For all the WRONG reasons
I know it's been a long time since I last updated. This post is really to bring contentment to those of you who actually care that I have not updated (I don't need to name names. You know who you are.) I wanted to update a few days ago because I had something to say, but I never got the chance and now I don't remember what I wanted to write. It isn't important.
Montreat is Sunday! I cannot wait. Soooo glad Samantha C. is coming-finally. Extremely depressed that Joe, Jordan, and Sarah will not be coming. At least we girls get a house all to ourselves. Ours has air conditioning! I remember last year our house was tiny, puke green, literally smelled like something had died, was filthy, had a teeny shower that rocked and had sides that buckled, and had giant unidentifiable bugs of the creepy persuasion. The year before that we were all in one house with a toilet that leaked through the floor into the light fixture in the kitchen, was a little cramped, and had a floor that was slanted. But both years were fun. Next year is going to be awesome because everyone will be there (at least I hope so).
The only other thing that happened recently was that I was elected President of our Red Cross Youth Group. I don't really want to be President, but no one else was running and I figure that it can't hurt to try. It can't hurt to be able to put it on my college applications, either. I know a lot of people think that is a terrible reason to do stuff like this, but it isn't like that is my only reason. Besides, I really do love this group and the things we do. By the way, please please please contact me if you are interested in joining. 75% of our group are seniors and will all be leaving after this year.
*B-I-I-I-G gasp* Guess what happened! Guess what I found out! This makes me really upset. Not mad, really, but very very sad and anxious. Mrs.(Ms.?) Harbinson chose this year of all years to retire. And appearantly with not much notice. I had signed up for AP English 4 next year. I was counting on having that class to put in my application. Well, my mom gets a call from Brenda Smith who says that I shouldn't buy the AP books yet because they don't know who-if anyone-is going to teach AP next year. Oh, and because only about 4 people signed up for it. Now, if we do still have an AP Eng teacher/class, many people will want to sign up since Harbinson won't be teaching and the class will not be as fun or challenging. It just makes me mad because before, the only people who signed up for her class were people who were serious about learning and were willing to do hard work. Now they will only want to join because it is an easy A in an AP class. Arrg. You don't understand how frustrated this makes me. I really hope that Mrs. Smith or Gargis? can teach it, even if the people that take classes for all the wrong reasons join and spoil it.
Please, if anyone else feels this way, please comment. Even if you are not directly involved in this particular situation.
