Summer vacation

Just had my final test, I only had 2, so I managed to finish pretty quickly. Anyways, so summer vacation is here, so why am I not excited?

Don't get me wrong, not having to go to school is great, but it just seems to be that summer vacation has lost a lot of it's...flair, I guess, compared to just a few years ago. As usual, the vacation started horribly: I learned that I loat some psychology book and will now have to pony up to cover my own ass, and then I went to the bank to cash a check, and somehow, in the three minutes that I was there, the computer managed to CRASH! First they told me that it was all good and that the transaction had been saved so that I would still get my money, but when I checked again a few hours later, they basically told me "What check?" Now I don't know what I should do. It was $35 for a tie rufund from my band teacher, so I guess it's not a lot, but for me, it's a huge blow considering I'm already owing money to the school. So yeah, that sums up my horrible day. Before, when things like this happens, I could usually count on the summer to be great and refresh me and get me ready for school. But now, I'm just annoyed that I'll have so many things to do this summer: get a job, get my driver's license, study for the SAT, take my online course.

The online course is apparently really easy, so I'm not too worried about it. But still, it's a month of school that I would really rather not have to do.

As for the SAT, I know I don't really have to take it, but I would like to see how much I can score and maybe go to the States for university. Again, it's a LOT of studying that I would really rather not have to do.

Now, I realize a lot of you probably think: "you're retarded, a driver's license is a great thing, just imagine the freedom!!!" And you're probably right, except I doubt my parents would actually let me drive the car when I'm alone, and if they're there, it seems pointless for me to drive. Sure, I suppose I could try to save up for my own car, but that would cost a LOT, more than I can realistically earn anytime soon. So, you'll have to forgive me that I'm not excited about trying to get a driver's license that I won't even use for a few years.

I'm not sure it's the job search or the job itself that annoys me. I just don't want to get a job. I've sent out a resume to the library since they're my primary option. Their pay is horrible for Calgary though, $8, considering every fastfood restaurant out there is offering wages in the $9-$10 range. But they probably won't hire me since they are pretty full anyways, so I won't have to worry about that. Then I was thinking something along the lines of McDonald, you know, your average fastfood place, but I'm not really excited, for obvious reasons. Then there's the fact that I don't really have that much use for money right now anyways.

Now, you're probably saying: "you are an idiot! if you don't want to do this stuff, then just don't do it!!!" A valid point, but I really need to take the online course to free up some time in my grade 12 year for ap courses. And I don't hate the SAT, just the studying that preceeds it. The driver's license I'll have to get eventually, so why not now? But the job is completely my parents' doing...

So yeah, that's my summer plan, not excactly the greatest vacation idea. But I guess summer is suppose to be a fun time, so what are you doing reading this depressing post? Go outside, hang out with your friends, play a ball game to stay active, or just go take a walk to soak in the summer sun...cause before you know it, school will be just around the corner
