Spring Break

Last week was my spring break, and let me tell you, I needed it. After half of the second semester was done with, I for sure needed a break. Thankfully, I got it :) I was finally able to have time to do some of the things I actually enjoyed doing (just to be clear, that is not homework). So, what exactly did I do? Yes, sleep, but I also got to finish a painting that I've been working on lately, and it looks *in a high squeaky voice* "Fabulous!" Also, over break, my mom and I began working on a project together that includes many, many yards of tulle... :) Something else that I did as I had more free time was play the piano, which I love to do. However, since I get so much homework during school (and no, it's not so much from you, Mrs. Heisler) I don't have enough time to practice. Besides all the fun artsy stuff that I got to do, I also spent quite a bit of time with my family, which I find to be something that a lot of people don't do enough :( Any who, let's not turn this into a sad story, let's focus of happy things, oh, like when I finally, on the last day of spring break, got to do something that I'd been waiting to do since May of 2014.... and that is.... see the new Cinderella movie. And let me just say, Disney did a great job once again bringing a classical movie to life with great actors and a great plot (even though we all know the story, of course!). And so that is what I did over break. No fancy trips to Hawaii or anything like that, but it sure was fun :D

So, now that I'm back at school, I am frightened that homework will destroy me again... nah, I'm just kidding. No actually, I'm not. But, I do have some goals for finishing up this year. I'm going to try to plan my days so that I'm not stressed about homework and can still get some adequate hours of sleep in every night. -I'm also going to try to squeeze in some studying for the upcoming ACT, and hopefully be able to wisely choose my classes for next year. Still, I'm hoping that somehow this last quarter is going to be a bit merciful... we shall all hope together.
