Today I went to Math Study Hall and turned in a bunch of work and got handed back some to finish. I talked to Roger about my walkabout conflicting with math and we've worked it out. I'll turn in all of my late work tomorrow, take the remainder of section 8 with me on my walkabout along with a text book, do that work, study for the test and cumulative final and take them when I return from my walkabout, turning in my completed section 8 worksheets and therefore passing Advanced Algebra and graduating on time. As a result my walkabout is on!(knock on wood)
I talked to my aunt (Vickie and Vera) over the weekend and they both seem psyched about it. I wish I could spend another week in New York but there isn't any time, especially with the math class conflicts. Maybe I'll go back over the summer.
On a slightly unrelated note I think I'm going to have to take out my nose piercing. I realized that my walkabout conflicts with it. I'm going to be interview the elderly women of my family and fear it might be a distraction/ hindrance and I don't want anything to get in the way of my being taken seriously. I'll just get it re pierced when I get back to Ohio where nobody takes me seriously.
well, until next time...

Jordan, I am so excited about your Walkabout. It's going to be so interesting, I think, to talk to your family about their lives. I don't know much about my family, especially past my grandparents. Take advantage of these conversations. I know that you will ask good, thoughtful questions because that is who you are.
It's so great to read that you are considering how you will be perceived with the nose piercing. Normally, we're like, "Be yourself." but this is one of the situations, you are right, that you want to be taken seriously. We sometimes take these things for granted where we are because they are "normal" to us, but it's not the case as you know with others. You seem okay with this. This is a very mature response. Good for you, you adult, you.
