Weekly Review 10/20

This weekend my family and I went to a pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch was in Barrington, IL. It was Goeberts Farm. At first I thought it was really childish but, it turned out to be really fun. My sister and I got to ride a camel. We even got to pet and feed a baby kangaroo! There were so many different animals at the patch. They had a small zebra, a water buffalo and even giraffes! It was so cool. The pumpkins were so big! They even had one called the Big Mac because it was just so ginormous!

This week was the best week. It was spirit week so each day we had a theme. I didn’t dress up most of the days but it was still extremely fun. The week went by pretty quick which was the best part about it. During the weekend, we had homecoming. It was a great night. I had a sleepover with two of my close friends. We did facials, had crepes for breakfast and took tons of pictures. My friend Bebe loves chilaquiles so my other friend’s mom made that for breakfast also. All in all, it was one of the greatest weeks ever.

During the weekend, I went to my little cousin’s birthday party. His name is Jayden and he turned a year old. The party was mainly for the little kids, but I did enjoy myself. My sister and I worked on a piñata that was shaped like a plane. It was extremely cute, yet it didn’t go with his birthday theme. The theme was Super Why. We did a few games and those little kids were very aggressive. I was pretty scared of them. All in all the party turned out great and I could tell that Jayden enjoyed his day.

My week was okay, I guess. It went by faster than all the other weeks. I didn't have much homework which was a complete and utter miracle. I got to see a friend of mine play soccer. Well, I got to see his school play. Varsity tied, 1 to 1. They aren't very great soccer players so it was not as interesting as I thought it would be. My weekend was pretty fun. I had a sleepover with my best friend. I’m actually writing this at her house. All in all my week was fun and it went by pretty quick. Hopefully next week is the same.

Weekly review 9/22

This week was pretty bad. I was sick the entire week and I missed two days of school. The days that I did go to school were confusing. I missed those one plus one equals two days, as my guitar teacher would say. I wouldn’t say I’m behind, but I’m not exactly ahead of the class either. If I didn’t miss those few days, I would be doing okay right now. I wouldn’t have to sort of struggle to complete an assignment or test. This week would have been way better, but thanks to Mother Nature and her change of weather, I became sick.

Weekly Review 9/15

This week was the slowest and longest week ever. The days dragged on and on. I was staring at the clock inside the classrooms the entire time. Each day felt like an eternity. I hate having a slow week because all I feel like doing is going home and getting some sleep. During the week, I am deprived of sleep so those two days at the end of the week are like heaven. Finally the weekend is here and I can relax. I obviously still have tons of homework but that doesn’t stop me from sleeping in. This week just sucked.
