Busy as a bee

You know how life has really slow, relaxing times and then all the sudden out of the blue it picks up the pace? Well this is really one of those speedy times.

This year, I decided to pick drama 1 as one of my electives. At first I was so scared and thought that there was no way that I could handle this class and I thought about switching out of it. But as time went on it got better and better and now it is the class I look forward to the most. Anyways, recently we started working on stage combat and it has been super fun. Today Ms.Lloyd told us that in exactly one week we were going to have a non-optional performance after school at 7 pm at which we will perform a little fight scene skit that showcases what we have learned in stage combat. I'm really excited for it, but at the same time totally scared silly! I've never had to do anything like this in front of anybody, let alone a theater full of strangers and fellow classmates. So for the next week, the days will be full of writing and practicing.Hopefully all goes well. :)

Next fun thing is the movie we are making in Mutual, which I am WAY totally psyched about!!! So the boys were in charge of the combined activity for November and they chose to do a movie night. But it's not going to be just any movie night, it will be one with videos that we make about standards from the Strength for Youth pamphlet. The Mia Maids chose Language and that's about all I can tell you right now :) We all are going to be filming that next Wednesday around Covington.

My Saturday is also going to be really busy too. That's the date for the PSAT, which sounds really scary, a key club road clean-up right after and my birthday! I'll finally be 15 :) yay!

Finally, in AP biology we just got assigned a really big and super fun project. It's on the organ systems of the body and it requires a lot of time consuming easy work and reading. For it we are supposed to an online magazine called Discover and there, there is a regular article called Vital Signs. For all of you who have ever watched Mystery Diagnoses, its pretty much like that and I actually am looking forward to reading them. There are 11 organ systems so we have to read and write about 11 articles, one for each system. That project will be due the Monday after next so the26th ... I think :)

Real quick, last thing: today I used my recorder for the first time in Bio and it WORKED!!! I am so excited about this and can't wait to use it in the future :)
