By the way, before I say anything else, I replied to the two comments last time in another comment, but I figured I'd say in case you guys didn't notice. And to the Downright Fiction guys, I realized your page mentions to send submissions to you, but as I don't actually have a submission, not knowing what you're looking for, please leave a comment with whatever you need, whether you want me to e-mail you or something. I would be interested in writing for you though. It is one of my favorite things to do!
Visited the high school a couple times today, once for musical rehearsal, though I didn't actually see much of it. Weird how things move on, you expect everything to fall apart once you're gone. I wonder if this is how David Tennant feels. But it's a good feeling to know that I've grown since I left, because high school seems so small now. I hope the seniors this year get the same feeling of expanded horizons, because there's a whole lot more to the world out there than they ever realized...
Seriously, the costume loft has a banner with a quote from Alexander Pope on it that was put up since I left. Thanks to Brit Lit, I actually know who that guy is!
Tomorrow will be a nice day at home with Mom, as she is taking the day off. We're going to bake cookies, which I guess sounds a little silly, but I think it'd be nice to just be with my mom for a while. It's been some time since we really got to be around each other. She's been busy since I got home, and of course I had college over the last few months... Being an only child and all, I think I may have a different perspective on my relationship with my parents than kids from big families.
Being at college has made me understand exactly how much my parents love me, and how much I miss them. Even in dark hours when I'm feeling down, I don't doubt how much they care about me. I'm glad I can see that. A lot of people can't.
Perhaps, rather than putting all this money into sports, school systems should work on making their students feel good about themselves. Which reminds me, I was kinda disappointed that yesterday's biggest news was apparently a basketball coach getting fired. Glad to know that was the most important thing that happened...
There's a cartoon, possibly a Far Side strip, where it shows an alternate universe with basketball players complaining about how teachers get paid far too much. I saw it pinned on a teacher's wall last year. The thought of it still makes me smile...
(HeartGold progress: beat Pryce, sent the Rockets packing from the Radio Tower, became a Pokeathlete. Will tackle Ice Path tomorrow. Started up the Pokewalker today, put in the Shuckle from Cianwood. Takes some getting used to...)
