It's Thursday!

Well, really it's Tuesday but being a Senior has certain benefits, one being that I get half days on Thursday and Friday. These quickly became off days once I found out that I wouldn't have Calculus, which, let's be honest, is the main reason I come to school now.

This weekend, I have a regatta and it is going to consume all of Saturday and Sunday. I have to be at the race course at 6 AM on Saturday and I am racing at 7:07 AM. Unless I make finals in that race (which is highly unlikely), I will have absolutely nothing else to do for the rest of the day but I have to stay until 5:30 or so. Sunday should be slightly better because I don't have to show up until 8 AM and I am racing at 9:30. Then I have to wait until 5 or 6 to row boats down to TRC. The fact that my weekend will be eaten by a regatta definitely influenced my decision to be sick on Thursday and Friday.

On a completely different note, we finished the Litmag this morning! It's been almost done for a week now but we've been editing and editing and then editing some more to try and prevent finding errors once it's printed. I'm still scared that we will have missed a comma or a colon, or used the wrong "too"/"to"/"two" somewhere but it does have to go to the printer eventually.

Yay for three-day weeks!

Forgot My Blog Post For Last Week

Last weekend was fairly busy. I performed at Coffeehouse on Friday night. I think my guitar sounded off, not loud enough and/or not perfectly in tune, but I've been told it sounded good and I'm not too worried about it. Saturday was a long day. I woke up early (for a Saturday) and went to the Farmers' Markets before practice because my mom, who normally shops for us, was at a baby shower. Then I went to a lovely rowing practice. The weather is so fantastic right now, perfectly sunny and wind-less and rain-less. I don't want the triple-digit days to come. After practice my mom, sister, and I went to the Old Settler's Music Festival to hear some good old bluegrass music, along with two of our favorite artists: Sarah Jarosz and Bob Schneider. The concerts were great, although we got too cold and tired to stay for Iron & Wine's concert at the end of the day.

On Sunday, I had lifeguard training at Lifetime Fitness, where I am hoping to work this summer. I worked there last summer and I have an official interview tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous because if I don't get this job, I have no idea what I am going to do for money this summer and next year at college. The aquatics supervisor introduced me as "Katie, who will be lifeguarding with us this summer" on Sunday so I am mainly just trying not to get overconfident.

As for classwork, I'm enjoying the labs well-enough. They're kind of like logic puzzles, which I like to a certain extent but usually frustrate me too much before I finish them. The labs work much better when I work with the people around me. Between the three of us, we can usually avoid most of the common error.

I'm beginning to get excited for graduation, still astronomically nervous about leaving home but excited to be done with waking up at 6AM and spending 7 hours in the same building.
