Friday the 13th

I just found this interesting:
The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (meaning Friday), and dekatreís (meaning thirteen), attached to phobía (meaning fear). This is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a simple phobia (fear) of the number thirteen, and is also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia. The term triskaidekaphobia was derived in 1911 and first appeared in a mainstream source in 1953.
Honestly, i don't think i'll ever remember those terms, but you know, it doesn't matter. I just felt like putting that down for like, umm, general knowledge? 

So anyway, today started off pretty horribly, what with me getting up late and missing my bus. Then getting to school and having to go for PE where we had to do actual stuff, like run and jump and hop and walk backwards and do lunges. BUT. My luck changed after a bunch of little green men were magicked my way. Haha i started having fun with the class and then later the swimmers. 
The J1 swimmers this year are really quite a fun bunch. Dinner at Subway was entertaining(pink lurrvee, eh? haha) and the trip to town with Clarence but without Clarence was pointless but enjoyable nonetheless. =)

I am now at home and tired but very much contented. =)
