The Week of May 28th Awards:
Best Song: “Brainless” by Sunny Day Sets Fire. It’s a great song, despite the fact that every repetition of the word “brainless” jettisons me into a mild anxiety about next week’s final exams.

Best Project: My history group’s 1950s sitcom, complete with retro Rice Krispies commercial and Elvis Presley performance.

Best Feeling: Sitting in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and being able to pick up on all the historical context clues from the 50s, from “I Like Ike” to an “anti-red” rally to Mutt’s greaser get-up.

Funniest Movie: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I’ve seen it enough times to memorize most of the Greek spoken in it, but it never loses its originality. It’s one of those movies that doesn’t stop being funny over time, and with each viewing there’s some new detail that makes me burst with laughter.

Best Number: 5. As in days of school left until summer break!
