I'm very proud of myself!

I'm getting good grades for the first time since...since...I can't even remember. It's a good feeling knowing that I've worked hard and am being rewarded for it. I'm really on my way to getting my GPA raised!

Another good thing is that my counselor says I don't need to take any summer classes, which will allow me to do fun things like go to the beach and get tattoos and go to theme parks (finances permitting, as my job at school is being threatened due to budget cuts). This should be a good summer!

Thoughts...

I have somewhat of a dilema. I need to come up with a bible study for camp. Now, usually this isn't really a problem for me, but the particular bible versus I need to study deal with equality. The thing that bothers me the most about this is that the first thing that came to my head when dealing with equality is something that is considered inappropriate to talk about at a Jr. High church camp. It's gay marriage. With everything that the LBGT community has been facing with Prop 8 lately, that subject was of course the first thing to pop into my head. But I fear that if I talk about it at camp, parents will be less than thrilled that their child will have learned about gay marriage at a church camp. So, now I have to come up with something else to talk about. One story that popped up in my head was the story of the Rainbow Fish, and I can definitely use that as a vehicle for the subject but I need a personal story. Any suggestions? I guess it's a good thing that I'm going to a staff training session this weekend. Maybe I'll get some ideas there.
