forever is a long, long time when you've lost your way

[in class on break]

dear summer school,

seriously?

you sounded like such a good idea at the time. what happened? you've officially sucked my summer away and the debilitating guilt i feel about leaving the boys with a sitter for more than 20 hours a week was only slightly lessened after owen told me that he in fact likes it when i "go and get gone". -- he doesn't know what he's talking about, summer school, he's miserable without me.

and you should have warned me to never try to take a science in 5 weeks. the amount of info i need memorized in only the first 4 days has already made me cry. you're going to put me into labor, i know it.

the only light at the end of the tunnel for me is knowing that after this month, when i'm finally done with you, all of my prereq courses will be complete. which means no more school until next year. (joy)

i really, really hate you.

(but i love the 12 minute drive to
phoenix it takes to get to you. best part of my day.)

ps. could you please let the just-out-of-HS girls who attend you know that just because you start before 10 am does not mean they get to show up in their jammies. it's unsightly.

afton said...

brady lady said...

angela hardison said...

i officially felt my age when i started scoffing at all the pajama pants and slippers walking around the math building. gross. so gross.

(but back in the day, i totally rocked flannel pajama bottoms a couple times. le sigh.)

I have no desire to go back to school.

none.

which means jeff is going to die and I will be forced to work at burger king. or sweet cakes.

I have officially declared that our album for this summer. Last year it was Mates of State, rearrange us, this year it's Wolfgang Amadeus!!

Sarah Williams said...

my kids always say...mom, when are you going to go do swim lessons? They want me gone, not nagging them. The babysitters and watching Nick are much more fun when i'm no there. Don't feel guilty, kids bounce back from neglect.

Science for summer school?!? You are crazy. I couldn't complete any real sciences during a normal semester - let alone summer school, which is why I ended up taking Natural Disasters and Physical Geography (both highly recommended). I applaud you.


Back in the day, I rocked the jammies. I admit it. I also admit loving it, it was oh so comfortable.

afton said...

i'm feeling bad for my last comment. (especially because i technically quite my summer school) you definitely have the worst deal going on. two tests a week on mondays? no thanks.

kayleen said...

aft, i was gonna reply to you with a nasty comment myself, but i guess i took the higher road. oh and it's "quit" note "quite" -- maybe you should have thought about staying in that summer school for just a bit longer...i'm just saying.

afton said...

hahaha i didn't even notice that. and hey, i'm (going to be) a math teacher. i never said spelling was ever my thing

Oh Kayleen, science in the summer is horrible! The labs are so long and the information is vast! Even though I am a science nerd I hated it packed in a summer. What are you studying to be?

kayleen said...

tirsa! how are you?! i haven't seen you in forever...

oh you know, i'm applying for nursing school this july, just like everyone else and their mom is going back to school to do. that way i get to wait 3-4 semesters just to get in and then when i finally do graduate the field will be over-saturated. i make good decisions.
