Today I woke up at 7 AM, ate breakfast, and did some homework before going to campus at noon.  For lunch, I ate rice with organic green beens and carrots and man oh man was it good! In English, we turned in our homework assignments and then were dismissed to go study for our test which is on Friday. In all reality, Channel, Emilia, Gabby and I went to the library to plan our Halloween weekend!  I LOVE HALLOWEEN.... it's just the best holiday ever! <3 Anyway, then Channel, Emilia, and I went to Government to finish watching "Runaway Jury". Today was also Channel's 18th Birthday!! So I bought her a coffee as her birthday present.  My last class was Ballet, which was fun and good and I mentioned the idea of going on pointe soon and my teacher said if I go a couple of weeks without any injury then I should be just fine to begin!! Which is exciting!! :) Sooo yeah that was my day!

This morning did a very good job at testing my internal clock because apparently, last night, I forgot to set my alarm. Yep. But it's okay because 1) I didn't have to leave the house until like 12 because I had a class at 1:45 and 2) I woke up at 7:30. Anyway, I woke up, ate breakfast, and completed some homework before eating lunch and going to Austin Peay. In English we read "The Last Battle" and "The Spoils" of Beowulf before being given an assignment to write 10 life lessons we learned from reading Beowulf.  In Government, we began watching a movie about Jury Selection and it's pretty cool. (: After class, I had Contest Essay Writers Club where we're currently reading The Fountainhead  by Ayn Rand, which I already read a few weeks ago, but now I'm reading it for the club and for the scholarship possibility.  Lastly, I had ballet today which went well for the most part. I've been getting a bit frustrated with my lack of ...

So I woke up this morning at 7 AM, practiced Cello, had my piano lesson, and then studied for Science Olympiad. I was dropped off at school at 12 and then I had English at 1:45.  We began with our introduction Beowulf, wrote Kennings, and took a Quiz over the first two sections of Beowulf.  In Government, we did worksheets on case studies before being dismissed. Lastly, I had ballet which was fun but we did some hard core stretches and now I'm super sore.  Anyway, it was a good day! :)

Hey guys! Here's just some Monday motivation! <333 This morning I woke up at 7:30 when I was supposed to go running at 7:15, but I was just too tired so I skipped a day. Anyway, I ate breakfast (bagel with cream-cheese and an apple) while watching some TV with my mom. Then I decided to do some college/scholarship research for a little bit and make sure to write down deadlines. My first and only class of the day was Government at 3:10, but my dad dropped me off on campus around 1 because he had to go to work so I spent that time organizing my emails and doing my English Independent Assignment which was taking notes on Introduction to Beowulf and reading parts of the translation given to us by our teacher. In Government, we took notes on our freedoms and their limitations. After class, Emilia, Channel and I went to the Study Abroad fair on APSU where we got free t-shirts so that was pretty cool. Then I volunteered at the College Fair from 5:45-6:45 through Key Club, befor...
