We still had rain falling when we woke up this morning, so
Tai Chi was indoors; but the rest of the day turned out to be pretty nice until
more rain moved in again tonight.
‘Pretty nice’ is how I’d describe how my day went too. With just three weeks left until we’ll be set
free for the summer, and only about twelve days where we’ll actually be working
on our studies or exams; I’m starting to get excited about the holidays.
The top news around school included every scrap of gossip from
the senior trip last week; and there were some stories that I have no intention
of preserving for posterity in these digital pages. With final exams two weeks away, we’re
probably done with quizzes and tests – except for working on practice exams;
but we do have some major projects due this week. That has some of our friends stressed, but
Rowen and I are pretty much done everything now; and are just holding off on
handing everything in to keep up appearances.
The best part of the day was hanging out with Rowen,
Michael, and Tim after school. We did
our homework on the back porch at my house; went biking after that; and then
Rowen and I were invited to stay at Michael’s with him and Tim for a barbeque
dinner.
Okay, one of Jacob’s amazing burgers, potato skins, and an
awesome pasta salad dinner was really the best part of my day; but hanging out
with my friends was a close second.
When Michael and Tim needed to get to the park for their
ball practice, Rowen and I stayed to help with the clean-up, and then we
rounded up Ethan and Ehlana and took them to the park to play for an hour.
We should have made that forty-five minutes, but Ethan
wanted to play with Michael and Tim after they were finished their
practice. I’m fairly sure that Ethan was
not working with Mother Nature; but I’m definitely getting caught in the rain
while Michael is around a bit too often for comfort.
Since I needed to get changed anyway after getting home with
Ethan and Ehlana, I had a soak in my Jacuzzi first, and then did a long Magi
lesson with Mom after the twins were in bed and Dad was busy in the
office. I’ve been in bed with Mandy and
studying since coming back up to my room; and that was more than three hours
ago. I’m going to shoot for two more
late study nights, and if I’m far enough along; I’ll take Thursday night off to
rest up for the long weekend.
It might happen.
Before I wrap this up, there is some local news that I found
out about while doing my nightly checks.
The baseball teams and sponsors were announced on the town
intranet. Rowen and I are playing for
Landry’s Leopards, and I’m sure you can guess that this season’s theme for our
division is wild cats. Mom and Dad are
with the Fix-it Uppers; and have Jesse Warren for their sponsor. I’m only surprised that he hasn’t been doing
that every year he’s played on the team – like Sarah and Carolyn Landry do.
There was also a new advertisement out for Quarry Lake. They’ve added new water slides for this year,
and a bunch of games geared toward seniors.
I won’t be playing much shuffleboard or bingo; but the new slides look
cool. We’ll have to get out there soon
to check them out now that they’ll be open starting this weekend.
That’s it for now, though, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
