I'm just barely scraping through with this post. September is almost over. But I've prevailed. I have not failed this time to meet the deadline for this month's post. So here I am with several things to report.
Before the school year got too hectic, I was lucky enough to get in a vacation and a camping trip.
My mom's side of the family got together at the beach. We rented a beach house for a weekend near the beginning of this month. We had a weekend full of fun.
I found that despite my only previous experience with fire being creating tissue paper models, I managed to build a wonderful fire.
I played on the beach with one of my little brothers. We found an abundance of seaweed and a piece of coral. I also drew a myriad of hearts in the sand.
We played games and watched movies as a family as well.
Overall, it was a wonderful weekend and I got to know my family better.
This last weekend, my immediate family went on a camping trip with my best friend's family. We stayed at a campsite next to a lake.
I once again put my newly discovered fire skills to good use.
The weather was hot, so I spent most of the second day chilling with my best friend. I also gave us both henna tattoos.
Later, she and I went out on the boat with her dad. He took us water tubing. Now that was great fun. It was bumpy and crazy and fast. We took the boat up to 40mph.
I also got a chance to do some star gazing. I watched the moon rise over the lake.
Overall, another great weekend.
Classes have also started back up again. This term, I am taking 2nd year Japanese and Biology 102. So far, everything's going well... but it's only the first week. Next week should be more difficult. We shall see.
As we continue further into this season of autumn; have a good school year, stay warm, drink coffee, enjoy the outdoors, watch the falling leaves.... plus more!
