Friday

This weekend I'll probably sleep in, because I felt tired these first few days of school. I need to wake up so early in the morning that I feel tired quite a few times when I'm at school.
This weekend my dad and I might do a few things. We had started upgrading a computer at home, and we might finish doing that. I also have a check that I need to deposit at the bank. If I could do anything I want, I would look at all the garage sales (if there are any) and call all my friends that I miss. But I need to practice a rhythm for my Band class. Thankfully, I don't have any other homework I need to work on this weekend.

back to school

Yesterday was my first day of school this year. I was excited that I got to see my friends from last year. I look forward to this schoolyear--I hope it will be even better than last year.
This summer I did a good amount of things, but I did most of them close to home. I got to visit my grandparents in California, and went to a family reunion afterwords. I went hiking with my family to Waklela Falls in Oregon, for a 2-mile hike. The water was very cool there, and we got to throw rocks into the river. Our church had a 3-mile walk for the homeless that we went on last month. I spent the whole morning walking, and felt tired that afternoon, but I'm still glad I did it.
A few weeks ago it was my mom's birthday, so my dad got her a puppy and my family named her Pippin. She still needs to be taken care of, but she seems to be getting along with our other dog, Scooby, which we've had for more than ten years.
