Okay. Here's the story. I've been panicking over the past week because I didn't think there was any way in Hades that I could finish my stupid photography books. My bookmaking --oops! I mean "photography"-- teacher is a really nice person, but she's such a perfectionist that I would go nuts if she taught next year. Thursday, when I was in photography class, everyone was saying that Kendall (the best teacher in the universe) had been fired. Naturally, I was horrified. Because I still wasn't finished with my book, I came to school this afternoon to see if I could finish my book. I also had to redo my flexigon book because my bag containing all my photo stuff had vanished. Now, my "dummy" flexigon was in the bag, too, meaning that I had to make two flexigons in all: one so that I could find out which triangle goes where (the original dummy), and then the final.

Now, flexigons take a long time to make, especially when you the triangles are two-sided. The first one I made took about 5 hours. Well, I only had 3 hours to both finish my stupid pop up book AND the flexigons. Yeep. I was just getting underway, when who showed up in the photolab but Kendall! And with her, her month-old son, Lucas. Sarah Stuart and I (we're probably best friends with Kendall of all the students) asked her if she were fired or not, and she told us that she was! And she was cool about it! Naturally, Sarah and I were horrified. What made matters worse is that because when Kendall was pregnant, she had posed nude for Fran Badgett, an incredibly non-conformist, yet very talented, senior. Now, this would have been completely accepted in a college atmosphere, but definitely not in a high school. Especially because two weeks ago, Fran was expelled.

Now, the rumor mill is saying that Fran and Kendall slept with each other. Oh, please! When the photos were taken, Kendall was so pregnant that she could barely even walk. She was just waddling around the photolab like a duck. It was so cute! Anyway, we all had a good laugh about that. Kendall said that because the rumor was so outlandish, it wouldn't really bother her as much as if it were believeable. I guess that's a good thing. Well, I doubt if the school will recall the pink slip, but I'll still see Kendall every so often. She's staying in Dallas, so that's always a good thing. I still need to give her the present I made for her to commemorate Lucas' birth. I hope she likes it.

Anyway, I was able to finish both books, so I'm home free. Kendall is grading our final portfolios, as opposed to Mrs. Rogers, as we had feared when we found out about Kendall getting sacked. That means, I'll probably get an A in photography this quarter. Yippee! Also, we know for a fact that Mrs. Rogers isn't being considered for next year, so that's another plus. ::sigh:: I guess everything will work itsself out in the end.
