Haha. Good one Colin. You make me laugh.
Ah...summer. With no real babysitting jobs lined up what am I to do? Well, technically I'm not done with school until June 10th, when I take the ACT and finish up my worldview paper. Then I'm having my wisdom teeth out on June 13th and flying to Colorado for two weeks on the 19th. Plus, Mom signed me up for a little mini-writing class for the month of June. It's REALLY no big deal; I'm in a class with a bunch of 13 year olds. Oh well. The teacher is nice though and I think I can learn from her if I really apply myself...but it is not going to be as life changing as Mr Smith's class was. How does he always sneek into my blogs? Haha, I guess it's not his fault, its just my fascination with him thats the problem. Maybe those aren't even the right words. How about admiration? Yeah, thats what I meant. And he moved this week. Darn it.
I do however, have rather lofty goals for the summer. First, take and do extremely well on the standarized college entrance exams. I think I have a fairly good shot at the ACT, but the SAT is just a bummer. Jana said she didn't even take it and she's going to Auburn next year, so I think my ACT score will be enough. Second, visit colleges and DECIDE where I'm going to go next year. Yeah, not much chance of that happening even if I do make some visits. Third, babysit as much as possible, although preferably not in Decatur except if it's the McMahans or the Mulligans because they live close to the interstate. Third, read as many classic books as possible. I have to read "Much Ado about Nothing," and "David Copperfield," for the book club, but I also want to read a ton more, particularly CS Lewis' science fiction trilogy( recommend by Mr S.) Oops! There he is again. Then there's just a bunch of random goals...go to the gym four times a week, beat Matthew in raquetball as much as possible, read books with Jen, make Dad's China and South Korea scrapbook, organize and keep the house clean, have surgery, fly trans-state and hopefully enjoy a break from school somewhere in the midst of all of that.
Yeah; not much chance of the relaxation thing huh? Well...thats what my two weeks in Colorado are for.
On a happy note the truck and the camper have potential buyers! This is very good news because that means we'll be able to get a Toyota Forerunner that will actually fit in our garage and NO more BIG truck!! God is good; God is good... and I am not Gnostic. :-)
