Are you restless like me?
Jenna's former blog. It will still be here, but she will not be here.5/10/2005
This is a concept, this is a bracelet.
I almost went to bed without blogging today. I remembered though, as you can see. I'm sure I would have had nightmares if I didn't.
Speaking of which, I have been dreaming more lately. Or, I remember my dreams more, something like that. And they're all really odd. I want to have a really good dream finally, one that makes me happy all day, not one that confuses the hell out of me.
But I can't control my dreams. I'm jealous of people who have lucid dreams. I wish I could do whatever I wanted in dreams and recognize that it's a dream and everything.
Today I really wanted to grab my giant sharpie and write all over my walls, but I refrained. My mom did say I could paint/stencil on my walls though, so I might do something soon.
The school administration is so stupid for allowing cell phones on campus. If they're going to allow kids to have them, they shouldn't overreact to them going off in class. It's not the kid's fault. However, I hate the damned things, so I'm no advocate. It's just not fair to say the kids can bring them and then get totally butt-hurt when someone forgets to put it on silent.
Oh, on the school topic, there's going to be this protest tomorrow down on E St. and Jackson (I guess by the flags) to raise awareness of the way the district is trying to screw our teachers over. It starts at 4 and then at either 5 or 6 (I'm not sure) they're walking over to City Hall to have a rally of sorts. I might go if I can drag someone along. The Hayward Unified district is being really horrible and is trying to force things on the teachers and schools that would really mess things up. Like merit pay, where teachers get paid more if their students get good test scores, well what happens to the teacher of the sheltered class? They get paid less to do a harder job. The district doesn't think the teachers are serious or that anyone cares about it. The protest is for publicity, to get people involved.
Then on the 25th, all of the teachers from my school and many others are leaving 4th block and going to Sacramento to protest at the state level. I don't know any details on that one.

The teachers at my old high school protested last fall, on a day I happened to be at home. I drove into town, right into the middle of the protest and remember wondering if it was just a health walk for them all. It was really strange. I'd never seen anyone protest before.
That's a good point about cells at school. I can remember teachers whipping them out to talk in the middle of class, and they'd snag a kids and give it back at the end of the day. Not fair.
