End Of Semester @ MindSay

It's almost the end of the second week of the semester. I'm feeling okay about this so far. It's a small wake up call from the laziness of high school, having every class every day for 5 days straight. Now i only have 2 days with the same class a week, and classes only 4 days a week, like a typical schedule there.

I finally found work, and so far I like it. I think I'll catch on pretty fast, especially since I don't want to be fired too soon. Unfortunately it's only 4 hours x 5 days in my schedule, and at a little above minimum wage, I'm not going to be getting much out of it like I could have working full time during the summer.

Ugh, I need to fix my sleeping schedule so I'm not passing out in class.

Hey all,
Finally this long semester is drawing to a close!! Early next week I will partake, along with about 1600 other Hartwick Student, in the long awaited final semester exams!! They make them sound so serious!! I’ve been here too long - I know the drill. They mean no more or no less than the other 3 or 4 that you have undergone in the duration of the semester and really all the hype is just for those wee freshman that are sitting their first ones, so they can make that phone call home to mum and dad and tell them how hard they have been studying and how well they are going to do. Ohhh back in the day!!

Its funny, when you all arrive on campus everyone is happy and rejoicing in seeing all their school friends again after a long break but as we come closer and closer, and the length of time between the last trip home and the present is getting longer and the need getting stronger, people are changing. Their patience seems to burn away and everyone seems like they are sleep deprived. Whether it is a bad case of sleep deprivation or what but its bad and the further on in semester the worse it gets, except for those kids who (and I would only call them lucky for the fact that they get to go home all the time, but I would call them very unlucky for not living in such a beautiful exotic place as some of the rest of us – not to say that upstate NY isn’t exotic, just in its own way!!) go home every weekend.

Well as I said exams are upon us and I really haven’t opened a book, I have 5 of which I get two I don’t NEED to open a book, I'm assessing management companies on proformas already set up on my computer – just put in the numbers, and the other 3 will have their books cracked and the dust blown off once again before I trek off down the hill to sell them back and make a stunning profit.
Well other than that I will be living in the library for the next couple of days to study for these three exams. I figure I might as well keep up my excellent grades that I have maintained through the semester so far!! Oh well you can only hope for the best!!

Catch up soon, will write again when I'm right in amongst the hustle and bustle of packing and getting where you need to be for the Christmas break!!

tuesday, that word - that day, i'm dreading. i don't wish to go back to school, and for a number of reasons too. not because the classes are too long, not because i don't like my teachers, not because i'm not in classes with my friends, no. none of those are my reasons. the majority of the teachers i have, i don't mind, there's only two i wish i didn't have. in all of my classes i have at least two friends in the same class, that's great. okay, the classes are long. but it's not what i'm complaining about.


i didn't have a real summer.

i have 82 days of summer this year. i've past by 79 of those days already. compared to most summers, i didn't have that much fun. i can even name the days that were fun. i can even name what i did!

june 15 (first day of summer)- shopping
june 16- dinner and dance with the whole grade.
june 23- movie
june 25- party
july 1- canada day/movie. i'm only really counting this day as being half fun, because this day was also edgefest, and i couldn't go.
july 10- movie
july 15- movie then party
july 21- movie
august 5- came home from cottage, i only liked that day because i got to come home.
august 12- party
august 21- movie
august 27- party
august 28- movie
september 4- i will be at a movie.

13 days. 13 days out of 82 were fun and memorable. there were probably a couple other fun days thrown in there, but none that were memorable.

my summer was pretty much wasted, that's why i don't want to go back to school. i feel like i havn't had a summer. i want a summer. i live for summer. i like the freedom, i like the sleep, i like the activities. i like having the option of waking up or going back to sleep at noon. sure, you can do that on weekends. but then you need to fit work in there, weekends don't become weekends. they become one day for work, one day for anything but. and that one day goes by pretty quickly, and there's only about 4 of them a month.

yes i miss my friends, i havn't seen everyone this summer. that's my main reason for going back. i might be more accepting about the end of summer and this coming year, if my first class wasn't my least favourite one. especially when it's taught by one out of the two teachers i'm not fond of.

i wish i could just, go back to june 14. go back and start again. maybe i could have a nice, fun summer. or maybe i would have to live through the same tedious one.

i think...

i think i'm starting to wish it was next summer...

time flyss. i can't believe grade 9 is over. its seems like just yesterday when it just began. i was so nervous coming to highschool. all the new people..the huge school..the unfarmillar hallwayss. always being late when having a 3rd floor class right after a 1st floor one. it seems you always worry about the negatives when you come across a new experience but really in the end its all about the positives. this year was soo much fun. i made a ton of friends. i performed in our 2005 culture show. i tried my hardest - academically. but i have to admit semester 1 i didnt do my best book-wise. but this semester midterm i proved i could do better with an average of 86.8! but im still a little worried i dropped in all my classes and that i wont be able to pull my grades back up in 10 more days of school and then 2 out of class exams to write. - english and science. science started off easy..98% then 92% and now its 86? i have to go back up to 92 or higher. my parents will kill me if i drop because they know when the hot weather comes along i begin to slack off. id rather be playing outside then inside finishing an english project! hopefully my average is a 90% by the end of june. classes end on june 19th. then i have my science exam on the 20th and my english exam on the 23rd. then i go back on the 30? i think to get my report card. im soo looking forward to the summer though. im going to be getting most of my volunteer hours completed. working at my moms clinic. and im going to be writing alot, going to wonderland because i have a seasons pass, sleeping over at my cousins and just enjoying the freedom and the fact that i can be lazy and get away with it :) then its off to grade 10. a new year. i dont want the grade 9ers to be coming tho i know that sounds so rude and dumb considering i was just a 9er. but the thing is knowing the 8s from my elementary school? the teachers are in for something horribly special. well everyone enjoy the few days left of school cause summers heree.
