This Week

This week was the first week being a 6th grader, phase 4 testing, the first time recycling car seats, and hosting a two hour study group at my house.

Tuesday, Wensday, Thursday, and Friday were the toughest days of my week. I went to a new school knowing no one, waking up really early (which I really don't like,) and carrying around a ten pound bag with me everywhere. And the fact that my school is huge and is also a high school doesn't make anything better. Now don't get me wrong, I love my new school, but having so many classes with homework due in two days is a little too much and overwhelming for me. And having to met totally new people is scary. But I at least made two friends during this week and I have nice teachers. So if you look at the pros instead of the cons, I had a good week. A tiring one, but good. 

Wensday was Phase 4 Testing and I felt as if I let myself and others down because I wasn't at my best. I tried not to be or look tired, but it turns out, I had no real energy left and I am terrible at acting. Phase 4 came so fast to me and I just didn't know how to react. I felt terrible when my mom said in the car she could have done better than me and I wasn't trying my best. But trust me, it isn't going to be like that on testing day. I am going to try my hardest to not be or feel like that ever again. 

Saturday, I was at my happiest when I woke up at 7:00 in the morning instead of 5:00. I felt more refreshed knowing I didn't have to hurry and get dressed and catch my bus, but relax and watch an episode of The Legend of Korra, (Love that show!) then get dressed and go to Aim High to help out with Annmarie's car seat recycling. We strip down the padding of the car seat, took out any metal or styrofoam, and cut out anything that could be cut and thrown away from the expired car seats. We did 45 (I think) expired car seats and put the car seats in the other building. It was fun to be able to cut things and throw away three bags of padding and anything "throwaway-able" into the dumpster. 

At around 2:30-2:55, Jae, Brandon, Taylor, and Kaitlyn arrived at my house for a study group to review the physical stuff like the kickboxing pattern, sticks, etc. and we were going to have some of my mom's cream puffs (which some people have not tasted yet) but the frosting for it wasn't ready so we ended up not having any. :( 

That was pretty much my week. How was yours? 

Did you know: About one-quarter of the bones in your body are in the foot—that's 52 out of more than 200!
