Who says you don't work in the summer?

I say you don't work in the summer!! That's who. Haha. I have been finalizing my schedule for next school year (SENIOR YEAR!!) and since I am enrolled in 3 A.P. classes I have accumulated some summer homework. However I'm somewhat excited to get a head start on my classes for next year! and the best part is I have an excuse to read about government and history all day and my parents can't bother me because I have the excuse, "MOM I'M DOING HOMEWORK!". Let's see if I'm a good student and don't leave my summer homework for the last 3 days of summer like every other year. another project I'm being forced to work on is my mom's new water/pond/erosion prevention/lamness garden. Last weekend the family bonded over the 4 hour removal of tree limbs. However my back did not like this task. Jo has a whole summer plan for all the work her 3 workers will be doing. Joy. Finally I have my gold award project to work on. 50 hours of community service and I'm done. yess that's my summer, but I guess its better than going to school:) (not really I love school).
okk I watched the news today. Dow Jones has gone up 6.7 points, along with the rest of the stock market. the unemployment rate has dropped to around 16% and Nancy Pelosi is feeling the heat of the media. Along with the approval of over 20,000 troops being sent to Afghanistan, the senate passes bill to provide $91.3 billion aid for the Afghan war, suspected to surpass the cost of the current war in Iraq. However the bill to give $80 million in order to close Guantanamo Bay, where 240 suspected terrorists are kept, was killed in debate. Keep up the good work Obama.
