harbinger

A harbinger is a person or thing that predicts the future. I inadvertently did this on friday, for saturdays sermon. Friday I blogged about patience and on saturday Father Paraniuk had a homily about patience. I will be trying my luck again this week to see how much of a harbinger I am. 

My youngest sister is causing some more problems at home. She has decided that while mom and dad are on vacation, she was going to have a party. This is causing some problems for their house sitter. Some 19 year old girls like having to much fun, and this one is doing the same. My dad jokes around that they had it easy with me. When I was 19 I was going to southern state and working construction for A-1 on my off days. I stayed at home and played video games when I didn't have anything else to do. 

I did get pretty good grades at sscc, but it wasn't a real challenging school. I don't see or for that matter like, how the PSO program works with southern state. It is putting too much pressure on sscc's faculty and taking away all the good students from the high schools. I think that if you are a high school student you should be at the high school during the school day. If you don't need to be there, sign up for a class you don't need and learn something new. I thought high school was to much fun to be toiling away at sscc. I especially thought this back in 01-02 when I was attending sscc. There were to many high schoolers wandering around there back then, it felt more like a high school than a college. I couldn't take another year of that so I applied to Ohio State and started in the fall of 02. The PSO program may be good for students to get college credit, but that starts some of them at a junior level of college classes by the time they are entering a four year university. Some of them may graduate college before they are 21. I think the high schools are to catering to their students more than they should. There are too many incentives being given out to motivate students to do what they should be doing anyways. 

I am thinking about volunteering to be a sunday school teacher at St. Marys in hillsboro. Their bulletin says they are looking for two adults to teach at least 8 sessions starting in october. One would be 7 through 8, and the other would be 9-12. I don't know how I would be welcomed as a newcomer, but I need to introduce myself to Father Paranuik anyways.
