We were up early this morning to see Dad
off to the city; Mom had four cuddle buddies for the nap we had after Dad was
on his way to Crystal Springs; and then it was on to our usual morning routine
after that.
Snow was in the forecast, but it didn’t
arrive here until mid-afternoon; and we only ended up getting a couple of
inches.
Sorry about your luck, kids and teens –
exams were on for today; and they’ll go ahead on time tomorrow too!
My exams today were Math, Graphic Design,
and English. Yes, I aced them; but what’s
really great is that most of my classmates were happy with how they did today
too. While it would have been nice to
enjoy that success, we had three more exams to get ready for tomorrow; so the
big study sessions before and after dinner were at my house. Science, History, and Music were the study
subjects of the night for most of us – except for the handful of friends that
aren’t taking Music anymore this year and picked a different optional. That kept us busy, and while more than half
of our friends had other plans for dinner; Mom ended up feeding the rest of us –
and we traded that for doing a round of shoveling while waiting for the food to
be ready.
With Science being one of the tough exams
for so many of my classmates; we didn’t wrap up our study session until eleven
o’clock; and that was mostly because the parents didn’t want to deal with
driving their kids home later than that.
Michael stayed a bit later than that to help with the clean-up and one
more quick round of shoveling to deal with the last bit of snow that had fallen
since the first round; and then we had a goodnight snowball fight before he
went home and I came back inside and really got to work.
Mom skipped my Magi lesson, but I’ve had a
lot of family business work to deal with – along with my language studying and
the rest of my usual nightly computer and email checks. Getting all of that finished has taken me
more than three and a half hours; I’m totally baked now; and it’s time to crash
for a couple of hours.
Tomorrow will be a rinse-and-repeat of
today without the snow and with different subjects for the exams and study
sessions. I will manage to deal with
everything somehow, starting with that short winter’s nap; so, until next
time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
