No More SOW

Thursday morning marked my first online omnibus class of the year!!  Meeting my teacher, Mr. Etter, and my new classmates was very exciting!  We learned what was to be expected in class and what we would be reading throughout the year.  We also learned how to react to computer malfunctions (apparently your not supposed to scream and yell for your mom panic).  Mr. Etter "cured" our addiction to emoticons...mostly :P  Our first book assignment this year is the Westminster Confession of Faith followed by Pilgrims Progress.  I am very happy to be participating in the Veritas Press Online Academy for the second time.  This past summer I had been suffering with a mild case of SOW (severe omnibus withdrawal :))  Yes, as surprising as it sounds, I missed the discussions, debates and even the homework!  I hope my omnibus classmates from last year are enjoying their classes as well as I am mine!

Oh Summer Where Hast Thou Gone?

Tomorrow, the first day of school....

Tomorrow, the last day of summer....

Tomorrow, the first day of doing something productive with my life....

Tomorrow, the end of having fun....

Tomorrow, no more worrying about having nothing to do....

Tomorrow, not being able to say "I'm bored" anymore...

Tomorrow, the first day of worrying about grades that count towards my college resume...

Tomorrow, the last day of being footloose and fancy free...

Tomorrow, the end of sleeping in till 7 o'clock...

Tomorrow, the end of sitting in front of the computer...

Tomorrow, the end of mall outings with friends...

Tomorrow, the end of reading books that have no deep moral point...

Tomorrow, the end of leaving the bed unmade and saying I'd get to it later....

Tomorrow, the end of afternoons spent napping....

Thank heaven school's here!
