Trip up to the "S"

Yesterday I hiked up to the "S" overlooking the town with a few friends. As we climbed we passed many old, rusty cans, most of which were from the annual school trip up to re-paint the "S". Apparently they can carry cans full of paint up, but can't manage to carry empty cans back down afterwords. Go figure.

We stopped for pictures on the way up and once we got to the "S", including a panorama of the valley. We all had a fun time, and it was a good hike. Not too exhausting, but good exercise. Kind of a last hurrah for the semester, with only a few finals left and packing and moving home.

AP classes are worth the work!

On Wednesday I went to academic advisement to see about the summer term, if it would be better than fall semester as far as cost and so forth. I found out, however, that I already had enough credits to graduate, although I lacked one of my General Education requirements. The reason for this was the three AP classes I took in high school, which together provided me with 17 credit hours and three GE requirements right when I started college.

The result? This'll probably be my last semester attending here. I can take the required class online and graduate at the end of the summer, ready to move on to a four-year university. The best part is that I can work full-time while getting that one last requirement, and save up for the next few semesters!
