Well, I hate to admit it, but I'm sick. Sick with senioritis that is. It's funny because last year I looked at all the Senior's and thought, "I'm sure I will never catch Senioritis." I guess I was wrong. I have absolutely zero desire to do homework. Luckily I haven't had very much homework this past week, but I'm going to need to step it up in the coming weeks. I want to finish strong!!
I got the results back from most of my exams the other week. I got several 5's, a couple 6's, and one 7! In letter grade a 5=the B range, 6= the A range, and 7=A+. So, I was very pleased with the scores. Hopefully with even more time to study I will do even better in May.
We had a half day off school on Thursday and then no school on Friday. Mom and I went fabric shopping for my "prom" dress on Thursday and then again on Saturday. My school doesn't really have Prom, but they do have a High School Formal dance. It's not a bring-a-date dance and it sounds like most of the seniors don't go, but my friends and I decided we'll go. We would rather not go to the after school senior dance (not school related) involving alcohol,etc. I'm really grateful I've found good friends with good values here. It's been a huge blessing! I'm having a dress made by a local tailor because that is a lot easier than having to try to find one. It kind of makes it kind of fun! We found the fabric in the market surprisingly fast and then went to a tailor that my friend told me about. It was an interesting experience. When we got there we found out that no one could speak English and then when we asked one employee, who could roughly speak, if they could make the dress they just kind of shook their head blankly at us. Then they just kind of left us standing there in the middle of the store. So, we ended up leaving a little frustrated at the lack of help. We went to another tailor after that who was, refreshingly, a really good, professional business woman and very helpful. The dance is at the end of the month, so I guess you'll just have to wait until then for pictures!
Mom and I went out for breakfast on Friday at a small, natural/organic cafe near our house. It has excellent food, and we were both very happy with our food! There's just something about going out to breakfast that brings me warm and fuzzies on the inside! :) That evening my friend, Holly, came over to our house before we went to a birthday dinner for my other friend. I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty awkward. We just sat and played boardgames for a couple of hours because there's nothing else to do, which, to our family is fun and entertaining, but I sometimes get the feeling that to the rest of the world they are boring and childish. Oh well-such is life. Chantelle you'll be interested in this: I tried Japanese food for the first time! My friend had her birthday dinner at a Japanese BBQ. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling too well, so I didn't try everything, but the stuff I did was very good. I decided I love Japanese BBQ's. They're so fun! The tables have a little grill in them and they bring you out thinly sliced raw meat that you dip in eggs and then BBQ. It has a really fun atmosphere-very social!
I was reading from one of mom's books about attitudes and really liked this quote, "When we choose not to focus on what is missing in our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present...we experience heaven on earth." -Sarah Breathnach Attitude is everything!
I love you each so much and hope you have a good week!
Love,
Kenzie
