Ok, Ardith is back to

Ok, Ardith is back to her semi-normal state of insanity. Which means I need to find a calendar somewhere.

*hunts around for calendar*

Why, you ask? Just wait and see. I will reveal all as soon as I find one.

*gives up hunting for paper calendar and looks online*

Okay. I have a little less than 6 weeks until I leave for school. 6 weeks in which to read as much as possible, earn as much money as possible, and try and figure out why I have this sudden urge to buy some more tools.

However, 4-5 days out of that time will be used up in helping my little sister start her College Brainwashing... oops. I meant to say orientation for Grace College. That is about a week before I head back to school, and a week before that I'll be going bonkers driving myself hither and yon; that's when our church has its yearly Family Camp, and while it's loads of fun, I shall be a very busy little girl. And that's really only a couple of weeks away. So the summer's not so long after all.

And now, having completely distracted you and messed with your poor little minds, I shall reveal the real reason I was hunting for a calendar.

*drum roll*

You're not paying attention! Yes, you in the front row. Pay no mind to the fact that the ceiling is being stomped on by various large land mammals. If the plaster isn't cracking yet, you're not in mortal danger.

*another drum roll*

Umm... where was I? Oh yes...

*yet another drum roll*

The real reason I wanted to know how long until I get back to school is this: Once I am safely esconced in my dorm room, I'm going to do something really, really, fun. I'm going to spend $50 on books I want to buy. All will most likely be used, as they're cheaper that way. However, I'm taking nominations for Really Good Books which are Worth Spending Money On. I probably shan't take many of your suggestions, but I shall at least contemplate them. And that alone is worth marking down on a calendar.
