Labor Day

Today was a great day. I got up earlier than I have all summer (not counting that sleepness night during the Wilderness Survival merit badge!) and got started on my day. Prayers, scriptures, sit ups, cream of wheat, get to work. I got a strong start on Latin this morning and continued in Science and then in Government, my 2nd and 3rd easiest subjects.

Before starting on Math I had to go out and do some work with the family on our (neglected) yard. It is almost traditional for our family to come back from a summer full of travelling to a weed infested, dry wasteland. And so today we got started on fixing it up, celebrating labor day with a bit of labor!

I got back, finished Math, and then I (eventually) got my rough draft figured out for the Autobiographical Narrative that I need to do for English.I finally decided on a topic: My month long stay at my Aunt Heather's house summer 2009.

It felt so good to set goals and GET THEM DONE! :)

We had a pretty good dinner tonight. We had chili dogs and fruit salad, followed by a cake (which I got to make!) and a delicious fruit smoothe. Family night was okay; I think we're getting better at having them.

Tomorrow is an exciting day for me: choir starts! I hope they'll let me in again; we're going to just walk in and register and hope they don't notice that they actually aren't really supposed to let me in
 for some strange reason like what happened last year. We'll see what happens.

Sigh... my day has been filled with good music. I love love love my Josh Groban/Andrea Bocelli (I think that's how you spell his last name) channel on Pandora. These guy's voices are awesome. My voice has been feeling awesome today. I've been able to hit the high notes in my Buble songs decently! Maybe summer is a curse for me, the school year feels SO GOOD in all aspects of my life!
