Subject Matter: School (and Money)

So I'm going to start school in roughly a month.  High school, for anyone who cares.  My senior year.  Huzzah.  Anyway, it's a month to school, and we still haven't gotten our schedules.  Obviously, my school sucks.

A more pressing matter is my sports physical.  I haven't had that (come to think of it, I don't even know if I'm registered yet. Note to self: ask Mom), and the season starts on the 10th of August.  Yeah...

(Completely unrelated note to self: ask Mom about the Sarah Jane coat.  Nag, if need be.)

So!  Senior year of an all-honors student with a 5.04 GPA and a ACT score of 34.  Yes, I'm bragging.  No, I will not shut up.  I'm proud of being smart, and I'm in one of my rare moods where I'm accepting being smart.

Anyway, all-honors student.  Well, not so much anymore, but really, that's by choice.  I'm taking nice, easy classes this year, mostly ones that will give little to no homework on a daily basis.  What shall I do with all the extra time?  Well, aside from kicking some ass on the swim team, my sport of choice, I will be finding and applying for craptons of scholarships.  My goal to to go to a nice, small, private college, and not pay a penny for tuition, room and board, and hopefully not even textbooks!

If my evil plot succeeds, and I don't have to use any of my college savings money on actual college, I'll use it on furniture, appliances (probably just a microwave and maybe an electric tea kettle.  I already have a TV (thanks, big brother!)) new clothes, towels, dishes, Triscuits, etc.  Any leftovers will probably go towards a game system or two (DS up first, then a Wii or GameCube) and games for the systems.

Then there's the stuff I'll get for my graduation, and probably my birthday, since that's in April.  I mean, seriously siriusly, my uncle/godfather gave sixty bucks for my seventeenth!  He's probably gonna lay out, like two hundred for the graduation!  And my dad's youngest brother always gives us (as in, me and my siblings) plenty.  That's all going towards a kick-ass laptop, so that I can do some legit gaming.  My current computer, a Dell mini10, is so small, I need an external disc drive.  Memory I'm not too worried about, since I have a 1 teraByte external hardrive, so I can keep all sorts of random stuff (like audio books, TV shows, and movies) on there and not clutter up my computer.

Anyway, enough money thoughts!  Back to school.

So the hardest class I signed up for is AP European History.  I tried to the summer homework and failed miserably.  Hopefully, since my counselor likes me, and I wound up essentially in Special Ed at the end of last year, I'll be able to get my ass out of that class.  I got placed in the assistant principal's ACT prep group last year, too, and endeared myself to her, so I've got pull all over the place.

Well, I'll end this now, since it probably wasn't all that interesting anyway, and I have a story to write.  Maybe sometime soon I'll write about what I'm going to do in college.
