Oh yeah, something else I forgot to mention. Until near the end of second period today (which is not that long, but long enough for me to be almost drenched in my own perspiration... I'm very sensitive to heat), our school had no air conditioning. Why? Because the senior class before us had ripped out the fuses for the AC and spray painted the front doors with the message 'A Day in the Life of Memphis City Schools.' (which, for the most part, now have air conditioning, making this message a moot point) Fucking bastards. I sympathsize with districts too poor to afford AC, but this school isn't really rolling in the bucks either (I overhear teachers complaining about lack of funds all the time). HHS may be in Germantown (a fairly affluent suburb of Memphis), but that doesn't mean it's a high class institution. Roaches and other creatures of filth plague the classrooms, mildew gathers in the corners, the walls are made of thin, completely not sound-proof cinderblock, et al. The place needs a new roof as well, apparently.
