But tell me... what does one pack for a trip that begins in Costa Rica, winds its way through Italy, France, Monaco, and Spain, and ends up in Helsinki, Finland?
I'm going to need a hell of a suitcase...
And that may not even be rhetorical...

Racquetball
So, I've really enjoyed playing on the Racquetball team. It's been really stressful at times, downright annoying at others, but by and large it's been fun, and it's one of those things that you can only experience once. It's the classic high school sport, and I feel like I've come far enough with it that I want to finish.
My mom thinks I need to call it good enough and quit, but she's hated Racquetball from the beginning. Now that I can drive, I think it's none of her business. But she's really angry that I'm playing again. :(
Anyhow, I told Mark that it's a tentative yes for next year, and that I want to see how the summer and the first few weeks of the season go before I commit myself to the nastier bits such as State later in the season. Junior year was hard, but Senior Year is a lot easier. Also, I am not going on the Nationals trip. I'm willing to do Rolla or something, but I've got Costa Rica and Finland to think about, so a Racquetball trip is out of the question. :P Sorry, Mark!

The End of Junior Year!
My Grades Came In. I Was Like...
oh... whatever...
:P The final count was this:
English - A
Chemistry - B
Math - C
Spanish - H
Comparative Gov - B
Health - A
German - A
GPA - 3.75
With the exception of Math, it was all the best that could have happened. I feel less angry at some teachers for being deceptive since it turned out okay in the end. I do feel like I was cheated out of a few O's, though. Wylie and Geldbach should have given me O's. :(
Ah well, my GPA is basically completely immobile. It's gone all the way from 3.6 Freshman year to 3.8 Sophomore year. Wow, what a swing. Still, I'm happy I kept it steady.
But not very happy. I hardly even care. Junior Year is OVER!!!!!
