NHS today, big ceremony in the gym. I dunno, I didn't have enough points to tap or to go to the luncheon, but I don't really care. I work enough that I have a legitimate reason not to participate, as well as my lack of connection with the underclassmen (therefore, no reason to tap as well). I did, however, feel like crap because we tried to play a joke on Ms. Kuzma, and it sort of backfired.
Chris, Karen, and I all didn't go to the luncheon, so we all bought lunch and went to the AP Stat room to eat lunch (like normal). Chris and I, afraid of ruining our precious manly-white collars, took them off before we ate........persuaded Karen to do the same. We then had no collars and were eating regular lunch, and we kept trying to get Ms. Kuzma to notice (maybe I'm being a little presumptious here, but all the AP work, ect., ......NHS is a logical conclusion, right?). We finally told her because she never said anything, and she proceeded to tell us that she missed being in her high school NHS because year 1, she was not friends of the daughter of the teacher that decided who got in (a reasonable plight), and year 2, a "C" in gym kept her from getting in. Ms. Kuzma is one of our best teachers, so I felt really bad bringing up NHS like that in front of her, especially given her situation. Overall, she just shrugged it off, but I still felt bad.
Add on to that the few people in my AP classes that aren't in NHS..........sorry guys (Patrick, Allison, Brandon, and others) that aren't in NHS. Many that are in NHS don't deserve it, and many that aren't in do. They must've felt bad being excluded like that. Maybe I'm just thinking too hard about this. Maybe I shouldn't worry about others too much. Maybe they just don't care.
