(no subject)
Once again it has been a while since I updated those interested on the goings-on in my life. Currently I am watching the ending of an episode of Law and Order. It just happens that this show is one of my favourites. For those who are interested, I finally got a car.
The next few days are going to be the busiest that I have experienced in a long while. Tomorrow I have a golf match, then work, followed by band practice which will be followed on Friday with surgery to take out my wisdom teeth. Monday morning I will start back to school :). I am very much looking forward to starting back to school. I've missed all of my friends and wish to return to a normal cycle of life.
As always there is the ever present presence of college looming over me. Progressively through the summer its shadow has grown longer and broader until it has nearly covered me in the sense of having early decision applications coming soon. I will be signed up to take my ACTs at Northern Vance High School in Henderson, NC on September 16th hoping that I will do a little better on the ACTs than I did on the SATs. It seems trivial, however, when you are looking to get into college and your chances of scoring higher on one or the other are present, wouldn't you take that opportunity?
At the moment I am unable to think of anything else which might be of any interest to anyone reading this. Friends have left/are leaving for college very soon. It would seem that I am in a better mood than I have been in recent weeks. I am at a loss as to why but I shall not question it.
If you have not read The Poisonwood Bible, you should read it. The story is an excellent insight to life in the Congo from Belgian colonialism to Congolese independence and the transition which has taken it from the Belgian Congo to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Barbara Kingsolver did an excellent job researching her material for this novel.
The one thing which is bothering me at the present time is not having a teacher for math or physics. We aren't but 4 days away from starting school on Monday morning and I have heard nothing as to whether we have a teacher for those subjects. I finally get to take physics, which I've been wanting to take since I started high school and I don't even have a teacher. Alas, such things are bound to happen.
Ever yours
Sean
