School's (Not) Out for the Summer

I finished my exams last week. You'd think that I'd be feeling a sense of relief, a sense of, "hey, it's all over!" And in the case of grade 10, I am. But school in general? I won't be feeling that precious feeling for another month, and it won't be nearly as meaningful because it's only half the summer that I'll be free.

Why won't I be free in July, you ask? (Who's "you"? I have no idea. No one reads this shit.) Because for most of every weekday from the 2nd to the 25th, I'll be cooped up in a classroom with a stingy old professor who never found love learning about biology. Why am I forced to do this? So I don't have to deal with it during the school year, and because in the wonderful system that is the Ontario board of education, you have to take one extra science besides the 2 mandatory junior years.

On the bright side, for the rest of the first half of July, I'll be rubbing shoulders with some of music's finest! ...Or at least, be selling their CDs literally 10 feet away from them. The yearly "international" music festival in this great city of mine starts on July 3rd and I have volunteered to work six 4-hour shifts. Yikes!

So, I'll be reporting my adventures in biology and the fabulous life of a teenager selling CDs by the bucket all July long.

And then, I'll bore myself out of my mind in August.

I'm not quite sure which idea scares me more.

Ciao!
