Ow....

I am a junior. In a few months I'll be a senior. A few months after that I'll have graduated from high school. I'm supposed to take the SAT in November. (SAT= stress. Just so you know.) The SAT will allow me to enter college and become even smarter than I already am. In theory.
I made the mistake of telling the Teacher that I'm stressed about the SAT. Her response was that instead of taking the SAT in November, take it in June- pay late fees- do nothing but study for the SAT for those three weeks- and then be done.
This is both unappealing and interesting to me. I like the idea of being done. However.... this is the time of year when everyone expects you to be less busy, not more. And from the gossip that leaks out of the unheard phone conversations (no one ever tells me anything around here; the Teacher always assumes that I know or that she already told me. That, or she tells me a few dozen times because she can't remember any of the other times she told me.) we have guests coming for an unspecified amount of time during that three week gap. With eight kids, one of them newborn.
So that's my classing future. Appealing, no?
