Weeeek 16

     Literally all I have thought about this week is break... Only 4 days! Ahhh it can't come soon enough.

Anyways, last week was pretty good. The snow days helped a lot since I had a bunch a make up work to do so I was really happy about that. But during the school days I learned computer coding is harder than it looks and the Great Gatsby has multiple meanings... every word Fitzgerald uses has a 'deeper meaning' so its taken us awhile but English honors has finally 'finished' the Great Gatsby even though we really were done reading Monday night.

     Challenges this week would be getting all my projects done, I've spent several late nights trying to get them done. Another challenge would be the coding in computer, it kinda hard to follow since I'm not good at typing but I think I'm catching on. The last challenge would be putting up my Christmas lights this weekend....it was cold, I put them all up and THEN realized I did it wrong and had to take them all down, it was rough...

     Successes would be finishing my projects on time and getting good grades in math, also finally getting the house decorated...our tree isn't up yet but well get there;)

     My plans for this week our to finish all the projects and assignments due before break. Also I'm planning to do some Christmas shopping since I have like no presents for my family. Lastly I'm planning to help out at the bake sale today and Wednesday to help raise funds for gala😜

     20 time is going pretty good. I've been practicing the guitar every other day throughout the week but I still need to do some research and make the PowerPoint. I'm a bit behind but I'm planning to get a lot done today and Thursday in computer class. 

     This verse is basically saying that we shouldn't do anything selfishly, we should be serving for the glory of God not ourselves. 

Week 15

Well it's been a weird two weeks.... out of those two weeks so far Ive only had one day of school!

Yes I know your thinking what? But first there was thanksgiving break, then I got sick and was absent mon, tues and wednes, and I had a field trip on Friday so the only day I actually went to school was Thursday! I still feel like I went to school that entire time...I've spent my entire weekend and snow day doing hw, plus I just discovered I have all this other hw due tomorrow... I don't think the teachers are going to give us a break since they assigned it on Friday:P so much for my snow day. Overall I've learned a lot this past week, specifically that I dislike iPads because they don't give us a snow day, we still have to do our hw because we can turn it in online...

I don't have much of a week to summarize since I was absent but the field trip on Friday was awesome! We went to the Weinberg center and watched a bunch of poems and short stories acted out. I almost didn't get to go because my ride to school forgot to come and get me (cough* kara cough*) but my mom got a sub and came and got me, not even 5 minutes later we were riding in the bus about a minute after we had left school the door on the bus broke, mrs.pam had to sit at the front and hold it closed the whole trip there! It was an interesting day.

Challenges faced would be getting makeup hw done, it was rough, wait... it IS rough.....

Successes would be getting my internship paper turned in one time! It was exactly 4 seconds early! Sadly it was a few pages short but at least I got it in on time(;

My plans for the up coming week are to work really hard for 24 hours straight and try to get all this hw done so I can enjoy the snow day that we will most likely have tomorrow.

Progress on my 20 time lately hasn't been too good. Being absent and all has set me back a lot but ill catch up by next week, hopefully.

'that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ'. I lived out this verse this week by respecting God, i am always sincere during chapel and try to discern what he wants me to learn from the message. 

Week 14 blog

     So I know this blog is a little late, but that's what happens when your sick huh? Well its been an interesting week. So far I've been sick since Thursday but I'm almost certain I'm better now. I definitely didn't enjoy my thanksgiving break (being sick and all) but its still wasn't that bad. Since we didn't have much school I'm just gonna talk about thanksgiving break, some things I'm thankful for, 20 time, and the verse. 

     So me and my mom left right after school on Tuesday to drive to West Virginia where my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins live. We had to leave early because there was going to be this huge snowstorm in West Virginia in the afternoon so if we had waited we would have gotten stuck in it. For the first night I stayed at my grandmas and then for three days I stayed at my cousins, then I spent the last night at my grandmas. Throughout the trip I did a lot of shopping with my cousin, my aunt, my mom, and my sister. We spent like an entire day in one store, it was crazy.... I also ended up going to my second cousin's bridal shower (who I had never met before). Anyway for thanksgiving we went to my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Mike's house. They used to have an indoor pool but they turned it into a huge living room where all the guys play football every thanksgiving. I didn't feel too well but I ate a bunch of food anyway. There were sooo many leftovers I don't know what they did with them all but there was entirely too much food this thanksgiving. For the rest of day we just hung out. My uncles watched the steelers and ravens game which they weren't too happy about... my family is the only that are ravens fans, everyone in WV likes the steelers. After that I played basketball and a couple of rounds of apples to apples with my cousins. Once we got everyone together we did a family photo shoot with everyone since my cousin is a photographer. After that all the girl cousins did a few cheerleading stunts. We also talked a lot about the the teen USA pageant at the Bahamas since we're all going (my cousin won missWVTeenUSA). Overall thanksgiving this year was a lot of fun. I'm thankful for my entire huge family, for all my friends, and for the Christian school I get to attend:)

     20 time this quarter is going so much better. I've gotten two responses and one person actually emailed me back with answered questions! YES! It's also kinda weird... ever since I started tweeting all these famous guitar players, all these random guitar players that I don't know have started following me, not sure if they want me to send them the questions or not? Ive also been keeping up with actually learning to play guitar. I know how to play three songs now and my calluses are tough so I think Im doing ok. Overall 20 time is going really well and so far I have stuck with my schedule of getting tasks done.  

     The verse for this week is Colossians 3:12-18. I lived out this verse this week by showing compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience towards all my family members at thanksgiving. This verse is extremely important for us Christians. Sometimes we forget what it means to be a Christian. I know I have several family members that aren't Christians. It's important that no matter what, we always portray compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
