2011!

Welcome to the new year and the 3rd quarter of school! Many exciting things happened last year and the first half of the school year and there is more to come. Last year, the beginning of high school was stressful and I was afraid to speak up to be heard. Since then, school has stayed stressful but I have taught myself how to manage everything. I have learned how to take such a large work load and take it one step at a time rather than all at once. I have also joined chorus. I have wanted to do this since I was little, but I never had a good voice. I still do not, but it sounds nicer than it did before, and it makes me happy. I have made great strides this year and I will continue to make more. In English we are ending A Midsummer Night's Dream. This will be the first Shakespeare play that I have read so finishing it will be a great accomplishment. After we finish that up, we will be reading Into the Wild. This is a true story. I'm curious to see what it is about because when I was in sixth grade we read The Call of the Wild by Jack London, which was excellent, but I always got these titles mixed up. I wonder if they are similar. I shall soon find out.
