For those of you who didn't know, today was National Ditch Day. I think us schoolgoers (imagine I put a dash in that word wherever it's supposed to be) deserve a day off of school since workers got a day off for Don't Go to Work Unless it's Fun Day. The school district disagrees with me, but it was the science department at my school that actually figured out how to get people not to ditch. They "accidentally" scheduled frog dissections to be on Ditch Day. I think we broke the Ditch Day attendance record.

The frog dissections weren't quite what I expected. I thought we'd be playing desk hockey with the frogs' brains and pulling on their tendons to make their legs move. (Oh yeah, this blog entry also contains graphic descriptions of frog brutality.) What we actually ended up doing was cutting them open (okay), pinning their skin down (still okay), and drawing and labeling diagrams (NOT okay). What kind of frog dissection involves LEARNING?!? I can't believe I gave up Ditch Day for that!

Oh well. At least I can take comfort in knowing that you didn't ditch school either because I didn't tell you about Ditch Day until it was too late. I guess we'll both just have to wait for next year.
