...College.
Well, it's just about that time again, fall and school is just around the corner. It only seemed like a few weeks ago graduation happened, and now, there are back to school sales everywhere, and fall stuff coming in. I can't help but think the summer actually passed this fast because to me, it was all over, 12 years of straight schooling, done with. I have to admit, there were a few times I thought I wouldn't make it, usually when my AP/Honors classes would leave me clueless, and I dreaded staying after school for extra points. But I did it, no matter how many times I wanted to go straight out the doors and catch my bus. And it paid off, though I still think my physics teacher cut me a break and gave me that point I needed to get that last half credit. But anyways. A few weeks ago, I went to go take my ACT. I've never taken an ACT before, so when I got my score back, I had absolutely no idea how to read it. The other testers were also lost, so after wandering around trying to figure it out, we all gave up. Go back to last saturday, there's a letter addressed to me from the college of my choice, waiting for me. 'Congratulations and Welcome to Lamar University' Is all I see, and that's all I need to see. I'm so happy, I didn't think I'd make it for this semester, really. Which brings me to my next point. While I am thrilled, I really didn't want to go back to school right away. I mean really, who would? My mother has always been on my back about my grades, and while I really do appreciate it, I'd like a break. No such luck, it seems, all summer long I was bugged about admission papers and transcripts and tests. Bah on all that.Well now here it is, 2 weeks from fall semester. I can only imagine the rush that it'll bring. I'd think she'd want a break as much as I did. Oh well...
