I'm Slow / Come Here, Sandy

Mommy,

Wireless stopped working today and I can't fix it. I even re-set the modem and that didn't work. Dial-up is such a pain in the ass. Homework takes longer because looking things up takes minutes instead of seconds. I can't even piggy-back onto someone else's high-speed - that's how screwed up it is right now.

On Monday I got a 100 on my vocab/spelling pretest, so I'm exempt from tomorrow's real test. That means all I have is my math test. Josh and I are cutting after 6th period to go do something fun.

I got a slip to meet with my guidance counselor on Monday about SAT and college planning. Rachel and Makesha have him too, and Makesha said he's totally useless and will just either encourage me to sign up for cosmotology instead of college, or go to Rutgers. Which is obviously retarded since I have to go to a SUNY school and Rutgers is in Jersey. I hate New Jersey. So tomorrow I'm going to ask the assistant principal to come to my meeting too.

After school today Alex and I went to do food shopping and when we came out there was a dog hanging out. We couldn't find an owner and it was obviously somebody's dog. We watched it for a while, to try to make sure it didn't run into the street and get hit by a car or anything. I gave Alex my cell phone and read her the number off the tag so we could call in case it was lost. Just got voicemail so I left a message. We hung out waiting for like 20 minutes, hoping the dog's owner was just food shopping inside. Alex thought the person was, because the dog kept running to the doors, looking inside the store and wagging its' tail. Then this girl Mina from school showed up and we were talking with her and when we next looked, the dog was gone and a guy standing nearby said it went off with a person.

I'm glad the dog wasn't lost or anything (Alex is sad the owner showed up because she wanted to take the dog home and sleep with it) but pissed at that person for not taking better care of the dog. It could have run into the street or gotten kidnapped or something.

We are SOOOO definitely getting a dog when we move for my college.
Love,
Sam

Nice work taking charge of your college planning. I think most counselors are underqualified and overworked. The job is primarily yours. Hopefully you can get your wireless back - do a LOT of research.

I work for a university - if you want help or advice or have questions, I can try to answer them. I'm in IT, but can pass questions on to friends and co-workers.
