Kevin Cooper

Btw guys, for all you readers that attend Venice High School (No, seriously though. I feel like this blog only has two visitors...), there's gonna be a sit-in for 1st period only.
For those of you who don't know, LAUSD was cutting budgets therefore laying off teachers and increasing class sizes. To remedy this, Obama gave LAUSD $400 million. Instead, LAUSD is taking the ultraconservative move and is planning to use only a portion of it, which totally contradicts the main reason why Obama even gave them money.
Teachers wanted to strike. LAUSD feared it was going to be disruptive, so they sent this to court.
Court declared it illegal for the teacher's union to strike and will fine $1000 to any teacher that does.
Since they can't strike, we're going to help them out a lil' bit and make a statement by sitting in. We will sit outside in the student lawn of our school, not goin to first period.
I feel like a lot of the students are just going to stay outside just to ditch class...
But whatever. As long as we get the message across.
Will make sure to take pictures. :)

Today was awesome. After school, Amanda Navarro and I went to Century City to Creative Artists Agency.
It's the biggest agency in the world having clients like Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, any famous celebrity-you name it.
The agent we were going to meet was called Kevin Cooper. He talked to us in Ms. Votto's class basically about his journey of becoming an agent. Honestly, it wasn't that helpful but it was still interesting. He ran out of time, so I asked him if a friend and I can personally meet him and ask a few questions.
He agreed, and the appointment was at 5:15pm at CAA.
When I walked in, it was like holyshittomfgwhoa status. It was SUPER BIG and fancy. It's SO fancy, they don't have speakers for music. They freaking have people playing instruments. Like legit, orchestra.
Walked in, told one of the front deskpeople that we were there to meet Kev Cooper, told us to wait in one of the biggest waiting rooms ever.
Assistant came down, went up a nice elevator, got to me mr. cooper, talked for a long as time, and left, and ate Fuddracker mmmm burgers, then got picked up by papa, then dropped friend, went home, shit. nice day.
OAKGROVE TOMORROW.
I SHOULD PROBABLY BE PACKING RIGHT NOW!
