Take a peek at the YLCF's post for today. The link is down on the right.

Life and school

Actually I guess school is my life right now. :) Just kidding. School has been really good lately. Everybody's getting ramped up for Fall Retreat!!! I did a post on last year's FR, but for those who weren't reading then, my school takes all the highschoolers away for about two days for a time of fellowhip, worship, speakers, games, food.... :) They break up the students into groups of about 12, and I'm very happy with my group this year. Fun teacher, fun classmates; it's all good! School itself is going quite well too. I was a little busier than usual tonight, but better tonight than over the weekend. Sophmore year really doesnt' seem so bad so far. How did your week go? Let me know!

Pictures

Yesterday was just so pretty out, so Mom and I (and Bono!) went out to take some pictures.

Modeling!

I modeled some of Mom's designs for her yesterday. So fun!

First Day!

Today was the first day of the 2010-2011 school year! Thankfully it was a half day. :) I have Apologetics, Geometry, Spanish I, Honors English, Honors Biology, World History, and Creative Writing. My class is divided in some interesting ways. The sophmore class has 22 students, but we're in two different maths, so half of my classes have 22 students and the other half have 8! Funny how the schedule works.... All my teachers seem very nice and fun (I've had most of them before), and my classmates are great people too. Now, why don't you tell me about your first day!

Jane Austen Charater Quiz

I found this on the YLCF's archives. Try taking it, and then let me know what you are! (I'm an "L" for anyone who wants to know.) Jane Austen Character Quiz

ADDED LATER: On the request of a friend, here is a link to another Jane Austen Quiz: Jane Austen Quiz

Post from the archives of YLCF

I really enjoyed this post. It was very good...and very convicting. :) I don't always treat my brother or other guys in my life as I should; it was nice to get the reminder of one of the reasons that it is so important! Encouraging Boys to Manhood

Hair and more hair!

I know that a couple of you blog readers have dogs, and most of you know that I have two Golden Retrievers, Bono and Tallie. They shed like you wouldn't believe, but I never thought it was possible for a dog to have as much hair as Bono does. I brushed him for close to 15 minutes and this was the result:


The box was half full of hair by the time I finished, filled all the way up to the handle! Bono looks like he's lost about 5 pounds....

"By Our Love"

I read this post this morning and really enjoyed it. I think it's a very good and timely reminder of what it truly means to be a Christian, especially in our society today. Let me know what you think about it! Lies Young Women Believe By Our Love

Look at YLCF!

This month, the Young Ladies Christian Fellowship is rerunning certain posts of theirs. I really liked the one today, and would encourage you to take a peek. I was inspired to apply it to my own life, through school! I can work harder at not complaining about teachers or homework, I can try to do my best in everything, I can be productive, and I can also be nice to those classtmates that maybe get on my nerves. Anyway, take a look and then what I've just written will make more sense! :)
