“He’s like an urban legend.”
– discussion in my calculus class on the new principal, and how nobody has seen him.
so our principal left, apparently.
note: i don't quite know how to respond to this, as it's not often that the principal of a high school gets removed or relocated (or whatever) halfway through the school year. here are other seniors thoughts on the matter, gathered from facebook statuses (because that's where i always gather thoughts from). my opinion? the former principal was a pretty decent guy, it's going to be odd to see what happens next.
w.s: bye bye Castro :(
a.l: 6 years with Castro, now what? better not be a principal who ruins my 2nd semester senior year.
a.o: Knowing Mr.Castro, this is probably just a setup to a really lame april fools joke.
j.g: I was hoping it was all just speculation, but it looks like the rumors are true. Apparently, according to a PTO e-mail that went out, Castro has been re-assigned to Lee. He's been my principal for six out of the last seven years. It's a shame to see him go. He's a nice guy. *Sigh* Fare thee well Mr. Castro.
a.m: castro is leaving! this sucks! him and i were bamfs together!
m.l: I does not want to shake hands with some unknown principal when I graduate. Apparently, they did the same thing to my brother at Askew. 'Cept graduating high school is much more important. Not happy.

“This is when psych goes like, WHOA.”
– mental rehearsal (that is, visualizing an action repeatedly) has the same effects as actual rehearsal (that is, actually doing something repeatedly). dig it.
“E.G feels so bad for his Junior and Sophomore friends… so, so bad…”
– the rest of the week, us members of the fourth year don’t have to get to school before 10 40 in the morning. that’s the good life.
