Never going to summer school again...

...Because it's too fast. There's so much information to process in such a short amount of time! I took two classes over the summer, voice and advanced algebra. Voice would have been nice, had I not been coming straight from camp every day. My voice was practically shot - but I have learned some lovely classical songs that are nice to add to my list of songs I can perform upon command. My voice teacher loves me (coincidentally, she is in choir with mom at 1st Pres.) and is bugging me to take lessons with her throughout the next year. I told her that once I find the money, I'll do my best. We'll see.

Math has been hard. I haven't been able to concentrate fully, because by the time I would get to my math class at 6pm (the class was about 3 hours, twice a week) I'd be exhausted from a full 7 hours at camp, and I could only eat dinner on the nights Thomas's mother took pity on me and would send me a dinner. (DISCLAIMER: I usually packed myself a big lunch on those days which normally was enough, but you know mothers.) It's also a subject that just doesn't come naturally to me. The teacher, while nice, was not able to help me "see" the problems, as my last couple of teachers have. However, I've been managing to keep my grade right above passing, so now I just have to worry about the final on Thursday.

Life is moving much too fast sometimes, and much too slow at others. I'm dreading the start of school again, but at the same time I'm looking forward to it. School means a more steady schedule! I've also gotten myself a job babysitting/nannying 4 afternoons a week for two adorable children. The little girl was actually in my group at camp (she's the dark-haired girl in braids in my post about camp) she's 7, and her brother is 4. I'll be caring for them through the school semester, and then I might also be looking for another morning job, if I can get one that a) I can get up for, and b) Will let me off in time for a 10am class. We'll see. It's going to be a very very busy semester, that's for sure!
