A lot has gone on lately, with college applications, SATs, Dunkin' Donuts, classes, and my family.
To start, College Applications are a huge task. The applications themselves aren't too bad, but the essays cause a bit of stress atop my already busy schedule.
SATs should be over, but now, as a homeschooler, I'm required to take a minimum of 2 SAT2s at most schools. However, one of the school's I'm applying to requires 3 SAT2s. So, my next task? 3 SAT subject tests: chemistry, spanish, and math.
As for Dunkin' Donuts, things are going well. However, after receiving a phone call from an officer about a high school coworker who ran away from home, shock and worry rushed through me.
My classes at John Tyler and J. Sarge are going well, however, I'm not a huge fan of John Tyler. During the insane torrential downpour all over Virginia, John Tyler classes were cancelled due to a power outage. However, I drove all the way to campus, 45 minutes from my house to find that classes were in fact, cancelled. I did not receive an email until after my class time had begun :/ Of course, that set me in a terrible mood to complement my already cranky outlook on the week of nonstop rain. I proceeded to drive home and found that my 5pm class would occur. For a second time I drove to the college to attend a class that lasted 15 minutes. This of course, set me in an even worse mood.
On a sort of funny note, my dad, preparing for a bonfire this weekend, was mowing the lawn yesterday. I heard a loud bang. This couldn't possibly turn out well. I looked outside to make sure my dad was OK, and saw him chugging along on the lawn mower. I glanced at all of the windows to assure myself that nothing had broken. Everything appeared as normal, but i suddenly heard a crackling noise. Uh-oh. I looked at the front storm door to find the glass insert, shattered. My mom, at work, had no idea what happened, so my dad and I puled and Wally and Beaver Cleaver, and went to Lowe's to buy a new insert. My dad fixed the glass before my mom returned, and told her late last night. This morning as I was getting ready for my day at school, I heard my dad say, "oh noooo." Of course, I rushed into the dining room to see a gashed picture window (you know, the big, square windows that take up half the wall? one of those.). Needless to say, my dad most likely wants a new lawn mower. He'll do anything for a new yard toy.
So that's the latest for me. How's life in the rest of the world?
All the applications and tests are hard work right? I've been doing the same thing all year! (Different country tho!)
