Last Day of August

It is 4:27 PM on this fine, cool summer day.  I just looked at the calendar and noticed that today was the last day of August!  Tomorrow, September starts and gradually the Fall season will begin to pour in from the skies.  I am not so excited that school is about to start on Tuesday, it has not been on my mind for the past few days.  Am I looking forward to school starting?  Maybe not.  I was excited earlier this summer, but that excitement washed away.  I want to return to the days when I was learning Chinese at the Dalton school along with other like- minded students.  It was fun being immersed in a totally different language.

September is going to be a busy month.  I am booked for each weekend this month.  I have my PowerScore SAT Prep to do and work with the African Film Festival right after.  Because of my booked weekends, I cannot meet a friend who is out on Long Island.  I was really looking forward to meeting him quite soon, but now, I guess I will have to put the date off for October.  By October the weather will have changed from hot to cool, and the trees will probably have started to change colors.  I think October is a better month than September. I would rather meet him then when I am sure I can travel to Long Island and while I am enjoying the weather.  I cannot wait R!

Now that September is here I have to compile a writing portfolio!  I plan on entering the Scholastic Art & Writing Contest and other writing contests that I have discovered through FastWeb.com.  I hope that I am able to win some money and be accepted into a college that I want to attend.  I am not so hopeful... I feel that things may actually turn out exactly the opposite than how I want them to be.  Anyway, I am off to read more of Lee Siegel's shockingly overtly critical, hilarious, and honest essay's.  I will be back.
