Ewew grosssss

Grade: 100
We sorta had a history lesson today? I dunno, it was one of those informal days where we spent half the class talking instead of having an actual lesson to do. Learned about Cardinal Richelieudouchebag and his Neoclassical This-Is-Perfect-Art format of plays.

Stayed after for the dance show today. Sons and Daughters is sounding pretty good. I just lost the game. Byebye.

xoxoxo,
