This past week was pretty busy. Thank goodness for weekends; I really needed a bit of respite. I remember last year so many seniors told me how easy this year would be. I guess all the relaxation doesn't kick in until we're accepted into college. Oh well, it's still nice to be back at the Abbey ( Read more... )

Senior year has been underway for about half a week now, and I'm still adjusting to the rhythm of school. I'm happy to be back, but it's tiring. I was enjoying some extra sleep this morning until a crew of painters began banging around on my shutters. Apparently we're having the front of the house painted over again. Today's Labor Day though; ( Read more... )

As the days of June fade into the heavy heats of July, I return to Washington for the next three weeks or so. Life continues to go quite well, thanks be to God. I've had a nice mix of busy activities and time to relax over the past few weeks ( Read more... )

Summer continues to roll on beautifully. I've been doing my best to fully appreciate the time, so I haven't been too lazy.

I stayed up late last night putting the finishing touches on them so they'd be all ready for reviewing. I got to school early so I could go through the graduation arrangements ( Read more... )

Freedom is officially mine. The ethics exam was pretty easy; I think my essay was pretty persuasive even though I took an approach with Aristotle which Ferris probably wasn't anticipating. After the exam, we had a student council meeting to get field day organized. I didn't realize until looking around the room yesterday just how many people are on ( Read more... )

Well, somehow I've managed to make it through the last two weeks of exams with my sanity still fairly intact. The first week was especially tiring, with exams every day except Wednesday. The past week wasn't bad at all though: a rather unpleasant chemistry final on Monday and the two Latin tests on Friday. Nevertheless, I still ended up falling ( Read more... )

Classes have ended, and exams are beginning. This year went by really quickly, faster than any other year I can remember. I suppose it's also because everyone except us and the seniors still has class for another three weeks or so ( Read more... )

A short, lazy sort of entry ( Read more... )
