This morning I woke up around 7 and finished reading The Impossible Knife of Memory  by Laurie Halse Anderson while Leo lay in my lap. Then I decided to eat breakfast, a bagel with cream cheese and greek yogurt with granola. Then I sort of just slumped around with Mr. Darcy all morning :) I then decided to order some books on Amazon: Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, and Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf.  In English we finished typed our College Admissions Essay and turned in it via Google Docs. Then in Government, we finished our presentations and had a short powerpoint for notes. Lastly, I had ballet which went well. (:

This morning I was suppose to go running with Caitlyn but we ended up canceling. Instead, I got ready, ate breakfast, and got my things together before leaving at 7:15. Now that I have a locker in the UC, it makes my life a lot easier than before, but I stopped by to switch out somethings before heading to Algebra. In class all we had was a test so when we finished we were allowed to leave. Emilia ended up going home since she drives now but Gabby, Heather, and I went to the UC to do some homework and talk. Heather left around 9:45 so Gabby and I spent the remainder of the time talking about literature and our education system so that was fun. (: Next, I had Psychology and OH. MY. GOD. it's so hard for me to even keep my eyes open in that class. No offense to my professor, but his voice is so monotonous... Anyway, we were 15 pages from completing chapter three before class ended. I decided to stop by Einstein's for some coffee since Starbucks is momentarily shut down and ...

Hey guys! This morning I woke up around 8 and started to get ready for my day while my mom gave a piano lesson. I managed to finish reading The Fountainhead  by Ayn Rand, which I enjoyed reading but was very strange... When she got home, we ate lunch and went to Austin Peay. I went to the library because I had to edit and print my College Admissions Essay Assignment. English was the only class I had today school-wise and all we did was peer edit each other's essays. Next, I hung out with Emilia, Gabby and Ben until about 4:10 before heading to Ballet. Class went well and Margaret certainly did not go easy on us but it was fun. :) At 6:45ish, my mom came to pick me up and we headed to Alexander's tuba/trombone lesson and I read The Impossible Knife of Memory  in the car until he was done.
