Almost Summer

Well, I haven't posted in almost exactly three months. Good time to start again, huh? What with school ending and stuff. I'm going to try and make this summer not boring. Ever since I've been getting the summer vibes (end of the year tests, AC is installed, mosquitoes invade), I've been cleaning and appreciating school more, because my teachers are nice and I get to see my friends every day. This summer I'm going to try and teach myself the basics of the piano. The library never fails to provide the right books. I'm also going to try and be active, advance more in my Italian, paint my nails differently each week, and figuratively scarf down as many books as I can.

When it's summer, I can read books until 5am everyday if I want to. Plus there can be sleepovers and camping and no homework for two and a half months (for me). School doesn't end for me until June 11th, and the day after I have the Washington D.C. trip with my orchestra for four days and three nights. Doesn't that seem fun? Months ago I didn't know if I was going and I didn't feel that excited about it, but now I'm plenty excited.

Lately I've been not that busy. This weekend dragged on pretty well. In almost all of my classes at school we're starting end of the year tests. Which reminds me...I should study especially for math...

The other day I was looking for something to wear, and I saw Kelly's cute, big black and white checkered hoodie. Of course it's too hot for that, but it is so SOFT. And I like how the sleeves and hoodie are big and baggy. So, I have decided to save my money to buy a green and white striped hoodie. I feel like it would be totally worth it. :)

One of my goals this summer is to start blogging again, at least once a week. So tune in next time on my blog. That means you, Amy!

Adventure with Daddy

Oh my gosh, so today Heidi, Kelly, and I went on an adventure with Daddy to Menomonee Falls! We visited Moma at Cracker Barrel, and then went to an AWESOME arts and crafts shop - it was bigger and greater than Hobby Lobby! We were in the same aisle most of the time, and we got a bunch of neato stuff. And guess what? I got an ink pen! With a jar of ink and a really cool quill! Isn't that SPECTACULAR? See for yourself:

It's so awesome. At the store they had more ink colors and stuff, and it looked real cool. Heidi and I are writing letters back and forth, and it's pretty sweet. I'm from Westchester, and she's from Yorkshire. THIS IS SO FUN!

How was your weekend?

Recently

Hi everybody! I've kind of been neglecting my blog for a while, so I thought that I would post today.

Last week Heidi, Kelly, and watched Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes on Heidi's computer. One day we ate doughnuts while doing said activity.

I played with Barbies and dressed them as hobos.

Ooh, plus I took a bunch of cool pictures of Barbie shoes.

Ah, I'll never get tired of that. I'm going to the library now, I think. Have a good Saturday!

Update: Me

(Picture taken yesterday, when my hair was mega wavy)

I pasted this off of Heidi's blog, and filled it out as directed ^^

Feeling: Tremendously content. It's still break, and I am completely comfortable in my pajama pants.

Loving: My new camera that I've been taking so many pictures with. It's so awesome, and takes amazing macro pictures. 8D

Reading: a few books at the same time. I recently went to the library and got heaps of books. I'm reading Tithe, A Study in Scarlet, The Last Wife of King Henry VIII, and The Da Vinci Code.

Wanting: to pet Lola at this very minute because she is so fuzzy. Ooh, I'll do that now! ^^

Dreaming: Of the time school starts again, so I can see my friends again and tackle-hug them and yelling in fake disbelief, "I haven't seen you in a YEAR!" XD

Having: a bag of cheese squares left over from our New Years Eve party. Yum!

Waiting: to watch more Pushing Daisies ;)

HOW ABOUT YOU? TAKE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF AND POST IT WITH YOUR UPDATE.
