Awards+Fall!

10 10 2009

Happy weekend, all! 🙂 I have had a very relaxing morning and after this post, I’m gonna hop into the shower and get ready for a day out with friends. We’re going to a pumpkin farm and I’m SO excited! A delicious dinner will be included as well. Who knows what else we’ll do?! 🙂

I’ve gotten my geometry homework done, and I plan on studying Latin vocabulary on the way there 🙂 While still being social, of course! I still have a busy day tomorrow:

  • Study for history test on Monday
  • Study for Religious Studies test on Tuesday
  • Study for biology quiz on Thursday
  • Finish memorizing ~80 vocab words for Latin quiz on Monday
  • Re-work through PSAT practice book—PSAT is on WEDNESDAY!!
  • Calculate all my service hours from the past year

As you can see, I definitely have a busy Sunday!

Haha, I’m pretty much obsessed with Christmas too 😀 Which is one reason why I really love your new bowl and mug! Super cute!

I have my PSAT on Wednesday, too! Not stressing about it, though. I’ve already taken the SAT as a 7th-grader and the PSAT once before as an 8th-grader… shouldn’t be that hard to pass ’em again! And I completely agree with you on 3-6 of your list: maturity of sophomores is a rare thing, Christmas is completely divine, I love my home, and sweet potatoes rock regular potatoes’ socks off! lol. 🙂

Nice oats, btw. I’m kinda hesitant to try banana and pumpkin together… I think it would taste funny…?
