Listening: Janes Addiction- Just Because
We (me, Rog, Judy (aunt) and Summer) ventured to the Magnet School's Open House. We got there alittle after 6pm and were whisked into some commons area filled with other 'hopefuls'.
We sat for 1 1/2 hours listening to the Principal sell his school. Its pretty impressive I must admit. Really the only thing that kept going through my mind was, "Why didnt they have cool shit like this for me when I was 8?". No one (around here anyways) had never come across a magnet school until I reached 7th grade and hell if I can remember how many years ago *that* was. But the point is my Junior High was the only one of its kind around these parts and it was an honor to get in there. They focused on Communications, Technology and Math.
Now, just about every school from Elementary to HS is a magnet but they still select who gets in.
This magnet school we went too offers for the students:
piano lessons
string and band instruments (all schools offer this but they let the kids start at a younger age)
dance and choreography classes
accelerated math programs (which means by the time Sum left 6th grade she would be doing algebra, etc)
chorus and honors choir
media (they do their own 'news' for the morning announcements via their own channel and have their own radio station that covers a 5 block radius around them) including the editing
lots of guestspeakers and visitors that benefit their learning
and
alot of the classes are a full hour, not just afew minutes covering something before moving along
Its set up more like a miniature HS. And the PC labs are enough to keep any nerd such as myself happy. God, I could go on and on about that school. I so hope she gets in there.
*crosses fingers*
My old principal from HS happened to be there at the Open House. Back when I was in HS he was just an Asst. Principal and me and him got to know each other very well. Heh, god I spent entirely too much time getting my ass in trouble. Anyways. I saw him and he saw me. I was thinking no way does he remember me. NO WAY! But he kept glancing my way.
Sure enough as were done with the tour he says, Sarah! And I whirl around. He gives me a handshake, asks me how Ive been... small talk. We shoot the breeze for abit, he gives me a hug just like old times cause it was more like a long lost friend you got to see again.
He remembered Rog too, hehe. Rog got into more trouble than I did. Seemed like everyday was a ticket out of school for him rather than in. Heh, damn good times. :D
Mr. Haynes (HS Principal) asked if Sum would be seeing him at North 'one of these days'. I told him yeah and he had this big grin. Heh, I wonder what was going through his head. My lil gurl is no troublemaker....yet. ;)
I played in DOS and my registry lastnight deleting keys that were associated with spyware from porn sites. Yes, thank Rog and his week long sexcapades back in Nov for that. Dont get me wrong I love to look at porn myself but dammit man, just say NO to the sex tricks that cause me grief.
I guess my schooling at ITT payed off, eh? Thanks, ITT. Can I be in one of your commercials, too?? :P
Oh, let me just say the new points sys that Nascar will be putting into effect this season sucks ass. Not a happy gurl bout it since it seems like the first 26 races wont mean shit. Ahh well. Daytona is coming up soon! YAY!!! Go #8!!
Found out the other day that an Open House is coming up on 21 FEB for the Mortuary Science College I shall be attending lates this year, so Im thinking I should venture to OH and check it out. Could be fun. AND its the perfect excuse to go spend sometime with my baby. I told him about it and needless to say hes excited. We could spend our 6 month anniversary together, sounds damn good to me.
And yeah, we worked everything out. Makes me one happy gurlie. Dont know what Id do without him in my life. Bestfriend and lover, hard stuff to come by.
I had something else to say but I forgot what it was, so fuck it. Im out. xo
