Tomorrow, at precisely 8:15 in the morning, my mother and I will be cramming pounds of cardigans and scarves into our suitcases, and heading northeast for Idaho.
A little background here:
I don't really know where I want to go to college next fall, but my first choice is a teeny college in Moscow, Idaho. I've already been accepted, but the school follows a classical education curriculum, which essentially means freshman year looks like this:
Latin Colloqium
Lordship Colloqium
Classical Rhetoric Colloqium
and Music Colloqium
...for everyone. Everyone = 60 students. So there's that...
I love the idea of learning Latin, but I'm really worried that school is a little more than I'm ready for. Anyways, I'll be finding out a lot more about it soon, but this relates to the blog because I'm not sure if I'll be able to post while I'm gone at all. If not, here's a story to tide this thing over:
Last year, I was (somehow) convinced (wheedled) into taking AP Psychology. And our teacher asked us to email her the morning of our absence, just to let her know we wouldn't be there. I don't have a clue as to why. But that was the rule. Anyways, as I was a particularly prickly brand of junior, I missed class... a lot. So I felt the need to spice up my absence-emails. Upon one such urge, I thought a little, and ended up sending her this:
A Poem to Inform You of My Absence
It is to my distress
that on this very day
I do heartily confess
that sadly I'm away
The funny part is that my psych teacher is best friends with my journalism teacher, and apparently they talked about it because the next day I had to explain why I hadn't written a poem to/for my very indignant journalism teacher!
If I can't post on the road, I'll be back Tuesday, and hopefully I'll be brimming with good things to say about "Operation: BIG, Scary Decision" (a.k.a. the college search).
I also wanted to say a quick hullo and thank you to Sarah and Dani-Elle for their kind comments on my last post, I hope I didn't scare you people with my bitter sarcasm... though perhaps it was only fair to warn you. ^^
What college is this?

Google will rule the world someday.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could Google search a picture (as in: upload a picture to the search bar). I don't know how it would work, but it has potential.
