So what have I been doing?
Well, the end of my summer was spent babysitting nearly every week day. The job was quite an experience for me, and it was also tiring. When I got home, I hardly wanted to do anything but sleep! It was a good experience for me though.
I also was able to go camping over Labor Day weekend with my extended family. I spent my days making bracelets, taking picures, swimming, playing volleyball, talking with my family and friends and going to a winery. One of my favorite parts was sitting around the campfire, making eclaires and talking with my family under the stars. Thankfully, the weather was warm, we didn't get rained on and there weren't too many mosquitos! There were swarms of bees though around our picnic tables! My friend and I went around trapping the bees with plastic cups and writing "Angry Bee: do not touch" on the cups! Camping was a beautiful way to end the summer before starting school back up.
In the last two weeks, I've been caught up in school and homework. As you get older, it seems like kids are given more and more homework to fill their days. There has not been one day in which I have had no homework yet this year, and I already have had multiple tests and quizzes. Even this next week, I already have three quizzes and three tests lined up. I'm still trying to figure out how to balance schoolwork and times to relax to do things like read, write on my blog, draw, bake and watch TV.
I've also been dancing. Last week, my dance classes began and this year, I am dancing four days a week. As usual, I am taking ballet and pointe, but I am also trying a new class - tap! This isn't my first time taking tap; I used to take tap when I was younger but had to drop the class when I switched studios. I'm now ready to get back into it though and am excited to be starting it up again! Hopefully, I can make a post about tap and how it is coming along for me in the coming weeks as I get more into the class.
Other than that, my days have been filled with miscellaneous shenanigans that have kept me busy and away from writing. I have been thinking of things to write about and have some ideas that I hope will be written soon! I am also going to finish my vacation pictures from Washington DC.
As for now, I am feeling relieved to let you, my readers, know what is goong on with me. I hope you'll get to see some more frequent posts about a variety of topics! You all are in my prayers!
