This semester is officially over. I just pressed "submit" on my last two assignments, and now all I have to do is wait for final grades to be recorded to verify my 4.0 semester. Nerd alert!
This morning, after I sent N to school with Justin, I climbed back onto my bed and went over my notes for the final I needed to go take this morning. And then I got sidetracked. The next thing I knew, I needed to be at school in 20 minutes, so I took off.
Know what's really fun? Waiting in line to get into the exam center on the next to last day of the semester. You know, I'm so glad I had an extra 90 minutes to wait. Obviously, this wouldn't have happened if B hadn't been sick, but it's not like kids plan to be sick when you definitely do NOT need them to be. Then again...they just might do that, right?
I hurried through my final with surprising ease...well, that, and I already had enough points for an A. I just had to show up. When I got out to the car, I called Cree Cree and headed to Arlington to meet him for lunch. I also had an opportunity to catch up with Stella, and I talked to my dad, although either his phone or mine were having serious issues...or maybe he just didn't want to talk to me!
Lunch was fantastic! We went to Saltgrass, and had a blast with a waiter in training who was absolutely not personable at all. It was so awkward that we had to laugh. A lot. Conversations with Chris tend to cover a ton of topics, and are usually accompanied by a whole bunch of laughter, so it was a great way to end my semester. He's coming back to Dallas in the next week or so, so I'm hoping we'll be able to get together again. I told him I've seen him more times in the last 4 months than I had seen him in the previous 15 years. Sad, but true...and totally awesome that we've been able to reconnect. I'm pretty sure that I spent a good 5-10 minutes repeating his name over and over, admonishing him for some of his choices...like I have any room to talk, right? It was hilarious, nonetheless.
When I got home, N was already home. I'd dropped a key off at school for him, knowing I'd be running late, along with a note that said, "Don't get stolen." which is our little joke when he wants to be independent. We hung out for an hour or so...just doing nothing until it was time for a short practice in preparation for their first playoff game tomorrow (weather permitting). One third of the team was in Austin for a field trip to the capital and a museum, so I figured it would be a pretty small gathering. I did NOT expect four kids to show up. That was disappointing. The boys who showed up got some decent batting practice in, though, so hopefully they'll be able to lead the team tomorrow during our game.
After practice, I submitted my last two papers, and (like I said before) I am officially done with my semester!
Yay!
