day, I have to pay about .60 to the libary, I have so many books out that I can't renew any more. Ick. That's not cool. My display just seems so boring though, maybe it's not though. Normaly kids do trifolds, I did a fence that came out to the audience, perhaps something new for them. At 10:10 (in about 2 hours and 34 minutes), I have to present my projec the judges, clarify anything they might not understand. I feel prepared for that though, I've done so much research. Then, for the rest of the day (till about 3:30), I get to watch other people perform, look at exhibits, and read really long essays. It will be a long day. Luckily, I have the yearbook camera, that should keep me sane. Yep. I feel sorry for Sara (Degler). She has to wear a old fasioned dress with a corset thingy for her performance. She says it's really tight and I don't think it's comfortable. She gets a look of discomfort when she wears it. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures for her to make it all the worth while. It does look good on her. My project is kinda heavy and I'm gonna have to put it together with screws when I get there. That should be fun. This whole first part is at the Shorline Community Center, right across from my old church. Hope I do good (well)...
