Day 41 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure how much I have to say. I'm almost totally prepared for my Writing test on Thursday. I have only two more chapters to complete, maybe one more to re-read, and I will feel totally confident that I have enough knowledge to score 710 on my writing essay. A lot is hanging on my ability to a write an organized, on topic essay. Tough stuff. I always have so many thoughts. Thankfully, I have practiced the ability to harness them and put them, in order, on paper. Hopefully, I'll have all this studying done by tomorrow so my brain can have a few days off.
Wednesday I have a Recreation trip to capture salmon to bring to the fish hatchery. Hopefully I can be excused from K.P. to go. I'm really looking forward to it.
There was no Rec staff today, so Donovin and I (the two options for Rec President, although he really doesn't deserve the position) we placed in charge. We were told that one of us needed to be in Rec at all times. If one had to run an errand, the other could keep an eye on the place. Well, after I had already been at Recreation since 1400*, I asked Donovin to cover for me from 1600-1630, only half an hour, so I could do mandatory centerwide with my dorm. We refused, saying he was "busy" and he couldn't break his schedule. When I asked him what his schedule was, he said that he was cleaning (by choice, mind you). I tried to explain to him that someone needed to be here. He then retorted that since Rec staff wasn't here, it wasn't a big deal. Well, that's not the the point, I said. I finally just let it slide and wrote an a letter to the dorm staff (one of the girls took it up for me), apologizing and asking to be excused.
After that was taken care of, Donovin decided to break the rules and chew tobacco in Rec. His defense was, and I quote, "There's no staff so it shouldn't matter". I don't let anyone else chew in Recreation and I told Donovin that as a Rec Leader he need to follow the rules just as much as everyone else, or more. He got angry and stormed out. He said he was just going to quit. That's not what I was aiming at but if that's the way he feels, so be it.

Hey girl, Michelle here =) I took the writing test last year!! Yep.. your going to do fine. I think the hardest part for me was them giving me a topic that I had never thought about before and writing a complete essay in 45mins. But... you probably spend less than that on your blog and your blogs are AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! Mich.
Dear babe, just let me add that it might help to reread before you hand it in. I'm absolutely certain that you will catch any typos, repetitions or wondering thoughts that way.
AND GET SOME SLEEP!! Your so right that your brain needs to relax and rest up before a big test!
Good luck babe, can't wait to hear all about it.
Love, Mom
