I've got boats to build...
Busy Busy Busy. I've BEEN busy since my summer "vacation" started, and it appears that I shall REMAIN busy until the wonderful day that I load up the wagon and depart for school again on Sept. 3rd.
This past weekend, I went with my dad and sisters to Indiana, for Justin's graduation. It was an overall great time, although it wasn't looking all that promising as we were heading there. Justin got recognized along with the other dozen-plus graduates for enlisting in the military, which was quite a nice touch added to the ceremony that I had never seen done before.
Also, got to spend some quality time with all us cousins together, and instead of arguing like we all used to, we sat out front drinking beer (well, they would sneak it to me) and shared some cigars.
All in all, it was a great weekend, what with the presence of airhorns, luchadors (Mil Mascaras), and "free passes". Justin should be coming up in mid June, with any luck, and I am greatly anticipating that drunkenness... I mean, visit.
Otherwise, no news is good news I suppose. My life has been relatively uneventful since I returned to Riverhead, but thats not saying much since I've only been here 2 full days... I have a date of sorts tomorrow that I am definitely looking forward to, with someone who kinda screwed me over a couple years ago- but through online and phone conversations, it appears that we've BOTH done a significant amount of growing up... and we're going to give it another shot.
Oh.. and I got my grades- and despite what I had basically etched into stone, I somehow managed to PASS archaeology. I think it's because I was somewhat humorous on my exam.
#13: What are the three responsibilities of an Archaeologist?
(I had no clue, so I described my Archaeology professor, in hopes that I'd hit the nail on the head somewhere along the line)
My answers: 1- Wear a different ballcap every day.
2- Have a passion for the Iron Chef.
3- Pass Donna Butler in this course...
It seems to have worked.
My grades sucked this semester- by no means am I happy with myself.
Archaeology- C- (proof that miracles really do happen.)
Criminal Justice- C+ (Woulda been a freaking B+ had I handed in my paper on time... damn)
Sociology- C (as expected)
Proj Ren (Tech)- A
Proj Ren (Human ID)- A (of course I'm pleased with the A's, but its such a stupid-easy course I can only be satisfied with this... not thrilled.)
What else...
Well, I have three, possibly four jobs this summer... I'm working at Target overnight full time, then babysitting in the morning when I get home from Target, then possibly an attorney's office doing office work... If I could just remember the word that Mr. Palmer used that made it sound so appealing... oh, and the bakery... But only when they grovel and beg for my presence. Maybe I'll swoop in and save the day on occasion. I wouldn't count on it though, seeing as how I hate the place.
I am Donna- the evolved woman.
Just so ya know.
