Hehe. So it seems as though I have been gone for quite a while. I'm sorry. My life happened. So I am going to update just what happened to my life in the past... month? has it been that long? guess so. aaaallll right. so.
First off, I got a job. a terrifying job. Have you ever had a job you had nightmares about? Well I got one of those. It's called teaching swim lessons. Now I know that doesn't sound particularly frightening, but trust me, it is.
Have you ever baby sat someone's kid who just never runs out of steam? or tears? or fits? Or maybe they have one of those screams that kills every living creature within three miles, except you, because they want to keep you alive to torture you and fun stuff like that. Have you ever had one of those kids? They're tough right? but do you keep babysitting for them? no. because you know better. and you wouldn't want to deprive someone else that doesn't know how terrifying this kid is of valuable babysitting experiences.
Well I cant run away from swim lessons. I cant just not show up the next day. I'm there every day for two weeks. Basically, this means that for 9 days, I hopelessly slave away for these parents trying to teach their biting, clawing, screaming, running, splashing, jumping, punching, yet adorable children how to swim. Yes. that is the problem. they are all cuter than you would believe. And yet... they come with a package. But I kid you not when I tell you that I had a nightmare about them. I don't know what exactly it is about some of their crazed, wide eyed smiles, but it causes much disruption of my REM sleep. And then after three hours, I go home, and do homework until I forget about it.
That's another thing about my life. I have homework when I come home. I'm trying to make room for other classes I want to take, so I'm doing some online stuff. Yes, last week I was up till 1 writing a 2 page paper. No escaping those this summer.
Also I took the ACT again. this time it went a lot better I think. You know. Besides the ACT's version of a pop quiz at the end. 'And now we will begin the 5th section of the ACT...' ........ and we were all sitting there quietly thinking calm things like WHAAAAAAAATTTTTTT?? FIVE SECTIONS ON THE ACT? FIVE? NO. THIS IS CRUEL. UNUSUAL. PUNISHMENT. SINCE WHEN IS THERE A 5TH SECTION ON THE ACT? IF I FAIL, I WILL SUE! WILL KILL! You know. stuff like that. and then they said something like, 'the score of this section will not be included on your final test score...' Ya. Thanks. Thanks for making it possible for me to stay here longer than 4 hours. You're a peach.
Well anyway. that's my life right now. here's a tip for the summer: put sunscreen on your ears! they will burn! and they will burn worse than anywhere else! Just speaking from experience. ta ta for now.
