Sweet Sunshine

I finally could go running today!  I went around the loop and beat the middle schoolers that ride the bus home.  I would have gone farther, but dad was dropping Mary off at a friend's house so I went with him and then we went home!

I survived the first week of eighth grade!  I already have two projects, ugh!  Anywho, I am so excited for the weekend.  I'm going to have some friends over tomorrow so that should be fun!  It's going to be a good weekend!

More Stinking Rain

It rained again!  I am so aggravated with the weather!  Oh, well maybe tomorrow, i guess....  At least the weekend is almost here!  I can't wait for the weekend!  I'm excited to sleep in.

More Rain

It rained again today. Ugh. Like mini-hurricane. But my school day was good. I got first violin in orchestra which I am really excited about. So school is good. A friend came home with us and mom told me she's coming home with us every Tuesday. So that's something to look forward to! In language arts, we have this thing called a gratitude journal and in it we right about five things that we are thankful for. I think it's a really good thing to do. I think I will try to continue it outside of school.

First Day

First day of school! My teachers are good. I have some friends in my classes so it's pretty okay. I think it's going to be a good year. I'm excited. Some of my teachers are strange. I wish I had a few more friends in my classes but I think it's going to be good. So I'm excited. I couldn't go running though because it rained. I think that's going to be a big issue in the afternoon. I think it's always fun to start off the year with brand new supplies and all that. I think they have made a LOT of changes this year. I like some of them and some of them don't seem smart. Like we have to put our backpacks in our locker and carry our binder which is three inches thick. I'm excited for my french class too. It's gonna be good year.

The Last Day of Summer

Today is the last day of summer. I couldn't go running because I overslept. I totally didn't wake up to my alarm. It's not like I got to sleep in on the last day of summer anyway, I had an orthodontist appointment, which stinks. I was so excited for school a week ago, but as it came creeping up, I began to dread it more and more. Today we went out to lunch with friends and then had a quiet night at home. Yesterday we went school supply shopping and we got on the news! It was so cool. Someone from the news asked us if we were a family and we said yes and then he filmed us getting supplies and checking out and he interviewed us! We have it on our DVR. It was awesome!
