It's Like Applesauce But on the Ground
Sep. 8th, 2006 02:25 pmLast night I went with my parents to my brother's last open house at the high school. I wasn't really planning on going, because it's a little weird for a sister to go, but I don't do anything on Thursday nights so I figured what the hell. Turns out I had a really good time. Spent most of it talking with the English teachers that helped shaped who I am. The principal saw me talking to them in the hallway and warned me that I shouldn't be seen hanging around with ladies like them. We all told him that it was too late for that.
Then, because he'd only had one parent in all night, Mario pulled me aside with "You'll be my parent this period" and we talked about my brother and his very negative attitude. We also talked about kids in general these days (ha! like I'm that much older than them) and how being seen as smart is not good for the image. It's really kind of depressing. The most interesting people I know and that I want to spend time hanging out with are the ones that know things.
But that's just me I guess.
Today I've been vacuuming cobwebs and dusting in my room. I think I'm going to shift my Agatha Christie books around now that I've cleared up another shelf. I have way too many books. I've just now come in from picking up apples and pears in the yard. Now we can water and mow and blah blah blah whatever yard work.
My work schedule for fall quarter has been accepted. Yea. I did want to work an hour more each day, but it turns out one of my classes runs until 5:50 and I'd really rather have an hour between four hours of classes than ten minutes. So the schedule's the same: 7pm - 11pm, Monday through Wednesday. Why mess with something that works?
Back to cleaning I guess. And then new SG-1 and SGA tonight! With TWO McKays! (Much as I love SG-1, it's going to be really hard sitting through it tonight.)
