Dear Mom:

I'm already a week behind in school. We were supposed to go back last week, but we're behind schedule. They've even pulled me out of my part-time janitorial staff work to work full-time up on the working crew. Dad said I have close to $900 saved up from this entire summer. That should get me a decent set of wheels in about 2 years.

The drill was offline for about six hours yesterday, pretty much guaranteeing another two days behind schedule. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to go home. I even miss Buster. This "waking up at 4:30 in the morning" is starting to seriously suck. I can't believe that when I get back home, I'll actually be sleeping IN for a regular school schedule!

This experience has been OK. A bit lonely. A great view of the ocean, but after about eight weeks, even ocean becomes just a lot of water to look at. After this experience, I don't know what I want to do. Half of me wants to be like dad and go into a job where I can be a mechanic or an oil rig worker. Half of me wants to be a writer or a reporter.
