oh I just described a normal summer day, didn't I? I think it should be law that school is officially over once the weather turns summerish.
so here's what my summer looks like. revised.
I finish school up on Monday, with a final on Thursday. still teaching every tuesday and thursday until the 29th, when I get to start monday lessons earlier in the day - which will be fantastic! I need to find some homeschooled students next year so I'm not teaching evenings anymore. it sucks.
father/daughter camp this weekend!!!!! I'm super-excited about that. I need to make a CD for that.....*mentally revises list of "things I need to do today*
hopefully squeeze in a sleepover somewhere this month. that kind of depends on everyone else's schedule.
For 4th of July we're going to my aunt's in Coeur d'Alene for the weekend. I may go over earlier in the week and work around her house for some extra cash, if she has some odd jobs for me.
come home Sunday and leave after teaching Monday for Portland...maybe. still need to talk to my cousins about that one.
get home Friday and play at church on worship all weekend. visit with Norweigan cousin Sunday night. Monday start working at the King County Fair for some more extra cash - hopefully.
finish work Sunday and leave after teaching Monday for the condo - seven glorious free days of sun, pool, river, read, AC, eat, relax, repeat. this will be my actually for-real summer.
come back Sunday, teach Monday, leave for Camp Hope on Tuesday. five glorious days of you guys!!!! the other highlight of my summer.
return August 1st, prep for India, leave August 15th.
come back home and try not to die before school starts. meet new little sister who will have mysteriously arrived during my absense. have a PotC marathon with her. hang out with friends.
/end summer/ start school. :-/
blah. if you made it this far you're probably crazy or just really bored. :) I really put this up for my own personal reference in the months to come. I don't know how I'll keep it all straight. :P
and yet I'm excited all the same.......
Sounds awesome!
ReplyDeletehaha...thanks Beth. :) Most people I'm talking to think I'm crazy actually. my neighbors are like, oh my gosh how can you do all that?!? but honestly, I think it will be a lot calmer than past summers I've had. I actually want to do most of the stuff I'm doing, so I guess that's the whole point.
ReplyDeleteYou are very well organized, it seems.
ReplyDeleteWell I'd say today was pretty productive. I got everything done except that research stuff.
ReplyDeletetomorrow: wake up, repeat.
haha thanks Jacob. I seem to take after my mom a little bit in that way. it seems that I end up keeping track of many of my friends' lives for them.
"Becca, don't you have an appointment with your counselor in half an hour?"
but it's fun. just...every now and then I'm on overload for awhile. the beginning of summer is usually like that. it'll calm down soon. turns out I'm not going to Coeur d'Alene early, which is probably a good thing. and I got a lot of packing done today so I'm getting really really really really really really really really really excited for father/daughter camp!!!!!!
*bounces*
ok bed time. g'night all.
lol. I think I'm like you in that Kacy . . . mostly I stay pretty organized, and I enjoy figuring out ways that everyone can do what they want to do so it all fits together and then everyones happy . . .
ReplyDeletebut then sometimes I get overloaded too.
yes, that happens to us all.
ReplyDelete*smiles* I would say that we're probably similar in that area, yes. :)
so today I'm packing and then studying Hindi and practicing piano all before I leave in two hours....you guys may not hear from me again until we come back. which really means until Tuesday because I'll sleep Sunday and try to catch up on life and school on Monday. :P
You are going to miss me twice while I am down there. tsk tsk
ReplyDeletetwice? when is the other time besides family camp?
ReplyDeleteAnd if you do go to Cour'd Alene, you need to make a side stop in Clarkston on the way back! *grin* you'll only be like 2 hours away from where I live. lol of course you probably don't have time and Clarkston never seems to be on the way to anywhere...hmm. That is a problem...
ReplyDeleteNew little sister? are you guys adopting or something?
Actually it is more than two hours Sarah. ;-) Trust me, I know.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be in the Couer'd Alene area just a few days before you! Can't you come like the 28th and listen to my testimony at another church???
my summer is not busy, unlike yours . . . :)
ReplyDeleteOh....well maybe so. What is it? 2 and a half? I was pretty sure it wasn't 3...hmm. Well actually it turned into like a 5 hour trip for us once but that was just cause our tires went out and the tow truck dudes took forever to come XD lol that was actually a really fun trip.
ReplyDeleteSo, uh, Kacy, about that party I was supposed to let you know about right away... (ops)
ReplyDeleteSunday nights to Monday mornings are just hard for me because we don't get home from church until like 9:00 and then I have to leave for work by 9:30 the next morning. But I'll still come if that's when you guys decide to do it, for sure. Let me know.
