Now That The Formalities Are Over

Still summer time...got about a month and a half left before school starts. I shouldn't really say that, because right now (this very minute) I'm sitting here trying not to get caught by my physics professor. Why the hell am I taking physics, you may ask. GOOD FREAKING QUESTION!! But I do have an answer, and it's a good one. In order to become a Regent Scholar (and get FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS) I needed to aquire one more science credit, so here I am, in a little room with a bunch of computers and no human contact for 4 hours a day. Technically, since I'm using the V-Tel system, there are a handful (about 5) others around the state that I'm electronically connected to, but they don't count. I REALLY HATE PHYSICS and as I mentioned...short attention span. By about 9 o'clock I'm surfing the web, drawing pictures, downloading mp3s...
Three more weeks and I am OUT OF HERE!! Just as most folk are mourning the swift passing of summer vacation, I will be jumping for joy at the idea of staying up late, sleeping in, and repeating as desired (or until August 28). I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing for my month of freedom, but I do know that Bible School is on the list. I volunteered last year, and I feel like such a good sameritan saying this, but it was really rewarding. I'm not normally one for voluneering (not because I'm greedy, but because I have this terrible "people problem". I'll explain later) but interacting with all those kids in an atmosphere where they are compelled to behave was awesome. I know a lot more of the kids now, too, and I'm sure that I will feel like a proud mother as I oogle over the art projects they construct, dripping with glue and leaving a trail of glitter all over the church.
As much as I hate to say this, I'd best be getting back to paying attention. If I don't get a C then two months was wasted for nothing. Laterz!
