I'm delighted. Now I'm an Honors Fellow, I don't think I'll ever be able to escape the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. Nor do I want to. It's been a week since all of us students returned from Princeton, and I'm starting to receive emails. These were some neat people at the honors conference, and I feel privileged to be able to hear a bit of what they'll be doing. Further, I also received an invitation from ISI itself, inviting me to a seminar in Philadelphia on Sept. 8-11. They will, the email reassures me, pay for my transportation and room & board again. :D :D SHWEET! The only problem is that that would probably be the weekend that Gabi (roomie) and I celebrate our joint 22nd b'days. They let us go early Sunday morning, however, and I would be able to drive back in time to do something that evening. I'm sure it will work out. At any rate, I faxed in my registration form already. At the worst, I'll take two days of class skips. At the best, PHC'll give me an academic absence for something this worthy. :D

I've surrendered and decided to just enjoy the rest of summer. I'm spending my quiet time, working, reading, writing a bit, watching movies, spending time with family... Is good. I realize this might be a good opportunity to learn how to rest. It's a strange concept, because I've been running straight through for 15 years of my life. We never took vacations from homeschool when I was growing up, and I was always working for my parents. It's hard for me to stop.

Speaking about hard to stop, I'm feeling the urge to type something thought-provoking and start an argument. But that would take too long, considering that I should do weights before I drop the sibs off at youth group this evening. ttfn!  ¶ 3:06 PM
