Back

Okay, I'm finally back! I've just kind of been too lazy to write any more entries, but today I finally worked up the energy. lol

Well, my fall break was pretty good. I spent the whole break at my grandparents' house (we left Friday after I got out of school and got back the next week on Sunday evening). I didn't do that much in Florida. But I did get to go shopping with my mom and aunts. That wasn't quite as fun as it usually is because one of my aunts is the kind of person that has to look at literally every store in the whole mall. But it was still okay because I still got to look in some of the stores I like and I got a few long-sleeved shirts for when the weather starts getting cooler.

Then, of course, I had to return to school after we got home. I took the PSAT on Wednesday. It wasn't too hard luckily, but something really irked me. They only gave us 25 minutes to do each section! Okay, seriously, people can't do math if they seriously think we're able to do that in 25 minutes. On the reading, for example, there were 24 or 25 questions in the first section, and they gave us 25 minutes to do that. Meaning we had one minute to answer each question, which normally might be reasonable, but we also had to read the passages that pertained to the questions! So they basically gave us no time to do that. And then the math was the same way- they only gave us a minute to answer each question so we couldn't even work out most of the problems! Now I'm pretty sure the actual SAT isn't timed, and I know this was just practice so the fact that I didn't finish most of the sections probably doesn't matter that much, but still! It was frustrating to not have enough time to finish.

Then my aunt and uncle came to visit (we didn't see them over fall break because they were visiting my dad's parents while we were at my mom's parents' house, so they came to our house for a few days after they left my dad's parents' house). They got here Tuesday and left this morning. My mom let me skip school yesterday so I could spend some time with them (don't worry, I wasn't doing anything important yesterday. :) I didn't have any tests or anything!)

Well, it seems like fall is arriving. Just about a month ago, it was still in the 80s and really humid, but this morning I woke up shivering because I had only worn soffe shorts and a T-shirt to bed, and apparently it was only 50-some degrees outside so the house was a little cooler. Now it's only 67 degrees outside. I guess that's still somewhat warm, but it feels kind of cold after being so used to heat and humidity!

Well, tonight I'm going to another dance at my friend's church. Tonight is also the homecoming dance at my school, so the church is sort of having their own homecoming, I guess. lol. I never really care about homecoming at school since my friends don't usually go, so I decided to just go to the other dance. It's going to be fun! =D

Almost fall break!

Finally! lol. Tomorrow is my last day before fall break. I just have to get through tomorrow- I have to present my power point in science and take my Spanish test (which my teacher told us had "pre-AP" level questions- that sounds quite scary) and then I'll be free!!!! This will be my last post for awhile, because after I get out of school my parents and I are leaving to go visit my grandparents, and we'll be gone pretty much the whole break. We'll be getting back either Saturday or Sunday of next week. So bye! =D
