In the Paper

      I got a letter in the mail today saying that I was moved back to Mr. Lunser's homeroom. Sadly, I didn't get changed out of Narwin's English class. Other than that, I delivered the paper today. Boring. I've also been thinking about how I could get myself back onto the track team. I'm actually thinking about what Coach said and asking for extra work but I still don't know.
     On Sunday, April 1st, there was an article about me in the paper in the community section. It was written by Ms. Stewart, the news reporter who interviewed me. It said, "...tenth grader Philip Malloy of Harrison High School was suspended  for singing 'The Star Spangled Banner'...Every time Philip lifted his voice to sing she threw him out of the class, insisting a disturbance was being created...What will young Malloy- who has his own delivery route for the Manchester Record-do during his suspension from school? Philip, who still hopes to make the school track team this spring, said, 'Try to keep up with my work, and work out with classmates after school.'" It's crazy that this is even in the paper. I'm starting to think that this is geting a out of hand.
