Dear Readers & Blog,
I am sorry for abandoning you! I know that it has been an extremely long time since I last posted here, and I have absolutely no excuses for my neglect. However, I have so much to share with you over these next coming posts that you’ll be glad I bottled some information up to share with you! 🙂
First, I am no longer a sophomore. This year seemingly turned out fantastic. I made some new friends, who are now sophomores {I’m a Junior; can you believe it?!}, and even a friend from a different country! My school had an exchange student from Italy, who ended up being a really great guy. With his locker being exactly four doors away from mine, it was very easy to have conversations with him! I will tell you one thing; he sure was a champ at tennis.
Next things addressed; being a Junior, I have a lot of responsibilities to take care of. I have started AP U.S. History, which entails seven different intensive assignments over the summer, accounting for 15% of our first quarter grade. Yikes! I also opted for Trigonometry and Chemistry, instead of the usual class placements. Even more intriguing, I’m going to be taking college Psychology and Sociology, which I am a bit nervous about. I hope to keep up with many things over this year. Let’s break down a list of what my year will look like:
- Homework.
- Piano.
- Studio.
- Community Service.
- This blog.
- Fishie.
- Keeping my room clean.
- Keeping my desk clean.
… All right, now that I look at it, my year may not be that bad with planning.
The real topic I wanted to talk about today was my Studio training session I took part in today. I found it to be very fun, and very eye-opening. I learned much more than I ever have in previous sessions. I now realize what a big part our community has in our writing style. I can’t let out too many secrets, but this summer’s activities look very amusing! I just can’t wait for my new sessions in August.
Right now, I’m working on something called “A Writer’s Notebook.” On the outside, I put on inspirational things that portray what I want to be as a writer. Inside, I paste pictures for story ideas, characters, and settings; write journal entries, favorite writing websites… it’s quite a nifty idea. I can’t wait to see what I fill the composition notebook with! I may post a picture when I finish.
Well, this post is getting pretty long, and I want to continue my writer’s notebook. I also have to get cracking on some AP U.S. work!
Have a lovely week, folks. I will update ASAP. {Including the website itself!}
Lots of ♥,
