On the first day back, I spent
some time pulling weeds in our garden and patio. As I emptied out my trash can, which I had
used to carry a lot of my stuff home, I found a new bottle cap for my
collection, which Sinho must have thrown away in there, as well as one from a
coffee soda at Better Cheddar (which tasted awful), and from my Deschutes beer
I bought at Crazy Dog’s, which didn’t care so much for the taste of either. I also found out Maria had accepted my friend
request, as of course I thought she would.
I went down to Better Cheddar and got a new bottle cap from my drink I
got there. I also got an e-mail from
Horizon’s public relations coordinator asking for a ten-twelve sentence article
telling what I had done since leaving Horizon, what I missed most about or
benefited most from the school, and what I looked forward to doing this summer
and to see if I could get it to them by May 13. I told her I would be happy to and typed up
the article. Unfortunately, a virus on
my computer prevented me from sending it that day. I also talked to Tyler again.
On Sunday I went with Mom and
Dave to CafĂ© Provence for Mother’s Day. After that we drove up to Hen House where several of my fellow employees
were happy to see me and one of the managers said she would let Rick, the
assistant manager know I stopped by and that I was now able to work, and I
would be on the schedule by the twenty-fifth. On Monday I went on Amazon and ordered myself The Divine Madman as my reward for doing that one day’s reading for
my Early American Literature class, as well as a Lonely Planet Turkey book to help myself plan a trip to Catalhoyuk,
which I had learned about in my World Archaeology class, and perhaps to bear
witness to the Armenian genocide. The
next day I unfortunately had to retype my piece for Horizon, but I did it,
making it pretty much the same as I had before, and I e-mailed it to Mrs.
Campbell from Horizon. I also drove to
and back from Hen House with my mom and there I filled out a W2 form so I could
get back on the schedule. I also got a
new bottle cap from the drinks we got there. Later I went with my granddad to Winstead’s before going to Barnes and
Noble as we always do afterwards, where I got a new edition to Lonely Planet’s West Africa, and then
went to the Pathless Land for the first time in a while. On Thursday I went to my art class with Donna
for the first time this summer, driving there and back. I also went to BE Tech to look at a new
laptop. The next day my mom and I went
down there again and got my new computer. I did also go down to Better Cheddar and get two more bottle caps from
my drinks and my Lonely Planet Turkey book
in the mail, and the day after the next day I got The Divine Madman. The over
the next two days I also got two new bottle caps both days from my drinks at
Better Cheddar and on the latter of the two days I checked my grades and found
out I had gotten B’s in my Film Appreciation, Modern Sub-Saharan Africa, and
Early American Literature class, and an A in my World Archaeology class.
