I believe that sleeping is one of the greatest things ever. If a person didn’t get to sleep at night life would be way too long and boring. It gives you an opportunity to relax and put off their problems until the next day.
I realize that sleep is one of the more important things whenever my day sucks because I don’t get enough of it. Whenever I don’t get enough sleep at night my eyes hurt, I don’t pay attention in school, and I don’t really enjoy anything.
One of the things I look forward to most on the weekends is sleeping in. When you sleep in late enough you don’t even have to worry about making breakfast or talking to your parents in the morning, because they are already off to work.
It’s great.
One of my favorite memories was finally being able to take college classes instead of going to my high school.
For the past two summers, I have spent my free time taking extra classes during the summer. Social Studies and English were the two courses I decided to take. When I was done taking those summer classes, I was four credits ahead of the rest of my class. The reason for my taking those classes was because I knew that when I was a senior I was going to want to take advantage of PSEO (Post Secondary Enrollment Option). PSEO has given me the opportunity to live the college life for free while still being in high school.
Taking college classes has taught me a lot about being a responsible person because there aren’t any teachers to get your school work in, parents cant check your grades, and its up to me to roll out of bed in the morning and go to class. I am scheduled for class on Tuesday and Thursdays, which is very different from high school where you go to school five days a week for seven hours a day. Having so little actual class time gives me plenty of time to work during the day and stay out late on week nights.
College, so far, seems to be one of the best decisions I have made. I have gotten a full years worth of college credits for free, freedom, and responsibility all by making this decision.
I think I’ve discovered the secret of life – you just hang around until you get used to it. -Charles M. Schulz
I like this quote by Schulz, the write of the Peanut comic strip, because it makes total sense. Some things in life suck and some things are awesome. Whether things are going good for you or not, you still have to get used to it without going completely insane. Everything changes eventually and you just gotta deal with it.
The trip to Duluth this weekend was by far on of the craziest trips I have been on since this summer.
Since the beginning of this school year, I have been telling an old classmate that I would be coming to stay with him for a weekend at his campus apartment at UMD. My best friend Celleste told me on Monday that she was gonna be headed in that direction to see a couple bands play and she offered to let me ride with if i split gas with her.
The 5 hour drive went by really fast, I was sleeping in the passengers seat most of the time trying to sober up after having a couple too many shots at the beginning of the trip.
I hadn’t been to Duluth since 8th grade when I went on a canoe trip at the boundary waters by the Canadian border. The canoe trip was pretty fun but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had gone with a group of friends.
When I got to Jeremy’s apartment the first thing we did was get our things together to go snowboarding at Spirit Mountain. For the past 3 years I have been going to Big Sky Resort in Montana to go snowboarding so I was’t expecting the snowboarding in Duluth to be anything special, but the terrain park was actually better than the one I was used to in Montana. I made the whole day without falling once, up until I hit the step up jump without slowing down and caught an edge when landing, causing me to take a pretty good tumble.
The rest of the weekend consisted of sleeping during the day and partying at night. I met tons of people that went to UMD and the nearby school St.Scholastica, they all seemed pretty laid back and really liked going to school in Duluth. This Spring I’m planning on taking a tour of the school to decide if I want to go to Duluth next fall.
