It’s DECEMBER!! And I haven’t posted since October! Oh, I have so much to tell you!
I’ve finished two writing contests and am editing the entry for the third contest. Our school newspaper (which I co-edit) just had its third issue printed. Lastly, (and I’m sure you figured this out), the reason I haven’t been posting is a combination of my laziness and my never-ending schoolwork.
I am on lesson 92 of Algebra 2, which means I will be finishing it very soon!! Then on to Advanced Mathematics…and then Calculus, I think. Yay? I do enjoy math, though – it’s one of my favorite subjects.
My school is, as always, doing a Lessons and Carols program this Christmas, and this year it will be a community lessons and carols, meaning it is open to the public. We hope a lot of people come! My principal asked me to design the flyers, so I’m working on that.
We had two house guests over for Thanksgiving week (Wednesday before Thanksgiving to the Tuesday after it). One of them is a seventh grade girl, like me, and the other house guest was her brother, who is a freshman in high school. We had a lot of fun.
Our county might be cutting the funding for all libraries in my county!! As soon as I heard of this (it was last night), I wrote the Board of Commissioners a letter saying why the library is important to me. I hope it makes a difference, because I really need and like my library – how else am I supposed to get new books to read, besides the fact that I’m learning writing techniques from the books I check out!
Finally, tomorrow we are having a book discussion on six Sherlock Holmes stories…so let’s hope it goes well. We’re going out for pizza before the discussion and then returning to school.
I hope you all have a wonderful December! Sorry for the late post.
