Out of School

Finally, I'm out of school. I deserve a break. My grades are not as good as I had hoped. I think I may have got a D in Algebra 2. I missed a day in school, and I missed a test that day. I could have taken it the next day and everything would have been fine, but, as some of you may know, I have a procrastination problem. So, by the time I thought I was ready to take the test the opportunity had passed. However, I was awarded a Certificate of Outstanding Academic Performance for scoring in the top ten percent of students nationally in taking the Iowa Tests, and my area was in mathematics. That has to count for something doesn't it? Along with that award, I also got 3 other certificates, one for doing well in english, one for being a Computer Wiz, and one for being a Financial Wiz. I beleive that makes up for my bad grade. If it doesn't, then it will always be a reminder of my bad habit. I just wish I had some help breaking this habit. I probably could have had A's in all of my classes. I feel proud of myself all the same.

Baby

I'm not exactly sure I was ready to have a baby in the family yet. We still played with Kjersti and Jay regularly, and we still do, but it's not as fun anymore. Kameryn needs all of our attention, and our games are always being interrupted. Once, I had invited Kjersti and Jay to watch some Scrubs Season 3 with me. They came over and when Kameryn started to cry they had to go out into the front room. When Kameryn stopped crying they just stayed in the front room, either because they didn't want to move her, or because they were too tired. When Kjersti and Jay say their coming over, I'm not as excited as usually am. I don't want this message to stop them from coming over though. I'll have to get used to it eventually (It's not like were getting another baby in the family very soon.) Another thing that I've noticed is that I'm not as excited to hold the baby as some of you are. Maybe it's a girl thing.
