Errands today to library, grocery and PO to finish up Desk Day. Dd had to email me she would be late to the car rider area because 2 other girls got into a shouting match in another class, and one teacher remembered from last semester that dd's known them for several years, asked to talk to her after school. Teacher wanted to know whether she thought a fight might be in the offing. She was able to respond absolutely not - they are not that kind of girls, just, sadly, reaching the end of a friendship and already embarrassed it affected anyone else. He was very relieved, she says, so I hope she's right!
lucylee, dd says to tell you her English teacher (seasoned and excellent, IMO) surprised them by starting R and J today. Wonder if he has some of the same feelings you do about end of year and getting to a classic? Anyway, he wants her to read Tybalt and "really let out the anger". LOL She says she's trying to be forceful! She says with every few lines they read, he is repeating, "Now, say it with FEELING." She says maybe freshmen aren't the ones for this play, though, because there are so many opportunities for juvenile/naughty humor, and the boys are finding every one.
I believe her English class spent most of the year on classics, well not as old as Shakespeare. Orwell, Steinbeck, Harper Lee - that's all I can remember off the top of my head. . . 
That is just scary. Later a guy came to her room and asked her if she understood why her surgery was cancelled. Her answer, "yes, someone doesn't know what the hell they are doing". So they have rescheduled her surgery for Wednesday. My dm and dsisil are going to visit her tomorrow as planned. Dm told me she would hug her and give her a kiss from me.
