i’ve been bemoaning the fact that i had nothing to write about all summer and now i have lots of events and thoughts and humor to record, and no time to blog all about it. tonight, i rediscovered my very favorite time of day. the best part is, there’s plenty of it. it’s procrastination time! do i feel like reading the canterbury tales in middle english? am i in the mood to prepare for next week’s children’s lit course? do i even have to energy to locate my children’s lit books? no, no, and no. but suddenly i have all the patience and ambition required to sit here and write about it all!
i dropped ethics and traded latin american studies for a geology course called planet earth. i needed to get out of ethics b/c the lectures were dragging me into a mind-vacuum, but i’m hoping i can go back and take latam next year. planet earth is fulfilling my last math/science requirement. i missed the first meeting, but i sat in the second class and the prof walks in, puts a giant lord & taylor shopping bag on the lab table, and says, “i need to run and get something, make sure you all get a pair of 3-D glasses,” and walks out again. sign my add/drop form, the course shopping spree is over!
i’m also signing up for the first responder certification course, which meets every wednesday night for four hours, but satisfies my last three gym credits and means i could run on the emt team next year. so between that, the saw center, and res life, i have three potential jobs for senior year. now, if i could only find a steady source of income for the next three and one half months. i’ve got my eye on the coffee bar and the blanchard info desk.
turns out, my dad works closer to mount holyoke than home, so i drove down to glastonbury to have lunch with him and exchange some stuff that i didn’t need at school or forgot at home. my dad has my 8th grade school photo in his office, and i think it’s still my favorite one out of all my years of public school picture days.
