Stripes Are My Friends.

Okay, so maybe the pants are a little wild, but overall I love stripes :) I don't nearly have enough striped outfits, but really like them. They seem to make everything bolder and interesting. Specifically, I think the dress in the middle is really cute. Oh, and the girl on the left looks like Francesca Battistelli to me. Just a random thought ;) 

G'night,

15 Things Before 15 Second Update!

Okay, so here's my progress for the last 15 days!

You can see the complete list here.

#3 is to write 15 letter to my pen pals. I've written one more letter, so I now have written 5 in total.

#5 is to write 15 short stories/poems. I wrote 2 more poems, 'Sunrise' and 'Nighttime', for a total of 3.

#6 is to make 15 desserts. I made some chocolate chip cookies which didn't rise, but they tasted good, so I now have made 5 total ;)

#7 is to paint my nails 15 different colors. I've painted them a really light shade of purple, bronze, creamy pink, and ruby red so I now have painted my nails a total of 9 different colors. I think this goal could be completed by the next update. LOL :)

#9 is to meet new people, and so I met 1 more person in my writing class at my homeschool group. I now have met 4 people since my first update!

#10 is to read 15 books of the bible, and so I've read two more. 2 Peter, and James so I now have 4.

#12 is to make 15 bracelets, and I made my first friendship bracelet in a long while. I made a tutorial for them I'll have to post sometime :)

The other goals have tragically not been touched in 15 days. I can't really touch 1 and 2 until my birthday comes and basketball season starts. 4 is kind of hard for me to complete right now as our piano has been acting weird and my guitar is sort of out of tune, but soon I hope to do some of that one. I usually read full books in just a day, but I haven't found any I like recently! Soon goal 8 will hopefully be started :) What's everyone's favorite books? I need some suggestions. I specifically think my favorite type of books is historical fiction, but any stories are good as long as they're interesting. :)

 Finally, I've been to lazy to attempt #13 ;) The others I haven't mention I've started already, but not done anything in the last 15 days with them.

Have a nice night everyone,

School

Today I officially started school. My first day of my freshman year (Wow, I can't believe I'm already a freshman!) was good and bad at the same time. Great in that I'm officially a high schooler, great in that math was a piece of cake, and great that overall school wasn't too hard today. It was bad, in that I found out I have to memorize 27 definitions for my first Biology test! I have a BAD memory when it comes to something I don't want to remember (like science definitions), and so I'm a little nervous about science this year... hopefully it will get better! Then I looked at module 6, and found I have 45 definitions, so I changed my mind about that first thought ;) Oh well, it probably won't be too bad... I hope...

This is my 9th grade notebook cover which I designed. I took out my last name on the picture (if you can tell) but that's basically how it looks :) To me the cover makes school seem so much more inspirational... sort of... but anyways, I made it up of a bunch of pictures I found with stuff I liked, and stuff that looked cool. What I'm still wondering though, is what on earth is that green circle thing with a black outline on the bottom? I haven't figured it out, but I'm determined to! I liked the color, so I put it in LOL :)

Hope everyone else who has started school already has had a good first school day too!

Yesterday I took tons of pictures outside, and so here are a few of them!

So basically, those are just some I took outside of our house. Well, have a fantastic day!
