Stardate 8.31.15  A week at the VSA 

This weekend is one of recovery and as much sleep as possible. It was a busy week, accompanying my son on transport to the Vulcan Science Academy all week. We had arranged to stay in a mid-expense hotel, but after checking it out, I deemed it too stinky and undesirable, so we left and headed to the nicer hotel farther south, closer to the Academy. I was a bit too excited to sleep much, but able to get him to his first class on time Monday morning. His Monday schedule was Language, History, Robotics, then Physics. Halfway through they get a lunch break, during which, he twisted his ankle trying to extricate himself from the bench seating. Of course, he felt no pain so kept walking on it and figured it was fine. By the time I found out (3 hours after his school day was complete, in the evening) it had swelled up, but was too late to take him to a doctor. We iced it and I made him rest it.

On Tuesday, we packed up in case we had to go to our regular doctor near our home, but after a couple hours, the swelling was down and he was able to walk with minimum pain and talked me into allowing him to go to the second half of his Tuesday schedule at school, which included Technology and Research, the latter's instructor is the same for his Math class, so he was able to get the syllabus and assignment to work on at night. After dismissal, I picked him up and headed home, to unpack and prepare for the next day. I had hoped to stay longer, to explore the private beach and pools, but with his injury, I figured I'd go back to do it another time.

I'm Returning ASAP

On Wednesday, I drove my personal vehicle (a 35-minute trip, which was shorter with the new route I found), and spent the whole day there, helping out in the front office and getting to know more about the school and students. Being a former secretary, I proved my usefulness to the staff and they were very appreciative, so I will try to return for a day or two each month to help out. It was nice to feel valuable.



Also this weekend, I got back to some of my own courses, finishing four exams about Klingons, since I had read most of the manual previously. There was more reading and research to do, but I'm glad I'm becoming familiar with it now, a month before the upcoming Klingon Dinner that I may possibly be attending. I need to ask my Klingon-acquaintance about it and the rooming situations. The only issue to overcome - I don't have anything to wear for it yet, not even an official Starfleet Uniform. So, I've got to really research and decide what to do about that.

Ok, ok, I'll say its good!
