Everyone expects breaks from school to be for catching up on sleep and social interactions. Not for Seniors at AACT, however. I plan to make this break successful by getting a head start on my Capstone project. My main project is to job shadow at a few different farms and ranches; a sheep ranch, a cattle ranch, and a corn and wheat farm. Since fall is pretty slow for corn, wheat, and cows, I'm starting with the sheep ranch (plus it was the only one available this week). Doris Woloszyn, the sheep rancher, was pretty vague on what I was doing this week, because she wasn't sure I could handle the work (little does she know how much I enjoy working on farms. MUCH better than going to a boring old gym). This week she said she was planning on giving the sheep vaccinations, moving pens, and cleaning out the pens as well. So far we've just planned for me to come one day so I can get the feel for it, and then plan the rest of my schedule that day.
Another slightly minor thing I plan to accomplish this break, is to order my proofs for the yearbook, and take my other senior pictures (you know, the nice ones where you are prancing in the woods and hugging trees and such). Not necessarily as important as starting my Capstone and getting a chunk of it done, but still important if I want to get money from my family members for college. Speaking of which, I have already finished one and a half scholarships, all I need are my SAT and/or ACT scores. The SATs I have taken, just haven't gotten my scores back, and the ACTs are planned for the 26th. Fingers crossed!
