My dogs are the coolest

Phantom just walked over to me and licked my fingers, then rolled over on her back. It was so cute...Trudy put her front paws on the chair and whined a little. She has one ear rolled over. My dogs are adorable.

I worked everyday in the holidays...now no more until he finishes scheduling September.

Beowulf is okay. Writing the essay for it, The 13th Warrior, and Anglo-Saxon life is really stupid. I am a horrible essay-writer. I can forever edit other essays, but I cannot make up an essay from thin air.

1 week for me, 6 days for Christa. I picked out a present for her like five months ago. Sad, hm? Oh well.

I'm currently content with my life. Not much is happening, but I like it that way. I like being able to make sudden plans and carrying them out. Life isn't much fun when you have everything planned before. It takes away the element of suspense. Or the critical suspension of disbelief. No, wait, that was definitely not believing something, but not minding that you don't believe it...Well...that's okay.
SURPRISE! There, something in your life that wasn't planned. I have no idea where I am leading.
Thus, I am a better follower than leader. Mom called me an "independent follower" on my IEP. She said that I "have strong opinions but often choose not to lead efforts to support these opinions." I think that is a nice way of saying I am lazy. Mrs. McFarlain said I am an "amazingly intelligent and compassionate young lady." There are my mom's signatures dating back to 1993. I was six years old when I got into the gifted program and her signature has stayed the same for eleven years.

Sorry this was such an odd post. Today will be strange. I'm just waiting for it.

Change is good, but some things are better left the same.
