Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück
Well, I missed an entry again. This isn’t going to be an everyday blog. I will try my best but it really isn’t going to happen.
So for those of you who are too uncivilized to know what the title means, it is German for “The Empire Strikes Back” as in Star Wars: Episode V. We are watching it in Deutsch II and it rocks. Seriously, take German just for the movies, you won’t be disappointed. We were sitting around watching the Battle of Hoth when we hear a strange alarm in the background. It takes a few seconds for anyone to notice as it blends in with the rest of the movie sounds and it would make sense that alarms would be going off at Echo Base, but it eventually dawned on us that it was the fire alarm. The freaking fire alarm! And with only about 4 minutes left in class. Ridiculous. Between that, advisory and leaving for choir districts at about 1:15 (Update on that later) I’m not doing anything today.
UPDATE: Choir got 92, 93 and 97 from the three judges and those scores are really good. You only need to get an average of 80 to qualify for state. Although it isn’t technically a competition we got more points than any of the other groups. W00T!

I was there, that alarm took more than a couple of seconds to register in our heads. Did the Doctor even know there was going to be a firedrill? He seemed to have the same response to the drill as us, something like, “Why!?!” and “I was trying to watch Star Wars here!”
