Yeah, I made that up, but I think it's a deserving new tradition. I'm going to honor it. =P But for those of you who DON'T go to Cal High, and who DON'T know about the craziness that happened today, we had 11 fights at school. At least. (I had mock fights with Robyn, Kelly, and Shalini throughout the day too, just to make fun of all these fights going on. But we just shoved each other a bit and said stuff like, "You wanna go?!" and "Aw what!")
I don't even know who was fighting or what they were about, but it was CRAZY today. One during brunch between Kevin Scanlon and some black dude. Then during lunch, all the black girls were beating each other up, and when the administrators tried to stop them, they'd even try to fight them, or they'd just sprint off. Then Bianca and her friends ganged up on Gaby (and sad to say, I actually don't feel that bad for her, because she's sort of a bitch to tons of people.) All in all, there were seven (more or less) fights during lunch, and it got so bad, the administrators tried to end lunch like 10 minutes early. Not that anyone listened. Then apparently there were three after school.
Then all during lunch, there was this mass of people just watching the fights, and every time a new fight started, or the people ran off to fight somewhere else, the mass just migrated. Like a mob. Everyone just moved wherever the fight was. Like, I understand, fights are interesting and all, and it IS interesting to watch, just for the sake of watching and seeing who's fighting and who wins. But like this? Seriously. Get a grip guys. It's people beating each other up!
But break was hilarious. So Clarissa and I were in Mrs. Breton's room, just reviewing physics and stuff, then Clarissa notices the fight going on, so we get on top of the Lab 10 counter and watch for a while. Then when Mrs. Breton comes back in, she was like, "What are you doing?" So we told her there was a fight in the quad, and she reports it to the office, then heads outside saying, "I've never got to see one of these before!" And we see her watching from right outside the door (we're on the second floor of the science building) with this slight grin on her face. Like, all of these teachers/administrators are trying to calm everyone down, and Mrs. Breton's just watching it, smiling. She's awesome. xD Then Clarissa and I were talking about the mob around the fight, and she was like, "See, with the people all around you, you don't even have space to fight!" So obviously, that led to me saying, "Of course, the problem isn't that there's people beating each other up, it's that they don't have adequate space to beat each other up in!"
So yeah, today was insane. There were administrators and teachers EVERYWHERE during lunch, but then people would just fake fights to distract them from the real fight...The cops came too. I wonder why everyone's so crazy today? Every once in a while, we'll have a fight or two, but NOTHING like this.
*****
Back to my day, which was boring excluding all the fights. There were a few really weird phone calls in TA. Like the parent would describe the teacher to me ("Oh he teaches special ed and used to be a sub last year...") and expect me to know who it was. Yeah, it didn't work out that well, so I just transferred all of them to Lynette. xD
Chem was pretty interesting actually; we did a model airbag lab. No extra credit, but I didn't want/need it anyways, and I figure, let someone who needs it get it, right? I got a 71.5/69 on my chem test though! I missed a multiple choice question (-2) because I was stupid and wasn't thinking (big surprise there...), and got -1/2 for significant figures in one of my explanations. But I got +4 for our extra credit. It's really sad how I barely try in chem, yet do well on tests, and the average is usually a B- or C+...
Then I got called in to pick between physics/chem STAR. I picked chem, but I'm having second thoughts, because the physics practice STAR Mrs. Breton gave us was pretty easy... And the chem one seems more conceptual and sort of complicated... I hope I made the right choice... -sighs-
Physics was interesting. Just a lecture on waves and frequencies, plus STAR review, but I finished all my homework in class! =D
Eric threw a fruit cup at Robyn during lunch, and it apparently exploded in her hair. I was like, "Wow. Really?" Like, we'll throw stuff, but it's never things that will explode on you or make a huge mess. It's always condiment packets, grapes, blueberries. Little things. Not fruit cups.
French was... boring? I actually don't remember much from French. We had another vocab quiz (we always do), then we just did oral/whiteboards exercises for the rest of class. Chelsie had these really yummy Chocorooms though. They're like "mushrooms" with a cracker stem and chocolate cap. They're delicious! Then we were joking how we should but them in a black box then furtively be like, "You got the stuff?" "Yeah, I got the chocolate shrooms." Then if an administrator tried to report us for possession of "drugs," we'd just show them the food and offer them a few. xD
Then all through French they had announcements like, "Don't let your students out of class unless they're an athlete and have a match." I guess they were afraid people would get out of class to go fight more... All in all, a pretty crazy day...

Edit: So apparently according to eyewitness accounts by some of my friends, with the inter-student fighting, Gaby totally got owned. Like, the girls threw her to the ground and stomped on her head, and she lost a few teeth too... And during the brunch fight, one of the guys picked up the other guy and threw him into the wall. Then Mr. Wright (one of the assistant principals) had to punch the girl who came onto campus to try and get her to stop fighting. And she bit some staff member in the uhm... chest region.
So apparently the main incident (with the girl who isn't a student) was provoked by a previous even at the skate park, and it had to do with racial discrimination for something. I think the incident with Gaby probably had to do with that too... Crazy.
