Let the Studying Begin!

We're already going crazy....

Starbucks Studying?

On the first day of Spring Break, Damarise and I decided to settle down into a local Starbucks and study. Or so we told ourselves. After finally finding a Starbucks that we could park at, we ambled inside to use Damarise's free birthday Starbucks drink. Then we sat down to study. Damarise has read a bit of her paper, and I have written a bit of my paper. But for the most part we've just been sitting here laughing, talking, and enjoying each other's company. I love my older sis.

As for the studying, hey, it's Spring Break...we have time to do homework :)

Breathe!

Ah! I can breathe again. I just finished a very busy weekend and beginning of week. I had two observations to, well, observe, one big test to study for and take, one lesson plan to make, 10 review questions to answer, 7 smallish papers to write, and some extra stuff on the side, like setting up for a dance, helping paint a house, and trying to be just a little sociable. Ahhh. The relief of having that weekend behind me is wonderful :)

In other news, it is now November! Ah yes! The frigid months are coming. Something has just been seeming a wee bit weird. It has been in the upper 80s for the last several weeks. Until today, it is now in the 50s and I'm happy :) I love the cold weather. I just like all the seasons that God has blessed us with. Speaking of seasons, we had some crazy weather last week. Complete with tornado watches/warnings and all. Last Monday, Damarise and I were woken up to some very strong winds and sure enough there was a tornado warning! Eek! It didn't last long, but the next day we were under tornado watch for the entire day. Since we knew that it could turn to a tornado warning any minute we decided to watch a movie about tornado safety :) It was great!

We've also gotten out to enjoy the beauty of God's creation in this lovely season of Autumn! I love all the colours that are flowing from the tops of trees!

I've also, again, realized how much God has blessed me with the people He has place in my life! Friends from MO have been encouraging me and helping me out with a project for school, friends here are just great in listening and encouraging me and helping me study, and friends from all over the world have just been a huge blessing to me this past month. I'm so thankful to God for all the amazing people He has placed in my life!

As an example of a great friend... Kathleen stuck a sticky note on my calendar. I didn't find it 'til I flipped over to the month of November :) It brought a smile to my face :) Thanks Kathleen!

Well, that is all the news for now, hopefully I will not be so busy again, and can maybe keep this a little bit more updated :) But until next time, so long!

Study, Study, Study... *gulp*

May 3rd is the day. That nerve racking day. The day when I'll be taking, gulp, that SAT! So, maybe I'm a little out of it, but I didn't know you had to take the test to get into a college. Now that I do, well it's all the more anxiety building up. Ok, ok, so maybe it won't be to bad. I hope! 

When Dad was in the States in December, he brought back The Official SAT Study Guide for Damarise and me to study from. It is 890 pages. Ha, I freaked out when I saw it! It is huge! But, we are getting through it, and are thankful that we can study for it! It looks harder that I guess I was hoping for, but hey such is life:) hehe. Right now Damarise and I are both trying to build up our vocabulary, which we realized wasn't to great. Like totally;) ... So yes, that is what we have been doing. And God is so good! His timing is always perfect!! Because, Damarise and I are done with all of our school with ACE (besides geometry... but that's another story) so we have from now until May 3rd, just for studying for the SAT! Wow!!! God is GOOD!!! :) Anyways, I should get back to studying:) Yeah!
