I wanna get back, get back with you.

Hey everyone! Listen, well technically read 'cause I'm not speaking, but you know what I mean. Anyways, I'm sorry I haven't been able to get on this for a while. Tell you the truth, I forgot about it for a while, and then I just didn't have time. School's been super hectic, so I'm either constantly working on homework, or not home. So I have a bunch of news to tell you!

WOW! I haven't been on here since a few weeks BEFORE school started! I'll have to get you updated on all things Broadneck. Okay, well the first couple days were terrifying because I had to get a new schedule and I had to find my new classes, meet new teachers etc. It was pretty scary, but eventually I got used to it and made a mental map of the best way to get to my classes. Classes have been going really well over the past couple months. I'm slowing getting the hang of AP Language; it's gonna be a LONG year in that class. AP Calculus is going well; my teacher is super cool, though also REALLY intimidating. I feel sort of bad because whenever I need help, I go to last year's teacher, not him...but oh well. Now here's the bombshell: I dropped American Sign Language. I know...I have such a passion for it but I had a good reason. The ASL III class was stuck into an ASL II class because only THREE students signed up! It just wasn't what I expected, so I left and switched into a SAT Prep class which is helping a lot. I'm in the math section now and after semester break I'll be going into the English half. The math teacher is super nice, and although we don't do a lot of work, I'm really learning a lot of things to help me pass the PSAT and the SAT. (The PSAT is on WEDNESDAY. I'll be doing practice tests this weekend.)

So that's all things school, besides all the friend drama, but I highly doubt you want to hear about that. OH remember all the stuff about me not being able to run for class president?! WELL now I can bite my thumb at Ms. Stupidface-not-allowy-pants. My administrative homeroom elected me, yes ME, to be their SGA (Student Gov't Association) representative! It's super exciting, and I'm finally getting involved in my school stuff. Homecoming is coming up next week ,though I'm not going. I really see a point in going, it's not that fun...for me at least.

Also, I'm involved in an organization called Raising for Reasons, which is a charitable organization. It's pretty awesome, we've only had one meeting, but it seems like it's gonna be a great year.

Next is what I've been doing currently. I'm still working at the bakery in Annapolis, and selling cakes of my own on the side. Still deciding on a major, but I'm leaning back toward culinary. I'm actually interested in the "food science" part of the culinary world. It seems pretty intriguing( sp?)

Also, I just recently finishing Driver's Ed. Thank god too. I was DYING in the class. SO boring...but at least my instructor was pretty cool, and I met a friend so I wasn't a complete loner. All I have left is my three in car driving sessions, and then I'm taking my test in January!

I think we're up to recent things! Well, this week was pretty good, but I'm more excited for SPIRIT WEEK next week. I believe the days are:
Monday- Twin Day (my best friend EMILY refuses to be my TWIN! what's up with that?!)
Tuesday-
Wednesday- Pajama Day (which also coincides with PSAT day, which is AWESOME)
Thursday- Class Color Day (my class has an orange that can melt your eyes)
Friday- NO SCHOOL!
Saturday- Homecoming parade and DANCE

It's gonna be an awesome week. Plus we do "Homecoming walls" at my school where the school has a theme and then each class is given an aspect. Our theme this year is like modern disney, and my class got Alice in Wonderland! How cool is that?!

Lastly, I went to a ZUMBA last night. I couldn't believe how much dancing these people can do. It's insane. I had to sit out for a while and rest my poor knees. Anyways, after that Kelly and I went on the treadmill/stairmaster and I burned 100 calories. I'm gonna try and be healthier...but we'll see.

This weekend is gonna be awesome because I'm making a prototype of my gingerbread contest entry for this year (hint: it's a yacht!) Then, on Sunday, Mom, Glenn, and I are going to a pumpkin patch to go get this years pumpkin! I'm also going to try SCULPTING pumpkins instead of carving. I'm hoping we're gonna get one to carve too because....I don't wanna screw up and then have a crappy pumpkin for this year.

Tell me which I should be for Halloween: Dr Jeckl/MRS. Hyde or TINKERBELL.

That's it for now, I'll try once a week to find some time to send out some updates!
Hugs and Cake,
Emily
