I am getting so excited for things that are happening soon. Tomorrow, of course, there's new Doctor Who, and omg I have been anticipating this episode for months. It will, of course, totally joss the fic I've been working on, but eh, I have no problems with that. And then two weeks after that we'll have the finale, which I am both anticipating and dreading. :p
But there is something happening on Monday that is actually making me just as excited! My younger sister, who graduated from high school last year, has been traveling around the world since November. She did a couple volunteer programs, and has spent months in Tanzania, Thailand, and lately Australia. She was going to stay in Australia until August, but last week she called me and said she'd decided to come home on Monday instead. She also asked me not to tell our parents, so when I pick her up and bring her home, it'll be a complete surprise to them. It's just...wow, I've been looking forward to this. :D
And something I find sorta funny is that I am rather enjoying my summer school class. I mean, I wouldn't have taken it if I hadn't thought it would be interesting, but it's still Statistical Methods, and I'm not really a math person. I like Stats better than other branches of math--in high school, after finishing up the algebra courses my sophomore year, when most people were going into Trig, then Calculus, I went into Probability/Statistic, then AP Stats. I did well enough on the AP test and in the class, but that was a few years ago and I forgot a lot of stuff. Now this class is reminding me--and because I have actually learned it before, I'm doing very well. Plus, I find it even more interesting now than I did in high school. I'm even fine with sitting in class for two hours a day four days a week. :p
Enjoying my recent classes as much as I have makes me really anticipate going back to UPS in the fall. I do love being home and all, but I'm definitely looking forward to going back to school.
