Ophelia was the protagonist....

So we had an English unit test today. While I really didn't say that Ophelia was the protagonist(I know, some scholar out there is spending their life "proving" this), I did choose to write about her as a clear symbol of conflicting interests. I mean her desire to be with Hamlet and her desire to preserve family honor(aka not being seen as a mistress) were what caused their relationship to stalemate.

Speaking of stalemating, today was the semi-finals of chess. Parkville sadly loss, but Joe did beat his opponent in five minutes. I personally had my game won...until I forgot that bishops move diagonally and lost the trap around his queen. So I ended up with a bishop and king to a knight, king and five pawns...not a nice place to be

The sad part was I was able to draw by killing all of his pawns.

I love the way the clock freaks people out; it makes mind games much more effective.

Lyric of the day:
"And just like the ocean under the moon
Well thats the same emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that can be so smooth
Gimme your heart make it real
Or else forget about it"
-Santana: Smooth

Funny Story of the Day:
Yesterday we were at Robotics, and I needed a knife for something. I figured Dan owned like 20 (Phil Collins claimed some were as big as his arm), so I would get one from him.

Me: Dan, I need a knife.
Dan(whisper): Why?
Me(loudly): To cut this wire...just give me...
Dan(whisper): Calm the hell down...you realize we can't have knives in school right...
Me: Oh. Well then get me a saw to cut this with.
