Hi! Here's an update.

Happy International Day of Peace!

On another note, I've been quite busy with school and clubs... Running my own is certainly not easy. I also have a leadership role in every club that I participate in, so things can get hectic sometimes. I love every minute of it all, though.

Youth orchestra has begun, and so have my weekly bassoon lessons with my other teacher. I'm really looking forward to it!

I'll be sure to update you more in the coming days.

By the way, today was the first day that I had only a light amount of homework! Yay! I've been enjoying it. Also, I was lucky enough to enjoy the last day of summer, when it hit 78-80 degrees!

Bye for now!

One week into school...

Hello world, again!

Hope you're all doing well. I was asked to write about keeping a blog for Voices, so I'm going to do that as soon as I finish this post!

So, we're one week into school now, and I'm a little booked with homework right now, so I figured I'd take a blogging break. I'm taking all Honors, one AP, and journalism and band. I'm happy that I can take personal fitness (i.e. go to the fitness center) for gym this year, because otherwise, gym+me=struggle! I've had all of my classes except for gym as of now, and I love my teachers! I seem to have a lot more work than last year, but I'm figuring things out as I go along.

Currently, I'm 29 pages into reading and annotating "Peter Pan", and 2 1/2 pages into my AP World homework. I've still got to write several other 400 word essays and such as well. Wow!

I just wanted to check in with the blog while I had the few minutes to do so!

PS - My brother was channel surfing and saw this on PBS Kids! I wish that I had this show when I was little! Adorably hip!
