~ °Café de Terrasse° ~

The thoughts of an odd duck who sits alone in a night cafe, with a stylo in his right, a journal in his left, a valise under his chaise, a tasse on the table, and plenty of time to pass.

I love AP Government!!! Well... I find it sooo interesting! Oh my goodness... Soo much fun. I know that it'll get difficult and the work load will be rather heavy later on in the year but it's the challenge that I'm willing to take and I hope I can. There's so much to learn about politics and government and I think, so far, that Mr. Flores is a marvelous instructor. He has so much knowledge and information to share. Justin... if you are reading this... I know your dilemma and I wish you the best.
Hmmm... let's see, what else is on my mind? Ummm... oh yeah... let's see... today was an interesting day. Victoria! Allons-y aux Starbucks un jour ainsi nous pouvons passer en revue notre français, d'accord? And what's gonna happen with FACE? Justin says it's approved and we're all soo happy but then we ask ourselves... now what?
Hmmm... Oh my goodness... speaking of clubs... This has been bothering me the whole afternoon today and I just want to say that I'm really sorry to Fatima & Dr. Café for being rude during the CSF staff meeting! I think everyone noticed what I did... I didn't mean to get up while you were speaking... I'm sorry.
Hmmm, I don't think anyone ever reads these blogs of mine anyway. But that's okay because nobody has to... I just write what comes to mind and what comes to my mind... i write (well, not all of it). Well... I wish you all many blessings and à tout a l'heaure!

Well tomorrow my cousin is getting married and he asked me to be an usher. I feel sooo honoured! But... Goodness... the tux is like... $150.01!!! Oh well... I think that I'mm just going to go purchase a tux for myself because this is the third time I've had to rent a tux this year! I have suits but there's something so formal and sophisticated about owning a tux. I dunno... I'm gonna be broke soon. Anyway... that's all for now. I wish Eric and Libby the best on their wedding day and on their new life together!

Ok, ok... I'm in a weird mood again... It's been only what, an hour or so since my last post and I feel weird again... I sure hope this year is very fullfilling socially as well as academically. I mean... goodness... I can't always be that shy guy in the corner who is too intimidated by the world! I have to get out there! I mean... that's the only way because otherwise I'll be missing out on a lot... Well, I dunno... I'm not that open and it doesn't quite mean I'll be up and dancing when the music starts but I can at least be up and dancing while the music's still playing! If I'm always waiting for the coffee to cool down, I can't enjoy the heart of warm café. Goodness... there are soo many things I don't want to miss and waste. I should swallow my pride and get in the game (no, not that one.) because this is my Senior year and people say it'll go by fast. I'll treasure it and it can be something that I'll never forget... a year that I can proudly tell someone... "THAT WAS MY SENIOR YEAR!"

"PAT PAT PAT PAT PAT PAT PAT...CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP... PAT PAT PAT... CLAP CLAP CLAP WHOO WHOO... YEARBOOK!!!" - IT'S THE YEARBOOK, OH YES, AND WE ARE THE BEST!!! DUARTE HIGH YEARBOOK 2002-2003 WILL BE THE BEST EVER!!!

~Benjamin 9/05/2002 09:29:00 PM

Wow, the schoolyear has begun and I like it so far! I'm very excited about taking AP Government- it's a course that I think I'm going to love. Mr. Flores is such a wonderful instructor (He's an International Relations Major!!!)! Discussions are lively and that class which is small enough for us to each gain special personal attention. I'm ready to tackle my AP English Class- Dr. Brown (Doctura Café, Ph.D)'s mode of instruction must be highly promising and I have no doubt that I shall learn much more from her this year. J'adore ma classe de Français... My French has already improved... et c'était seulement mon jour premier dans cette classe! Mlle. Pulido, being also my Yearbook Class Advisor is an effective instructor and she is very caring about our education. What more can I say? Yearbook's going to be a blast! As for my mathematics class, I like the teacher... just not the subject and my ROP Computer Applications Class will be very simple... the instructor is very "kicked-back". Classes are great and though I may be more stressed than ever, this year (my last schoolyear) will be the best damn schoolyear ever!!!!!!!!!!!! SENIORS CLASS OF 2003!!! WHOOO!!!

YOU ARE A BAD FRIEND. I was told that today. I suppose I am... but I would rather be a bad friend than be a bad person. You see, loyalty is a strange thing. It can be right, it can be wrong. Like loyalty for one's country- I am not loyal to the United States. However, I'm very loyal to the virtues that this country was made to uphold. They say to be loyal to your leader. What if our leader was Lincoln? Ok. What if our leader was Hitler? Hmmm... So anyway, am I loyal to my friends? No, but I'm loyal to friendship. True loyalty is both good and bad. Good loyalty is being loyal to the abstract... not the concrete...

~Benjamin 9/03/2002 09:21:00 PM

I AM LIVING IN HELL!!! It is sooo hot here! Why must the weather torture me like this!? I utterly detest hot weather! I open the door and am suddenly met with a sudden rush of scorched air. I can hardly breathe with the humid temperarature wearing down my lungs. You'd think that the wind would help one to cool down but no! You are rushed at by zephyrs carrying the awful heat with them. This is terrible! When will the first rains arrive? When will the clouds come to protect us all from the wrath of the sun!? I am ilck... Excuse me while I go lock myself in the freezer...
