I got home about 15 minutes ago after volunteering about 4 hours to work the ACEI Book Fair on campus. It would have made for a -very- long day for me today, but I e-mailed the Title 1 teacher this morning and told her that I wouldn't be making it in today because I felt like crap when I woke up this morning. So, I've got about 3 more weeks to squeeze in 6 more hours of volunteer time there...hopefully that's enough.
Anyways. I was there from 4 to about 10 til 8. I wasn't sure how long it would take to pack everything up afterwards, but I volunteered to stay and help. I found out after I started my shift that we were getting an additional $20 worth of free books for staying to help pack up (that $20 being added to the $30 I was already getting for working the 3-hour shift). I already went in on Tuesday and bought about $55 worth of books for about $24 (everything is 50% off). So, I've got a pretty good start on my personal children's library. I plan on buying more during the fair next year, but I haven't decided if I'll be volunteering again because next spring I'll be doing my senior block and I don't know if I'll have the time to volunteer.

In other news. I have a midterm tomorrow that I haven't really studied for. I should be worried about it, and I'm sure that I will be tomorrow morning, but right now, honestly, I could care less about that midterm. This quarter sucks so much and I can't wait for it to be over. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'll be getting some low-ish grades this quarter and I think I'm okay with that.
I would say that I'm looking forward to summer break, but...I'm not actually getting a break this year. I decided to take classes this summer so that I won't get overloaded (or stuck taking 5 classes) any quarter next year because I figure my "senioritis" is going to be bad enough. Plus, I really don't want to have to take the music class with the mean lady my last quarter in college...I don't think that would be a good idea.
I just really want a long break from school. By the time I graduate next spring, I'll have been in college for 7 straight quarters without a significant break...I don't know if I can handle that. Fortunately I'm only taking 6 credit hours this summer and I'll only have 13 credits Fall quarter, so maybe I'll be able to relax a little those quarters and it won't be as stressful as my others have been...?
